Dinari and tZERO Partner to Streamline Tokenized U.S. Equity Offerings for Broker-Dealers

Dinari Inc., the pioneer of custodial tokenized U.S. public equities, has announced a strategic partnership with tZERO Group, Inc., a leader in regulated blockchain-based financial infrastructure. The collaboration aims to create an operating framework that enables broker-dealers to offer tokenized U.S. equities through a single integration, combining Dinari's dShares technology with tZERO's regulated brokerage, custody, clearing, settlement, and shareholder servicing capabilities.

According to Gabriel Otte, Co-Founder and CEO of Dinari Inc., "Tokenized equities won't reach mainstream adoption until broker-dealers can offer them as naturally as they offer traditional securities." The partnership is designed to simplify the launch and scaling of tokenized equity offerings, providing the infrastructure for new products and services built on tokenized securities. Each dShare is backed by the corresponding underlying security held with licensed custodians, preserving rights such as cash dividends, best trade execution, and a direct claim on backing securities.

Alan Konevsky, Chairman and CEO of tZERO, emphasized the need for turnkey regulated infrastructure: "Broker-dealers want more than tokenized assets – they need turnkey regulated infrastructure, operational simplicity, and economics that make adoption worthwhile." The collaboration will support capabilities including native 24/7 trading, fractional execution for dollar-based investing, stablecoin-enabled settlement, automated corporate actions, and flexible custody models. It also offers API connectivity for fintechs, RIAs, and neobanks.

The partnership marks a step toward Dinari's vision for the dShares Financial Network, which connects broker-dealers, exchanges, issuers, and custodians. As the network expands, participating firms are expected to benefit from broader distribution, deeper liquidity, and more efficient post-trade workflows.
