The brokerage’s latest expansion brings its on-chain real-world asset (RWA) portfolio to nearly 500 tokenized securities worth over $8.5 million.
Introduction: Expanding Tokenization on Arbitrum
Robinhood is accelerating its real-world asset (RWA) tokenization drive, adding 80 new U.S. stock and ETF tokens in the past week. The initiative — built on the Arbitrum blockchain — now encompasses 493 tokenized assets valued above $8.5 million, signaling growing European interest in on-chain equities trading.
According to Dune Analytics data, Robinhood’s cumulative mint volume has surpassed $19.3 million, offset by roughly $11.5 million in burns, indicating an actively traded secondary market rather than idle speculation.
“Robinhood EU users now have a wider range of U.S. stocks, equities, and ETFs, thanks to tokenization,” said research analyst Tom Wan.

Breakdown of Tokenized Assets
Stocks currently make up nearly 70% of all deployed tokens, followed by ETFs at about 24%, with smaller portions allocated to commodities, crypto ETFs, and U.S. Treasurys.
Recent additions include Galaxy (GLXY), Webull (BULL), and Synopsys (SNPS), expanding access to both technology and financial sector exposures. These blockchain-based assets allow fractional trading and 24-hour access, creating an entry point for retail investors who previously faced barriers due to high share prices or restricted market hours.
Tokenized Derivatives, Not Direct Shares
Launched in June, Robinhood’s Arbitrum-based Layer-2 network allows European investors to trade tokenized derivatives that mirror real U.S. stocks and ETFs. However, the tokens do not represent direct ownership of the underlying securities.
Instead, they are structured as regulated derivatives under MiFID II, the EU’s Markets in Financial Instruments Directive. The company says users can start investing with as little as one euro ($1.17), pay no hidden fees, and enjoy 24-hour market access — all features designed to make traditional assets more accessible through blockchain infrastructure.
Regulatory Review and Broader Expansion
The Bank of Lithuania, Robinhood’s EU regulator, has requested additional clarification regarding the structure and risk framework of these tokenized products. CEO Vlad Tenev said the company welcomes the review, emphasizing compliance and transparency as priorities.
The tokenization rollout follows Robinhood’s other crypto-focused expansions, including micro Bitcoin, XRP, and Solana futures and the $179 million acquisition of WonderFi in Canada earlier this year. The firm has also submitted a proposal to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for a national framework regulating RWAs — aiming to establish clearer rules for tokenized securities.
Robinhood’s on-chain strategy underscores a broader trend in financial markets: the fusion of traditional equities with blockchain technology. With nearly 500 assets already live, the firm is positioning itself as a major player in the tokenized finance revolution — one that could redefine how global investors access and trade U.S. markets.
