Ondo Finance has partnered with US financial infrastructure firm Broadridge to add proxy voting and corporate document access to more than 250 tokenized securities issued through Ondo. In a statement released Thursday, the company said investors will be able to do more than track price movements. They will also gain access to shareholder-facing materials, including regulatory notifications, and take part in governance processes tied to the underlying assets.
Wallet-based access to shareholder functions
The service brings Broadridge’s investor communications platform into a Web3-compatible setup. Investors will verify their identities through blockchain wallets, then use governance tools that are usually associated with direct share ownership in traditional markets. That includes casting proxy votes and reviewing corporate documents. For tokenized securities, this addresses a basic question that has followed the sector for years: how close a blockchain-based position can get to the rights attached to a conventional shareholding.
Broadridge is a longstanding provider of investor communications, proxy voting, and back-office technology for the financial industry. Proxy voting allows shareholders to vote in general meetings directly or assign those voting rights to another party. By plugging that infrastructure into Ondo-issued assets, the companies are linking onchain holdings with parts of the corporate process that tokenized products have often left out.
First rollout includes tokenized IVV and Micron shares
Ondo said the governance features will debut with its first US-custodied tokenized securities. The initial lineup includes tokenized versions of BlackRock’s iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) and Micron Technology (MU). The report describes these assets as among the first tokenized securities issued under the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s third-party custody framework.
Interest in tokenized stocks has been climbing as digital asset platforms try to connect traditional financial products with blockchain rails. Faster settlement and 24/7 trading are common selling points. Rights tied to governance and disclosures have been less settled. Ondo’s move is aimed at that gap, giving holders access to functions that reach beyond trading exposure alone.
Competition is building across tokenized equities
Ondo is one of several firms trying to expand in the segment. Backed Finance, which offers tokenized stocks through its xStocks platform, has recently pushed those products onto multiple crypto exchanges and blockchain networks. The market itself has been growing quickly. Company data cited in the report says the tokenized stock market has expanded by nearly 14x since May 2025. Separate data from Binance shows the total value of tokenized real-world assets, including stocks, has risen by about 600% over the past year.
A recent 21Shares report links that momentum to faster institutional adoption and stronger infrastructure. Going into 2026, tokenization is shaping up as one of the fastest-growing areas in crypto assets. Ondo’s latest step is less about adding another trading venue and more about bringing voting rights and document access into the structure of tokenized ownership.
