Dinari Opens Tokenized S&P 500 Trading to Eligible US Investors

TLDR

• Dinari opens every S&P 500 stock to eligible US users through regulated dShares.

• Users can buy tokenized shares from self-custody wallets funded directly with USDC.

• Each dShare is backed one-to-one by stock held securely with a regulated custodian.

• Tokenized stocks trade across Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base and Avalanche networks.

• Dinari supports dividends, voting rights and corporate actions through USDC.

Dinari has opened tokenized access to every S&P 500 company for eligible users across the United States. The launch lets users buy blockchain-based shares through self-custody wallets funded with USDC. A regulated custodian holds one underlying security for each token.

Tokenized shares replace traditional brokerage access

Dinari offers 724 tokenized stocks, including every constituent of the S&P 500 index. Eligible users can trade those assets directly from compatible wallets without opening conventional brokerage accounts. The service currently operates across Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base and Avalanche.

Support for Solana and Sei will follow as the platform expands its blockchain coverage. Meanwhile, the wallet-first model allows users to fund accounts with Circle’s USDC stablecoin. The structure links stablecoin payments with regulated exposure to publicly traded American companies.

Dinari calls the securities dShares and backs each token with an actual underlying stock. Holders receive dividends, voting rights, redemptions, and other corporate actions connected to those shares. The platform distributes cash dividends in USDC and records ownership through blockchain infrastructure.

USDC supports settlement and dividend payments

Dinari uses USDC for account funding, trade settlement, and dividend distribution across its equity service. The company developed the system with Circle and several wallet infrastructure providers. Privy, Para, and Monaco support parts of the access and transaction process.

Blockchain settlement can move tokenized portfolios faster than standard market systems. Users can also transfer supported assets between compatible platforms instead of remaining inside one brokerage network. However, each transfer must meet applicable eligibility, compliance, and custody rules.

The company operates through a registered broker-dealer and an SEC-registered transfer agent. Its broker-dealer subsidiary also belongs to FINRA and SIPC. That structure supports regulated tokenized equity trading within the United States.

Competition grows across tokenized equity markets

Dinari enters a market that has expanded rapidly as financial firms test blockchain-based securities. An a16z crypto report valued tokenized stocks near $1.7 billion at the end of June. The report estimated growth of about 600% as more platforms introduced digital versions of traditional shares.

Robinhood and Kraken-linked Payward already provide tokenized stock products outside the United States. Ondo Finance has also proposed a regulated framework linked to public equities and exchange-traded funds. However, that product does not yet serve eligible users inside the country.

Dinari already operates across 85 jurisdictions and supports more than 6,000 active tokenized assets. It launched the Dinari Financial Network to connect issuers, custodians, exchanges, and transfer agents. The S&P 500 rollout now extends that regulated infrastructure directly to eligible US users.
