Broadridge Financial Solutions said its Distributed Ledger Repo platform processed nearly $9 trillion in transactions in December, with the company noting a sharp acceleration in institutional adoption of tokenised settlement.
The fintech group reported an average of $384 billion in daily repo activity on the platform during the month, up 490 percent on the year and 4 percent higher than in November.
Horacio Barakat, Head of Digital Innovation at Broadridge, believes platforms such as DLR had “scaled tokenized repo settlement from early adoption to institutional reality,” adding that 2025 was “a breakout year” for the system.
He said the company expects wider participation, more use cases and higher volumes in 2026.
Broadridge said the surge in activity reflects growing demand for more efficient repo processing, improved collateral mobility and reduced operational friction across capital markets.
As tokenisation advances, the company said institutions are increasingly prioritising established platforms that can operate at scale within regulated environments.
The firm added that broader adoption would deepen integration between traditional and blockchain-based infrastructure, supporting the shift toward more automated and transparent settlement.
Broadridge remains focused on helping clients bridge digital and traditional systems as the market for tokenised assets matures.
The company describes DLR as the world’s largest institutional platform for settling tokenised real-asset transactions and said it expects continued momentum through 2026.
