Robinhood Expands Its Tokenization Push in Europe
Robinhood is taking tokenization to new heights. The brokerage giant has now brought almost 500 US stock and ETF tokens onto the Arbitrum blockchain for its European users.
Nearly $8.5 Million in Tokenized Assets
Data from Dune Analytics shows Robinhood has tokenized 493 assets valued at over $8.5 million. The total mint volume sits around $19.3 million, with roughly $11.5 million burned — a sign of active trading. Stocks make up 70% of all tokens, followed by ETFs at 24%.
Not Real Shares, but Blockchain-Based Derivatives
Robinhood’s tokens mirror real stock prices but don’t represent actual ownership. Instead, they function as blockchain derivatives regulated under MiFID II — the same framework that governs financial instruments across Europe. Users can trade them 24/7 with no hidden fees except a 0.1% FX charge, and can start with as little as €1.
Regulators Watching Closely
The Bank of Lithuania, which oversees Robinhood in the EU, has asked for details about the structure of these tokens. Robinhood’s CEO, Vlad Tenev, said the company welcomes the review.
Robinhood’s Crypto Expansion Continues
This move follows Robinhood’s rollout of micro futures for Bitcoin, XRP, and Solana — plus its $179 million acquisition of WonderFi in Canada. The firm is also lobbying US regulators for a unified rulebook on real-world asset (RWA) tokenization.
