Happy New Year! We’re excited to share the following updates on our progress in December. This monthly newsletter is dedicated to sharing product news, announcements, and more happening at Dinara.

Check out a couple highlights from December below and then a quick year-end recap:

🥩 we began rolling out our staking product to existing customers, allowing them to earn a staking yield on major assets for much cheaper than what is offered by other alternatives.

🦄 we announced our integration with Uniswap, which allows Dinara customers to seamlessly connect with the industry’s largest decentralized exchange securely from their Dinara account.

🗞️ our CEO Laurence Latimer joined Yahoo! Finance to share his thoughts on the highly anticipated Bitcoin ETF approval, predictions for the crypto market in 2024, and reasons to be optimistic on crypto’s development and future potential.

📅 2023 Recap

Though a challenging year for the industry, 2023 was a milestone year for our team after launching at the end of 2022. We are deeply appreciative of the trust that our early customers have placed in us, and are extremely excited to build from that foundation.

As a quick recap, here is what we are most proud of delivering in 2023:

• We launched Dinara with our first customer in December of 2022 and onboarded clients from various industries and segments within crypto in 2023. Most importantly, we continue to strengthen our partnerships with our earliest customers as they consistently engage and provide feedback to our platform and services. This insight is integral to what we are building and how we move forward.  
• After bringing to market our initial enterprise financial services solution, we spent 2023 continuing to build, launching several new products, including: an enhanced custody solution and fiat on/off ramps, staking, WalletConnect functionality, and integrations with decentralized applications like Uniswap.
• We also launched Dinara Connect, our partner program with an exceptional first cohort of partners that includes: Chainalysis, Vouch, Bitwave, QuickNode, TaxBit, Fenwick, Propeller Industries, and Spark + Mint.
• After launching in four initial states, we gained regulatory sign-off to launch in Colorado in Q4 2023 and are anticipating approval in several additional states in early Q1 2024.
• Despite largely keeping our heads down to focus on product and customer experience, we garnered  media coverage in the second half of the year, with our CEO Laurence Latimer sharing more about Dinara with Forbes, Yahoo! Finance, and others. We think he looked pretty good doing it!

✨ New Products & Solutions

Our team continues to improve – adding to our suite of products and delivering support for the core financial services workflows that our customers need. More to come!

🦄 Integrating with Uniswap

‍After launching our WalletConnect functionality, we have begun to integrate with some of the top decentralized applications in the industry. The first of these to announce is Uniswap, the largest decentralized exchange protocol in crypto.

This integration allows Dinara customers to effortlessly manage their assets and engage with Uniswap directly from their Dinara wallets. A number of our customers require access to liquidity for longer-tail assets, and now they can do that seamlessly and securely from their Dinara accounts.

This upgrade not only simplifies Dinara customers' financial interactions but also aligns with our commitment to increase connectivity across the crypto ecosystem and empower our community.

Please reach out to learn more – we’d love to share how we’re building Dinara as a platform that can support end-to-end digital asset workflows.
