Broadridge Expands Tokenized Repo Platform to G7 Securities

Broadridge Financial Solutions announced on September 2 that it has expanded its Distributed Ledger Repo (DLR) platform to support G7 securities. According to the company, the expansion enables international market participants to conduct cross-border repo transactions, intraday repo activity and collateral movements through atomic settlement. Broadridge presents the service as live infrastructure rather than a proposed product.

The repo market is one of the largest sources of short-term secured funding in global capital markets, and its traditional settlement chain typically involves multiple intermediaries across custodians, clearing banks and payment systems. Cross-border trades in particular can carry timing gaps between the movement of cash and collateral, the type of settlement risk that atomic, simultaneous transfer of both legs is designed to address.

G7 Securities Broaden Eligible Collateral

The DLR platform previously supported tokenized U.S. Treasury collateral for repo transactions, intraday repo and collateral pledges. Adding securities from G7 markets widens the range of assets that participating firms can mobilize across currencies and jurisdictions. The system synchronizes transfers of tokenized securities and cash in a single coordinated transaction, which Broadridge says can reduce settlement risk and operational friction.

The development extends institutional tokenization beyond issuance into financing and collateral workflows. BlockchainReporter has also covered ICE and tZERO's work on tokenized securities infrastructure, although that initiative focuses on issuance and trading rather than repo settlement.

Broadridge Reports $7.4 Trillion in August Activity

The company reported that DLR processed an average of $351 billion in repo transactions per day during August 2026, totaling $7.4 trillion for the month. Broadridge said thousands of transactions run through the network daily. These figures reflect company-reported platform activity and do not represent the value of newly added G7 collateral.

Aggregated DLR data covering repo par value, turnover and trade count is also available to Bloomberg Terminal subscribers through a Broadridge collaboration with Kaiko. That reporting layer gives institutional users an additional view of activity occurring on the distributed-ledger platform.

The Expansion Targets Cross-Border Financing

Broadridge said the broader collateral set is intended to help firms manage funding, liquidity and high-quality securities across markets. The practical test will be whether participants use the expanded eligibility for cross-border transactions at the scale already reported for the U.S.-focused network. Notably, the announcement did not name specific G7-market participants, which will bear on how quickly adoption beyond U.S. Treasury collateral can be assessed.

The update fits into a wider effort to bring capital-markets operations onto shared ledgers. For comparison, BlockchainReporter previously examined Canton Network's institutional transaction activity. Broadridge's latest step is narrower in scope: it extends the collateral reach of an existing repo platform without announcing individual G7 participants or a separate blockchain token for investors.
