Dinari becomes the first platform to let U.S. investors trade over 700 tokenized S&P 500 stocks in self‑custody wallets, partnering with Circle to bridge traditional equities and crypto.
Dinari has become the first platform to enable U.S. investors to trade more than 700 tokenized S&P 500 stocks directly from self‑custody wallets, using USDC as the settlement currency.
How the service works
Investors can purchase tokenized shares of S&P 500 constituents on Dinari’s platform, which are minted on a public blockchain and backed 1:1 by the underlying equities held in custody. The tokens are settled in USDC, allowing seamless movement between traditional finance and crypto wallets without the need for a broker‑depository relationship.
Partnership with Circle
Dinari’s offering is powered by a partnership with Circle, the issuer of USDC. Circle provides the fiat‑backed stablecoin infrastructure and ensures regulatory compliance for the settlement layer, while Dinari handles the tokenization and custody of the equity assets.
Benefits for U.S. investors
The tokenized model gives investors instant access to a diversified basket of large‑cap U.S. stocks, fractional ownership, and 24/7 trading on a blockchain network. Because the tokens reside in self‑custody wallets, users retain full control over their assets, reducing reliance on traditional brokerage accounts.
- Instant settlement via USDC
- Fractional share purchases
- 24/7 market access
- Direct custody of tokens
Regulatory considerations
Dinari operates under U.S. securities regulations, with the underlying equities held by a qualified custodian. The tokenized shares are classified as securities tokens, and the platform conducts KYC/AML checks on all participants to meet compliance requirements.
