Dinari expanded its dShares platform to the Avalanche C-Chain between June 11 and June 12, 2026, enabling eligible non-US investors to trade over 350 tokenized US securities. This infrastructure move aims to provide 24/7 access to American stocks, ETFs, and REITs for users across 85 countries.
Why it matters
The platform seeks to remove traditional geographic and market-hour barriers by allowing international investors to trade US-based assets outside of standard trading sessions. Each tokenized asset is backed 1:1 by securities held in regulated custody, ensuring that holders retain rights to dividends and corporate actions.
