March 2026 ADV up 392% YOY, Highlighting the Rapid Adoption of Tokenized Settlement
NEW YORK, April 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: BR), global Fintech leader, today announced that its Distributed Ledger Repo (DLR) processed an average of $354 billion in daily repo transactions during March, with volumes totaling nearly $8 trillion. The daily average is a 392% increase year-over-year, building on the robust institutional adoption of tokenized real-asset settlement at scale and indicative of expanded use cases of tokenization activities.
“As use cases, participants, and volumes expand, DLR is playing a leading role in the future of repo and capital markets,” said Horacio Barakat, Global Head of Digital Innovation at Broadridge. “Broadridge is committed to extending its capabilities across digital trading, collateral, and settlement ecosystems to reduce operational friction and improve margins for participants.”
Broadridge’s latest whitepaper with Finadium found that intraday DLR can improve balance sheet efficiency for participants by reducing the need for external funding or redeploying capital for other business uses. The analysis uncovered that a 15% use of intraday DLR could reduce intraday liquidity buffer needs by 8-17%, proving the transformative potential of distributed ledger technology applications.
As tokenization gains momentum across financial services, Broadridge is meeting the complexity of operating across traditional and digital ecosystems with established scale, critical market knowledge, and technological expertise.
