The collaboration aims to provide broker-dealers with a regulated framework for issuing and trading blockchain-based stocks.
Tokenization firms Dinari and tZERO have partnered to develop a turnkey platform for tokenized U.S. equities, targeting broker-dealers. The platform will integrate issuance, trading, custody, settlement, and shareholder servicing into a single regulated framework, simplifying adoption for financial firms.
The move follows growing interest in blockchain-based equities as firms explore how to structure and distribute tokenized assets. Tokenized U.S. Treasury funds previously set a precedent for institutional adoption of real-world assets on blockchain networks.
Dinari CEO Gabriel Otte stated that mainstream adoption of tokenized equities depends on seamless integration into broker-dealer operations. The partnership addresses infrastructure challenges that have slowed broader market participation.
