1. Distributed Ledger Repo Platform Processes Record Volumes
Broadridge’s Distributed Ledger Repo (DLR) platform achieved a milestone in December 2025, processing an average of $384 billion in daily repo transactions and totaling nearly $9 trillion for the month. This represents a 490 percent year-over-year increase in average daily volume and a 4 percent rise from November, highlighting rapid institutional adoption of tokenized real-asset settlement. The platform’s growth underscores its emergence as the largest institutional venue for blockchain-based repo processing, driven by the need for streamlined collateral mobility, reduced operational friction and enhanced resilience in global capital markets.
2. Strategic Investment in DeepSee to Extend AI Capabilities
On January 8, 2026, Broadridge announced a minority equity investment in DeepSee, a Utah-based leader in agentic AI, and named Tom Carey, President of Broadridge Global Technology and Operations, to DeepSee’s board. The partnership will deploy AI-powered email orchestration within post-trade workflows, converting traditional inboxes into automated, intelligent operations. Initial deployments in Broadridge’s Business Process Outsourcing unit—serving over 60 clients—have demonstrated faster response times, real-time SLA monitoring and proactive workload management. Broadridge’s move builds on its existing post-trade processing of over $15 trillion in daily trades and aligns with its strategy to embed AI across fails research, inventory optimization and client communications.
