Gemini said it partnered with Dinari, a firm focused on tokenizing real-world assets, to issue the tokens. Dinari obtained a broker-dealer registration from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) earlier this week, allowing the firm to offer tokenized versions of U.S. stocks.

The move comes as demand grows for bringing traditional financial instruments such as equities onto blockchain rails, also known as tokenization of real-world assets. Crypto exchanges Coinbase and Kraken are also seeking to expand into tokenized securities trading, while Robinhood is reportedly working on offering tokenized U.S. stocks for EU users.

Gemini last month secured a MiFID II license from Malta that allows it to offer derivative products across the European Economic Area.
