Global Fintech leader, Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., in collaboration with The ValueExchange, ISSA, Accenture, and Taurus, today released the sixth annual DLT in the Real World report, a comprehensive study tracking the adoption of distributed ledger technology (DLT) and digital assets across global financial markets. Drawing on insights from investors, banks, brokers, and market operators worldwide, the 2025 study highlights a shift in priorities across the buy side, in which both DLT and digital assets are gaining momentum and operational significance.

"Digital asset adoption is no longer theoretical but operational. After five years of tracking this space, we are at a clear inflection point," said Horacio Barakat, Head of Digital Innovation at Broadridge. "DLT adoption continues to accelerate, and an increasing number of firms are transitioning from pilot projects to live deployments. We are also seeing momentum move to the buy-side, as well as expanding use cases across issuance and custody. These developments underscore the need for scalable infrastructure to support the next phase of market transformation and Broadridge is proud to be leading the way. Broadridge's Distributed Ledger Repo platform processed more than $280 billion in average daily repo transactions during the month of August, up from $45 billion a year ago."
