Dinari launches dShares on Avalanche C-Chain for 24/7 US market access

Buying Apple stock at 2 AM on a Sunday used to be impossible. Dinari is betting that blockchain can change that, and it just built an entire financial network to prove it.

The company launched the Dinari Financial Network on August 14, 2025, positioning it as the first Layer 1 designed specifically for omni-chain liquidity and settlement of tokenized US public securities. Built on Avalanche technology, the network enables trading of dShares, tokenized versions of US equities, around the clock in over 85 countries.

What dShares actually are

dShares are tokens issued on a 1:1 basis, backed by real underlying equities. Unlike synthetic products or derivatives that merely mimic price movements, dShares retain shareholder rights. That means dividends, corporate actions, and instant settlement, the same stuff you’d get from holding shares through a traditional brokerage.

The current lineup covers more than 150 US equities and ETFs, including AAPL, TSLA, and NVDA. If you’re sitting in one of 85+ countries and want exposure to the biggest names on US exchanges without navigating the often painful process of opening an American brokerage account, this is the pitch.

The compliance angle

The company operates as an SEC-registered transfer agent and is a member of FINRA. Being an SEC-registered transfer agent means Dinari is legally authorized to issue, cancel, and transfer securities. FINRA membership adds another layer of regulatory oversight.

This regulatory positioning is central to Dinari’s distribution strategy. The platform offers a plug-and-play API designed for fintech platforms, following a B2B2C model. Rather than building a consumer-facing trading app, Dinari is providing the infrastructure that other fintech companies can integrate into their own products.

Cross-chain expansion and what comes next

On November 20, 2025, Dinari announced a partnership with LayerZero to enable cross-chain movement of dShares across multiple networks. LayerZero is an interoperability protocol that allows different blockchains to communicate with each other. For dShares, this means tokens won’t be locked into a single chain.

Dinari did not launch any new tokens or governance tokens alongside the Avalanche deployment. No airdrop farming, no speculative token launch, no convoluted tokenomics. The focus remains squarely on the dShares product itself.

What this means for investors

For investors outside the United States, gaining exposure to US equities has traditionally involved foreign brokerage accounts, currency conversion headaches, and limited trading hours. dShares compress that entire process into a blockchain transaction available any time of day.

The risk side of the equation deserves attention too. Regulatory frameworks for tokenized securities are still evolving globally. While Dinari’s SEC registration and FINRA membership provide a solid foundation in the US, the legal status of these instruments in all 85+ countries where they’re available could vary significantly.
