How Dinari and Avalanche built the infrastructure for compliant tokenized equities while expanding access to more than 350 tokenized U.S. equities across the Avalanche ecosystem.
When Dinari set out to bring U.S. equities onchain, the goal was never simply to tokenize stocks. The vision was to build the foundation for a more accessible, programmable, and globally connected capital market while preserving the investor protections that have made U.S. markets the global standard.
Achieving that vision required more than issuing tokenized assets. It required infrastructure capable of supporting compliant issuance, settlement, interoperability, and distribution at scale.
Avalanche became a key technology partner in bringing that vision to life.
Together, Dinari and Avalanche have built purpose-designed infrastructure for tokenized securities while expanding access to more than 350 tokenized U.S. equities through dShares™, Dinari's tokenized equities platform, across one of blockchain's leading real-world asset ecosystems. The partnership demonstrates how blockchain infrastructure and regulated financial assets can evolve together to support the next generation of onchain capital markets.
One of the biggest challenges facing tokenized equities has never been tokenization itself. It's the infrastructure that supports it.
While tokenized assets have continued to gain traction, many have remained siloed across individual blockchain ecosystems, resulting in fragmented liquidity, inconsistent settlement, and limited interoperability between applications. At the same time, financial institutions entering the space expect infrastructure that meets the operational standards, transparency, and investor protections associated with traditional capital markets.
Rather than adapting infrastructure originally built for cryptocurrencies, Dinari chose to build an environment specifically designed for regulated securities.
Powered by Avalanche, Dinari launched a dedicated Layer 1 network that serves as a coordination layer for tokenized equities across its growing partner ecosystem. The network was designed to support compliant settlement, unify liquidity across blockchain environments, and provide institutional-grade infrastructure capable of supporting a new generation of tokenized financial assets.
The network also introduced a consortium-based approach to governance, with industry leaders including Gemini, BitGo, and VanEck participating as initial validators and infrastructure partners. Their involvement reflected a broader vision of creating neutral market infrastructure that could support an expanding network of issuers, distributors, custodians, and financial institutions.
Rather than treating blockchain networks as isolated markets, the architecture established a foundation for tokenized equities to move across ecosystems while maintaining consistent standards for issuance, settlement, and compliance.
That foundation also created the opportunity to bring tokenized equities directly into Avalanche's broader ecosystem.
Building the infrastructure was only part of the vision. Equally important was making tokenized U.S. equities readily accessible to investors, developers, and financial applications already building on Avalanche.
Dinari expanded its full catalog of more than 350 tokenized U.S. equities, including stocks, ETFs, and REITs, to Avalanche C-Chain through dShares™. The launch made these assets available to eligible investors outside the United States through the Dinari Trading App while opening the door for deeper integration across the Avalanche ecosystem.
The expansion also included SpaceX, giving the Avalanche community access to one of the most anticipated public market debuts through Dinari's custodial tokenization model. It demonstrated how regulated tokenized securities can be brought onchain as major market events unfold, while maintaining the standards expected of traditional financial markets.
Unlike tokenized stock products that provide only synthetic or derivative exposure, dShares™ are built on Dinari's custodial model of tokenization. Each dShare™ is backed 1:1 by a corresponding U.S. security held through regulated custody, preserving key shareholder protections, including cash dividends, corporate actions, redemption rights, and a protected claim to the backing security. This model combines the protections of traditional equity ownership with the speed, programmability, and interoperability of blockchain infrastructure.
For Dinari, the expansion represented more than support for another blockchain. It demonstrated how purpose-built infrastructure can translate into meaningful adoption by making regulated U.S. capital markets more accessible through an established onchain ecosystem.
Avalanche's architecture made it a natural fit for Dinari's long-term vision.
Its high throughput, fast transaction finality, and flexible architecture provide the performance characteristics required for financial markets while allowing developers to build specialized infrastructure for regulated assets. At the same time, Avalanche has established itself as one of the leading ecosystems for tokenized real-world assets, creating an environment where tokenized equities can integrate alongside other institutional-grade financial products rather than existing in isolation.
The partnership allowed Dinari to pursue two complementary objectives simultaneously. First, to build dedicated infrastructure designed specifically for compliant tokenized securities. Second, to make tokenized U.S. equities broadly accessible through Avalanche's existing ecosystem of wallets, applications, exchanges, and developers.
This combination of infrastructure and distribution continues to strengthen Avalanche's position as a leading destination for tokenized real-world assets while expanding global access to U.S. capital markets.
The partnership between Dinari and Avalanche demonstrates that bringing capital markets onchain requires more than tokenizing assets. It requires infrastructure intentionally designed for regulated financial markets.
By combining Avalanche's high-performance blockchain architecture with Dinari's custodial model of tokenization, the partnership has created a foundation that supports both institutional requirements and blockchain-native innovation. Developers can build with tokenized equities more easily, investors have broader access to regulated U.S. securities, and financial institutions have infrastructure designed to bridge traditional capital markets with modern digital asset networks.
As tokenized equities continue moving toward mainstream adoption, partnerships like this will help shape how capital markets evolve. Together, Dinari and Avalanche are demonstrating that regulated financial assets can become programmable, interoperable, and globally accessible without compromising the protections that investors expect.
