Broadridge Financial Solutions' DLR Posts 508% YoY Surge to $365B Average Daily Tokenized Repo

Broadridge’s DLR posts surge in tokenized repo volumes

DLR expands into intraday and sponsored repo use cases

Broadridge Financial Solutions says its Distributed Ledger Repo (DLR) platform is processing an average daily volume of $365 billion in repurchase agreement transactions in January 2026, with total monthly volumes of $7.3 trillion — a 508% year‑over‑year increase versus January 2025. The company frames the growth as evidence of sustained institutional adoption of tokenized settlement for high‑quality collateral after a breakout year for the platform.

Broadridge is pushing DLR beyond foundational end‑of‑day repo workflows into sponsored and intraday repo, as well as other complex institutional applications. The platform is enabling more efficient movement of collateral throughout the trading day, which Broadridge says supports greater precision in liquidity management, reduces financing costs and improves liquidity across the securities‑lending market.

Horacio Barakat, Broadridge’s head of digital innovation, says 2026 priorities include scaling intraday funding, enhancing collateral mobility and broadening the range of tokenized asset classes while preserving interoperability and resilience. Broadridge presents DLR as trusted infrastructure that connects traditional and digital ecosystems and anticipates further product development and geographic expansion to meet client demand for interoperable tokenization infrastructure.

Infrastructure scale and market connectivity

Broadridge situates DLR within broader company platforms that process and generate more than 7 billion customer communications annually and underpin a daily average of over $15 trillion in trading across equities, fixed income and other securities. The firm positions DLR as a commercial, scalable solution designed to unlock new operational efficiencies and interoperate with existing post‑trade systems used by global custodians, dealers and asset managers.

Company outlook and positioning

Broadridge, an S&P 500 constituent with over 15,000 employees in 21 countries and a certified Great Place to Work®, releases the announcement via PRNewswire and directs media to its corporate channels. The company says DLR’s rapid volume growth and expanded use cases reflect institutional confidence and that it expects continued scaling and new product rollouts through 2026 as tokenization gains traction across markets and asset types.
