20th October 2025 – Robinhood has added 80 new tokenized U.S. stocks to the Arbitrum blockchain, expanding its digital asset offerings to a total of 493 tokenized instruments. This development strengthens the platform’s push into real-world asset (RWA) tokenization and further positions it within Europe’s evolving digital finance landscape.
According to data from Dune Analytics, these tokenized assets currently hold a combined value of over $8.5 million. Since inception, total minting volume has exceeded $19.3 million, with approximately $11.5 million in tokens burned, indicating both growth and active trading.
Stocks represent nearly 70% of all tokenized assets on the platform, followed by exchange-traded funds (ETFs) at roughly 24%. The remainder includes commodities, crypto ETFs, and U.S. Treasurys. Among the newly listed tokens are Galaxy (GLXY), Webull (BULL), and Synopsys (SNPS). Research analyst Tom Wan noted that the expansion broadens access for EU investors to U.S. equities and ETFs.

Robinhood’s stock tokens track the price movements of publicly listed U.S. securities but do not confer direct ownership. Instead, these instruments function as blockchain-based derivatives regulated under the European Union’s Markets in Financial Instruments Directive II (MiFID II). Robinhood states that this structure allows for 24-hour trading access, minimal fees beyond a 0.1% foreign exchange charge, and investment thresholds as low as one euro.
However, the structure has drawn regulatory scrutiny. In July, the Bank of Lithuania requested additional details on how the tokens are defined and managed. Robinhood responded by expressing support for the regulatory review.
Robinhood’s expansion into tokenization follows several moves aimed at scaling its presence in global digital finance. Earlier this year, the firm acquired Canadian crypto platform WonderFi in a $179 million deal. It also launched micro futures contracts for Bitcoin, XRP, and Solana.
Chief Executive Officer Vlad Tenev described the shift toward tokenized finance as a long-term strategic move. He highlighted Europe’s regulatory clarity and growing retail demand as key drivers of Robinhood’s international growth. The firm has also submitted a proposal to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), advocating for a unified regulatory framework governing tokenized real-world assets.
Industry trends appear to support Robinhood’s direction. Asset managers such as BlackRock and Franklin Templeton have increasingly integrated tokenization into their core strategies. BlackRock CEO Larry Fink has publicly stated his belief that ETFs and retirement products will eventually operate natively on blockchain infrastructure.
As traditional and decentralized financial systems continue to converge, Robinhood and their tokenized stocks expansion illustrates how retail-focused platforms are shaping the future of tokenized investing.
