Dinari, a fintech and blockchain platform, has partnered with tZERO Group, a provider of end-to-end blockchain-based financial infrastructure, in a move intended to bring together market capabilities that will enable broker-dealers to launch and operate tokenised equity offerings.
dShares, Dinari’s platform for transforming TradFi US stocks and ETFs into digital tokens, will be combined with tZERO’s regulated brokerage, custody, clearing, settlement, and shareholder servicing, in a bid to offer broker-dealers a unified method to integrate tokenised US equities offerings into their existing business.
The collaboration is said to support broker-dealers with operational capabilities, including 24/7 trading for eligible tokenised equities across supported venues; fractional execution designed for a range of portfolio workflows; stablecoin-enabled settlement and dividend processing; flexible custody models; and API connectivity for broker-dealers, fintechs, registered investment advisers, and neobanks, among others.
Commenting on the partnership, Alan Konevsky, chairman and CEO of tZERO, says: “Broker-dealers want more than tokenised assets – they need turnkey regulated infrastructure, operational simplicity, and economics that make adoption worthwhile.”
Konevsky adds that the collaboration is “intended to provide a practical path for firms to participate in tokenised securities markets through a framework that combines issuance, trading, custody, clearing, settlement, and asset servicing built around proven products”.
