Broadridge is extending its Distributed Ledger Repo (DLR) platform beyond tokenised US Treasury collateral into G7 securities. Until now, DLR has supported tokenised US Treasury collateral for repo, intraday repo transactions and collateral pledges.
The platform is already processing large repo volumes. In August 2026, Broadridge said DLR handled an average of $351 billion in daily repo transactions, totalling $7.4 trillion for the month, with thousands of transactions running through the network each day.
G7 securities will broaden the range of eligible collateral that participating firms can use across markets, currencies and jurisdictions.
From US Treasuries to Cross-Border Collateral
Broadridge describes DLR as a live infrastructure framework embedded in existing trading and post-trade workflows. The platform uses a permissioned distributed ledger and smart contracts to synchronise the movement of tokenised securities and cash.
DLR is designed to replace fragmented messaging, reconciliation, manual processing, and internal record-keeping around traditional repo activity with a shared, synchronised workflow.
The system automates the repo transaction lifecycle, including real-time updates, a common record of the trade, and visibility into collateral and settlement status.
Broadridge links the G7 securities expansion to cross-border repo transactions, intraday repo activity and collateral movements through atomic settlement.
Horacio Barakat, Global Head of Digital Innovation at Broadridge, said DLR is already “proven market infrastructure operating at scale today”.
He added that bringing G7 securities into the network gives market participants a practical route to stronger liquidity, capital efficiency and lower operational friction.
Volumes Have Already Scaled
The G7 securities expansion follows earlier growth in DLR activity. Finance Magnates reported in May that Broadridge’s distributed ledger-based repo platform processed an average of $368 billion in daily transactions in April 2026, taking monthly volume to nearly $8 trillion.
At the time, daily average activity was up 268% year on year and almost 4% higher than in March. The August figures show that DLR remained close to that scale several months later, with $351 billion in average daily repo transactions.
Broadridge also said aggregated DLR market data, including repo par value, turnover and trade count, is available to Bloomberg Terminal subscribers through its collaboration with Kaiko.
The company said this gives users more visibility into institutional on-chain repo activity alongside established fixed-income market data. The latest announcement therefore extends the collateral perimeter of an already active repo network.
However, the term “G7 securities” remains broad. Broadridge did not specify which securities it will accept, which G7 markets it supports from day one, or the eligibility criteria for collateral entering the network.
