Dinari joins crypto lobby to influence U.S. tokenized stock rules

The Washington-based industry group announced the partnership on July 21, citing Dinari’s practical experience in building infrastructure that mirrors traditional market protections. Dinari, which operates the dShares platform, provides tokenized equities backed by assets held with licensed custodians. These tokens allow for cash dividends, corporate actions, and redemptions, functioning within a framework that includes SEC-registered broker-dealer and transfer agent subsidiaries.

CEO Gabriel Otte advocates for a model where tokenization complements, rather than replaces, existing financial regulations. By joining the association, the firm intends to help shape regulatory frameworks that preserve transparency and investor trust as more institutions enter the space. This push comes amidst intensifying competition from players like Robinhood and Coinbase, each employing distinct legal structures for their tokenized offerings. While some platforms utilize derivatives-based models, Dinari emphasizes its commitment to direct, 1:1-backed ownership.

Beyond lobbying, Dinari continues to expand its institutional footprint through the Dinari Financial Network. The system connects custodians, issuers, and broker-dealers to support 24/7 trading and stablecoin-based settlement. Having already collaborated with firms like VanEck, Gemini, and BitGo, the company is positioning its infrastructure as the standard for bringing traditional capital markets onto blockchain rails.
