The partnership aims to provide broker-dealers with a unified, regulated framework to launch, trade, custody, clear, settle, and service tokenized U.S. equities through a single network integration.

A dShare™ is a tokenized equity issued by Dinari Inc., backed by the corresponding underlying security held with licensed custodians, preserving all rights and protections of equity investing.

Capabilities include native 24/7 trading, fractional execution, stablecoin-enabled settlement and dividends, automated corporate actions, flexible custody models (omnibus or self-custody), API connectivity, and future support for DeFi-compatible programs and issuer-sponsored dShares™.

Gabriel Otte, Co-Founder and CEO of Dinari Inc., emphasized that tokenized equities need to be as easy for broker-dealers to offer as traditional securities. Alan Konevsky, Chairman and CEO of tZERO, highlighted the need for turnkey regulated infrastructure and operational simplicity.

Investors can gain access to tokenized equities that pass through cash dividends, best trade execution at NBBO, automated corporate actions, and a direct claim on backing securities, enabling them to do more with their stocks.

Future capabilities include compliant permissioned on-chain liquidity, collateral, financing, and other DeFi-compatible programs, as well as issuer-sponsored dShares™ programs to expand distribution and shareholder engagement.

Dinari's custodial model ensures each dShare™ is backed by the underlying security held with licensed custodians, preserving traditional equity rights and protections, unlike non-custodial tokenization that may lack direct claims on underlying assets.

It provides a practical, regulated path for broker-dealers to offer tokenized equities with operational simplicity and attractive economics, integrating issuance, trading, custody, and servicing through a single network.

The partnership was announced on July 8, 2026.

Dinari Inc. is based in San Mateo, CA, and tZERO Group, Inc. is based in New York, NY.
