September 2025 ADV up 650% Year–Over–Year,
Highlighting Rapid Growth in Tokenized Real–Asset Settlement
NEW YORK, Oct. 13, 2025 — Global Fintech leader Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: BR) today announced a surge in activity on its Distributed Ledger Repo (DLR) platform. The platform processed an average of $339 billion in daily repo transactions during September, marking a 21% increase over August’s $280 billion daily average and a remarkable 650% increase year-over-year. This surge underscores the accelerating adoption of tokenized real-asset settlement.
Broadridge’s DLR platform stands as the world’s largest institutional platform for settling tokenized real assets. This milestone signifies a major step forward in the evolution of repo markets, traditionally known for their reliance on legacy systems and manual processes. The DLR leverages distributed ledger technology (DLT) to create a more streamlined, efficient, and transparent environment for repurchase agreements.
The core innovation lies in the tokenization of assets. By representing securities as digital tokens on a blockchain, the DLR platform facilitates near real-time settlement, reducing counterparty risk and freeing up collateral for more productive use. Smart contracts automate key aspects of the repo lifecycle, from trade execution to collateral management, further enhancing operational efficiency and lowering costs. This interoperability allows seamless integration within both traditional and blockchain-based market infrastructures, addressing a key challenge in the broader adoption of DLT in finance.
“The significant growth in DLR activity reflects the growing institutional appetite for tokenized assets and the benefits of DLT in repo markets,” notes a CNBC analysis, citing increased collateral velocity and reduced trade processing costs as key drivers. “Broadridge’s platform is uniquely positioned to capitalize on this trend, given its existing relationships with major financial institutions and its commitment to innovation.”
Industry experts point to several factors driving this trend. First, the increasing regulatory clarity surrounding digital assets is providing institutions with greater confidence to invest in tokenized solutions. Second, the pressure to optimize capital efficiency and reduce operational costs is pushing firms to explore innovative technologies like DLT. Finally, the desire to access new liquidity pools and diversify funding sources is driving interest in tokenized real-asset repos.
Broadridge is focused on unlocking new opportunities across global capital markets as the industry moves toward bridging traditional and digital financial ecosystems.
