"Tokenization doesn't change the nature of the security itself." The SEC's Innovation Exemption confirmed the lines we've built around for years. Same rights as the share. dShares™ are stocks. Our CEO @GabeOtte on @DefiantNews earlier.

This innovation exemption is basically best case scenario for us: it expressly allows third-party tokenization, excludes synthetics, and seems almost written for the dShares model: real shares held in custody with the economic and ownership rights represented onchain. It gives us a path to make dShares actually transferable in the U.S. without changing the core model we already built. There are issuer opt-outs and volume/name caps, but those feel like launch constraints, not structural problems.
🚨 TODAY: The SEC issued an order granting temporary, conditional exemptive relief to Tokenized Securities Venues from the definition of “exchange” in the Exchange Act to trade tokenized NMS stock using innovative permissioned automated market makers and liquidity pools.

In watching the clip below of Danya's last stream and hearing the pain in his voice, how deeply the baseless accusations affected him, I am left so mad at what we all allowed to happen right in front of us. It's time to stop worrying about the backlash. I am calling on the FIDE EDC to remove Vladimir Kramnik from the FIDE record books, revoke his title, and disqualify his world championship. Chess is one of the most beloved games in the world and should be a place for kindness and inclusion. It should be unilaterally unacceptable to use a platform that Chess has given you to bully, harass, and slander a colleague. What Kramnik has done to David Navara, Hikaru, and Danya, and others can not be tolerated. It is up to our community and the governing body to set an example that this type of behavior will have consequences. Make it known loud and clear that Chess stands against these hateful acts. If you do them intentionally and maliciously there will be no place for you in our game. FIDE and it's EDC must establish clear policies moving forward around the safety of it's players both in person and digitally. The events leading up to this tragedy happened in broad daylight over the last 18 months. They could have been stopped. Nothing like this can ever be allowed to happen again.

Dinari is Building the Infrastructure for Tokenized Equities, powered by Avalanche. With its consortium-based model, @DinariGlobal is exporting US equities to the world seamlessly and compliantly through its purpose-built @avax L1, called the Dinari Financial Network. The L1 serves as a public utility hub for tokenized asset issuance, trading, and settlement, bridging traditional equities and liquidity with their onchain versions and powering equities markets across chains. With institutional partners like @vaneck_us, @BitGo and @Gemini already leveraging its capabilities and validating the network, Dinari's L1 is emerging as the next gen DTCC--unifying clearing and settlement for Dinari-issued stock tokens, no matter which blockchain they live on. The Dinari Financial Network offers: Omni-Chain Liquidity: By acting as a coordination hub, the network prevents liquidity fragmentation and ensures market depth. Institutional-Grade Controls: The Avalanche-powered architecture allows for the compliance automation and governance required for regulated securities. 24/7 Global Access: This infrastructure sets the stage for continuous trading of U.S. tokenized equities, while making them accessible to a global investor base. The Dinari Financial Network joins the growing list of institutional partners and protocols--banks, asset managers, FMIs, FinTechs, Neobanks, etc.--leveraging Avalanche to operationalize their digital asset strategies. Avalanche, where capital connects US equities with the rest of the world.

No market hours. No borders. No gatekeeping. This is how equities should work. The future is onchain.
Tokenized stocks will eventually just be the way the traditional stock market works For now, the people that stand to benefit from them are people that don't have easy access to the United States stock market It's a big deal to be able to buy MSTR, COIN, CRCL, etc
