Dinari and tZERO partner to provide infrastructure enabling broker-dealers to launch tokenized US equities.
Tech & Launches ·
Dinari and tZERO have formed a partnership to construct a unified operating framework for broker-dealers seeking to offer tokenized U.S. equities. The arrangement merges Dinari's dShares issuance technology with tZERO's regulated infrastructure spanning brokerage operations, custody, clearing, settlement and shareholder servicing, enabling firms to access tokenized stocks through a single integration point rather than cobbling together multiple vendors.
The partnership addresses a core friction point: broker-dealers entering tokenized securities must currently assemble compliance workflows across separate regulated providers. The combined offering bundles 24/7 trading, fractional investing capability, stablecoin-based settlement and dividend distribution, automated corporate action handling, multiple custody models and API access for brokers, fintechs, registered investment advisors and neobanks. Dinari's dShares operate through a custodial structure where each token maps to an underlying security held with licensed custodians, preserving investor rights including dividends, corporate actions and execution at national best bid-offer pricing.
The companies indicated plans to layer permissioned on-chain liquidity, collateral management and issuer-sponsored tokenization as the network scales. Broader industry competition in regulated tokenized securities has intensified, with market participants racing to bring traditional equities on-chain while maintaining investor protections and regulatory compliance.
