Dinari is introducing a new approach that allows dShares™ to move throughout DeFi without permanently giving up the investor protections associated with stock ownership. By enabling dShares™ to operate across both regulated and permissionless environments, we're helping bridge the gap between traditional finance and DeFi.
Tokenized equities have historically forced investors to make a tradeoff.
On one side are tokenized securities that preserve the rights and protections associated with traditional equity ownership, including dividends, corporate actions, and a claim on backing securities. On the other hand are freely transferable tokens that can move throughout DeFi that sacrifice the rights that make stock investing valuable in the first place.
Until now, investors have largely had to choose between the two.
Today, Dinari is introducing a new approach that allows dShares™ to operate across both regulated and permissionless environments without forcing tokenholders to choose one or the other.
By default, dShares™ operate within Dinari's investor-first framework. Each dShare™ is backed by a security held with licensed custodians and is designed to preserve the core rights associated with that security, including cash dividends, the right to redeem at NBBO, a claim on backing securities, and fully-automated corporate actions. The provision of certain of these rights requires “Know Your Customer” (KYC) information.
So what happens when a tokenholder wants to interact with DeFi? Dinari’s dShares™ can move freely outside of KYC-enabled environments, supporting transfers, marketplaces, and applications. But during this time certain rights associated with the security become restricted. The dShare™ will continue to represent core corporate actions, but dividends, the ability to transact at NBBO, and the claim are suspended.
What if a tokenholder decides they want those features? If the wallet holding the dShares™ is KYC’ed with Dinari or a partner, those rights are automatically restored with no additional effort by the tokenholder.
The result is a tokenized equity that can participate in both regulated and permissionless environments, giving investors greater flexibility without sacrificing the core features that make dShares™so unique and useful to investors.
The growth of tokenized equities has highlighted a fundamental challenge.
Investors want access to the liquidity, programmability, and composability of onchain markets. At the same time, they want the protections, transparency, and ownership framework that underpin traditional securities.
Historically, most solutions have required investors to choose between those benefits.
Dinari's approach is designed to eliminate that tradeoff.
By allowing dShares™ to participate across a broader range of onchain environments while maintaining a pathway back to regulated ownership, investors can unlock new use cases without permanently separating an asset from the security it represents.
This can create new opportunities for trading, lending, collateralization, and portfolio construction while preserving a clear connection to the underlying asset.
The future of tokenized equities will not be defined by choosing between traditional finance and decentralized finance.
It will be defined by connecting them.
As tokenized equities mature, investors should not have to choose between ownership rights and onchain utility. They should be able to access both.
This update represents an important step toward that future, enabling dShares™ to participate more broadly across onchain markets while maintaining a connection to the underlying securities that give them value.
Own the asset. Use it anywhere.
