Kakaopay Securities Partners with Dinari to Expand Global Access to Korean Equities
Kakaopay Securities, a leading mobile-first securities firm in South Korea, has partnered with Dinari Inc., a financial infrastructure company specializing in tokenized equities. The collaboration aims to explore the application of Dinari's dShares™ model—where each token is backed one-to-one by an underlying security—to Korean-listed equities and establish frameworks for their international distribution. The partnership will involve sourcing Korean-listed equities, conducting a proof of concept for equity tokenization, and forming a joint task force to evaluate technical, operational, and regulatory requirements. This initiative seeks to create new investment pathways by connecting leading Korean companies with global investors through Dinari's existing network in the U.S. and other international markets. Currently, access to Korean equities is limited outside of Korea due to constraints on depositary receipts listed abroad. Tokenization could offer a more direct route for international exposure while preserving shareholder rights such as dividends and voting.
