LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., April 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: BR), J.P. Morgan, Northern Trust and Banco Santander today announced the successful completion of a pilot which employs a blockchain technology to enhance global proxy vote transparency and analytics.

The pilot, Broadridge's first application of blockchain technology, provides transparency by adapting distributed ledger technology capabilities to provide daily insight into vote progress throughout the issuer's proxy voting period, from meeting announcement date to the annual general meeting. The application ensures role-based access to voting data through use of cryptography and smart contract technology and is built on an Ethereum blockchain platform.

"This pilot demonstrates Broadridge's commitment to developing innovative technology solutions to enhance transparency in the global proxy voting process for the mutual benefit of all stakeholders, ultimately improving corporate governance for all," said Vijay Mayadas, Senior Vice President and Global Head of Corporate Strategy at Broadridge. "We believe blockchain will drive increased quality and efficiency in the voting chain by reducing complexity that exists within the process today," he added.

"We are pleased to partner with Broadridge in undertaking this innovative endeavor as we explore the use of blockchain to drive efficiencies across the custody space," said Chris Rowland, Global Head of Custody at J.P. Morgan.

"Corporate Governance is a key focus for our custody clients and we are pleased to collaborate with Broadridge on this important initiative,'' said Justin Chapman, Global Head of Market Advocacy & Innovation Research at Northern Trust. ''Providing end-to-end vote transparency using blockchain as an enabler has the potential to significantly improve the proxy voting process."

Julio Faura, head of the Blockchain Lab at Banco Santander, said, "After piloting this blockchain-based platform with Broadridge, we see that proxy voting makes an interesting case where distributed ledgers and smart contracts can add transparency and efficiency to financial services, to the benefit of our corporate and institutional clients."

"The success of this pilot program reflects Broadridge's unique ability to leverage our domain expertise and deliver blockchain innovation to all industry participants," said Patricia Rosch, senior executive managing Broadridge's international proxy business.

The pilot was run in support of a corporate issuer's annual general meeting (AGM) and included participation of Santander Investment, the issuer's agent. The pilot was run in parallel of the AGM, with the blockchain being utilized to produce a "shadow" digital register of the proxy voting taking place in the traditional model.

april fool joke. lol

Good one......but the last sentence reveals itself!

Yeah me too.
I'm thinking to cash in half my profits around USD 14 level, if the bull run holds out.

Nice nice. ETH getting more and more juicy everyday!

Nice one! Segwit LTC at 73.1%.

Anyway, I cannot control my obsession, yesterday bought XPM, today bought voxel.

Just an update....

And my personal opinion from technical analysis as well....

Bitcoin is very near toward testing its previous high...

If it breach 1250.....

There will be more upside rally and will push the price towards 1300-1350 Price level...

Those already holding ltc rejoice...

Those trying to reenter hold 1st...

Make sure vote very near at least 74.5% onwards 😅

I enter previously when 72%.... it drop back again to 68%...

Price also drop back from 12.xxusd to 10.xx usd

Hope it reaches 75% this time. However, it apparently has to be over 75% for 2 weeks before segwit kicks in.

BTC is so high, I don't feel like buying....

News update : LTC going for ATH and the moon!

But consider it this way......if the bull run goes on and it slowly makes its way to USD 1500, then USD 1230 now would seem really cheap.

I have a bunch of LTC from below USD 10, but I don't think this coin will actually go to the moon.
I'll be ecstatic if it does, of course......but right now, I think it's potential is less than USD 20.
Hope I'm wrong.

But if it goes to USD 1, then it is really expensive

Yeah, I doubt it can go really high. Already thought it was a dead coin initially.

Latest update : LTC segwit at 74.4%

Sorry, the USD 1 was talking about LTC. Misunderstood your statement

Anyway, LTC segwit has surpassed 75% . To me, a monumental step for cryptocurrencies and I think shows good tidings for what is to come. Now I'm thinking if bitcoin ever tries segwit, it would be a huge undertaking as it needs 95%??!!!?!?!

History lesson for the newbies, don't keep all your coins on exchanges.

http://www.coindesk.com/poloniex-loses-12-...-exchange-hack/

Yes, definitely.
All cryptocurrency intended for long term investment must be kept in hardware wallets, end of story.
Leave only what you need to trade in the near future on the exchanges.

That said, though, I think most of the smaller altcoins are not supported by any hardware wallets.
Limited options there.

Wow, green across the board.

Exciting to watch.
