Dinosaur Announces Alliance with tZero

Announcement
Earlier today, Dinosaur Financial Group announced that they have established a working partnership with tZERO.
This partnership will see tZERO turn to Dinosaur for broker/dealer services. Such a partnership is a necessity to facilitate trading on tZERO’s newly launched Security Tokens Exchange.
Time will tell if this partnership will endure. Investors were disappointed earlier this week to find that trading on the tZERO platform is currently limited to wall-street hours (0930-1600hrs EST). However, tZERO is looking to eventually attain its own broker/dealer licence. In doing so, they would then open trading 24/7.
For now, this partnership is a mutually beneficial and allows tZERO to continue to establish itself as a key piece in the digital securities sector.
