•• Exchanges: Tokenized Assets: Coming Soon to a Venue Near You, 5/21/26. The DTCC has been BCI, US

authorized to tokenize real-world assets, and the exchanges are developing tokenized trading

capabilities. While we see several benefits from this type of upgrade, we think more

meaningful uplift in volumes could come from expanded global trading hours than

tokenization itself.

•• LPL: April Metrics, 5/21/26. Cash balances were down 6%/$3.6B m/m, declining less than the

~$4.5B indicated on the Q1 call, and organic net new asset growth was ~1.6% annualized,

slightly ahead of prior management commentary, and below the average April historically.
