Dinari is a Palo Alto-based fintech company founded in 2021 that builds a blockchain-powered platform for tokenized trading of U.S. public securities, including stocks and ETFs via its dShares product.[1][2][3] It serves neobanks, fintechs, and digital wealth platforms—primarily targeting international and underserved markets in regions like LATAM, MENA, and Southeast Asia—by solving cross-border access barriers to U.S. equities through compliant, real-time tokenization without requiring partners to build new infrastructure.[1][4][5] The platform enables fractional ownership, instant settlement, automated compliance, and integration with DeFi, while handling corporate actions like dividends; it has raised $22.65M total funding, including a $12.7M Series A in May 2025, fueling global expansion and institutional partnerships.[1][5]
Dinari's growth momentum includes live operations in 60+ countries, over 150 tokenized U.S. assets (e.g., SPY, TSLA, AAPL), SEC-registered infrastructure as a Registered Transfer Agent, and the launch of the Dinari Financial Network—an omni-chain orderbook on Avalanche for enhanced liquidity and protections.[1][4][5]
Dinari was founded in 2021 in Palo Alto, California, amid rising interest in real-world asset (RWA) tokenization to democratize access to U.S. markets for non-U.S. investors.[1][2][3] While specific founders are not detailed in available sources, the company emerged from the convergence of blockchain scalability (leveraging Avalanche) and regulatory hurdles in cross-border finance, aiming to bridge traditional equities with digital-native systems.[3][4][5] Early traction came via its B2B2C model, partnering with fintechs for API-based integrations, and securing initial investments starting in 2024 from F-Prime Capital.[3] A pivotal moment was the May 2025 Series A round ($12.7M, co-led by Hack VC and Blockchange Ventures, with VanEck, F-Prime, and Avalanche Fund), which accelerated tokenized asset expansion and positioned it as the largest tokenized U.S. public securities provider.[1][5]
Dinari rides the RWA tokenization trend, tokenizing U.S. equities to merge TradFi with DeFi, fueled by blockchain scalability on networks like Avalanche and demand for borderless investing.[3][4][5] Timing aligns with post-2024 crypto regulatory clarity and Avalanche's institutional tools, enabling compliant global access amid rising neobank adoption in emerging markets.[1][5] Market forces favoring it include underserved non-U.S. investors (billions excluded from U.S. stocks due to costs/regulations) and fintechs seeking embedded finance without risk.[1][4] It influences the ecosystem by pioneering programmable equities—powering DeFi apps, stablecoin trades, and new capital markets—while partners like neobanks gain competitive edges in wealth management.[2][5]
Dinari is poised to scale as the go-to RWA gateway for U.S. equities, with next steps including deeper institutional integrations, multi-chain expansions, and dShares growth beyond 150 assets to capture rising global DeFi demand.[1][5] Trends like AI-driven compliance, omni-chain liquidity, and tokenized funds will shape its path, potentially evolving it into a full global capital markets hub. As tokenized stock trading matures, Dinari's compliance-first edge could redefine equity access, bridging Dinari's tokenized vision from niche fintech tool to mainstream investing infrastructure.[5]
