Dinari Raises $12.7M Series A for Tokenized Stock Trading

May 1, 2025 – Dinari, a leading fintech platform tokenizing real-world assets, today announced a $12.7 million Series A funding round led by Hack VC and Blockchange Ventures. This latest investment brings Dinari's total funding to $22.65 million and will fuel the company's mission to provide seamless access to tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs for investors worldwide. VanEck Ventures, F-Prime, the Avalanche Fund, Blizzard Fund, GSR Ventures, and Arete Capital also participated in the round, solidifying Dinari's position at the forefront of the rapidly growing real-world asset (RWA) tokenization movement.

Dinari's innovative platform leverages blockchain technology to fractionalize ownership of traditional financial assets, enabling investors outside the U.S. to access the U.S. equities market with unprecedented ease. Through its proprietary dShares, ERC-20 tokens representing ownership of underlying shares, Dinari bridges the gap between traditional finance and the decentralized world. Each dShare is backed 1:1 by real shares of U.S. stocks and ETFs, held securely by Dinari, ensuring transparency and trust.

"For too long, access to the U.S. equities market has been limited by geographical boundaries and complex regulatory hurdles," said Chas Rampenthal, Chief Legal Officer at Dinari. "Our platform democratizes this access, offering a simple, secure, and cost-effective way for global investors to participate in the world's largest stock market."

Key features of the Dinari platform:

dShares for 100+ U.S. stocks and ETFs: Including popular tickers like SPY, TSLA, AAPL, and more.

Single API Integration: Easy integration for businesses to offer tokenized assets to their customers.

Built-in Compliance and Settlement: Streamlined processes for regulatory compliance and efficient settlement.

SEC-Registered Infrastructure: Operating within a robust and regulated framework.

Global Reach: Serving users in over 60 countries.

Transparent Blockchain Transactions: Immutable proof of ownership and transaction history.

Composability with Other Blockchain Products: Integration with existing DeFi ecosystems.

Instant Settlement: Faster and more efficient than traditional settlement processes.

Dinari has seen significant demand for its services from Latin America, Africa, and Southeast Asia, where access to U.S. equities is often limited. The new funding will be used to expand into new markets, enhance compliance infrastructure, and further develop the platform's capabilities. The company is currently generating revenue and experiencing rapid growth, with over 25,000 customers and 10,000 transactions processed.

"Dinari is transforming the way global investors access U.S. equities," said Ed Roman, Managing Partner at Hack VC. "Their innovative approach to tokenization, combined with a strong focus on compliance and security, positions them for continued success in this exciting market."
