🚨LATEST: AVALANCHE LANDS BROADRIDGE DEAL AS $8T GIANT MOVES SHAREHOLDER VOTES ON-CHAIN
Broadridge Financial Solutions, one of Wall Street's most powerful technology firms, has chosen Avalanche (@avax) to host its new on-chain proxy voting infrastructure.
The platform, which already handles $8 trillion in tokenized assets monthly, will now allow broker-dealers, wealth managers, and retail investors to vote on corporate matters directly on a public blockchain.
Galaxy will be the first U.S. public company to put its shareholder vote on-chain, starting with its May annual meeting.
Broadridge says the move is designed to support the large-scale adoption of digital assets as tokenization sweeps across global finance.
The announcement marks one of the most significant real-world institutional deployments on Avalanche to date.
🚨SOLANA ACCELERATES MULTI-CHAIN LISTINGS
Solana listed four non-native assets in 24 hours: FUN, LIT, STRK, and ZORA, adding to recent L1 token launches.
The rapid expansion signals Solana’s push towards being an onchain alternative to CEXs.
