Collaboration Brings Together the Market Capabilities Broker-Dealers Need to Launch, Trade, Custody, Clear, Settle, and Service Tokenized U.S. Equities Through a Single Network Integration

SAN MATEO, CA and NEW YORK, NY - July 8, 2026 (NEWMEDIAWIRE) - Dinari Inc., the pioneer of the custodial model of tokenized U.S. public equities, today announced a strategic partnership with tZERO Group, Inc., a leader in providing B2B and B2B2C partner institutions a regulated, end-to-end blockchain-based financial infrastructure. The partnership will bring together the core market capabilities required for broker-dealers to launch and operate tokenized equity offerings to their end customers through a single integration.

By combining dShares™ technology and blockchain-based servicing with tZERO’s regulated brokerage, custody, clearing, settlement, and shareholder servicing, Dinari Inc. and tZERO will offer a unified way for broker-dealers to seamlessly integrate tokenized U.S. equities offerings into their existing businesses.

"Tokenized equities won't reach mainstream adoption until broker-dealers can offer them as naturally as they offer traditional securities," said Gabriel Otte, Co-Founder and CEO of Dinari Inc. "By bringing together the critical components required to support tokenized equities, we're making it significantly easier for broker-dealers to launch and scale these offerings, and providing the rails for new products and services built on top of tokenized securities. The end goal is to enable investors to do more with their stocks."

Built on Dinari Inc.’s custodial model, each dShare™ is backed by the corresponding underlying security held with licensed custodians and preserves the rights, protections, and ownership associated with equity investing. This includes passing through all the features of investing in securities, including cash dividends, best trade execution at NBBO, automated corporate actions, and a direct claim on backing securities.

"Broker-dealers want more than tokenized assets – they need turnkey regulated infrastructure, operational simplicity, and economics that make adoption worthwhile," said Alan Konevsky, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of tZERO. "This collaboration is intended to provide a practical path for firms to participate in tokenized securities markets through a framework that combines issuance, trading, custody, clearing, settlement, and asset servicing built around proven products, known demand and developed market infrastructure that bridges traditional and DeFi ecosystems with trusted regulated trading and custody solutions that appeal to institutional users."

The collaboration will support broker-dealers with multiple capabilities, including:

• Native 24/7 trading for eligible tokenized equities across supported venues and integrations
• Native fractional execution designed to support dollar-based investing, automated rebalancing, and other modern portfolio workflows
• Stablecoin-enabled settlement and dividend processing
• Automated corporate actions, governance, proxy support, and shareholder communications
• Flexible custody models, including omnibus account structures and individual self-custody wallets
• API connectivity for broker-dealers, fintechs, RIAs, neobanks, and other financial platforms
• Future support for compliant, permissioned on-chain liquidity, collateral, financing, and other DeFi-compatible programs
• Future issuer-sponsored dShares™ programs designed to expand distribution and shareholder engagement
• Future support for permissioned on-chain financial services as the dShares™ Financial Network expands

The partnership marks an important step in Dinari Inc.’s broader vision for the dShares™ Financial Network, connecting broker-dealers, exchanges, issuers, custodians, and other regulated market participants through a shared market framework for tokenized securities. As the network expands, participating firms will benefit from broader distribution, deeper liquidity, more efficient post-trade workflows, and additional commercial opportunities across tokenized capital markets.
