GameStop and Nvidia tokenized stocks on Robinhood Chain each logged over $10M daily volume in late July. RWA value jumped 5x to $70M. The after-hours gap risk is real.
Tokenized stocks on Robinhood Chain logged real volume in July. GameStop Corp. tokens averaged $26.6 million a day in late July. Nvidia Corp. tokens cleared roughly $14 million. SpaceX, a private company, traded near $6.4 million through the same window, according to data reported by CoinDesk.
The chain launched July 1 with Stock Tokens live from day one. Within three weeks it was processing about 6 million daily transactions with $431 million in total value locked, CoinDesk and The Block reported. RWA-related tokens – a category that includes tokenized stocks and other real-world assets – jumped roughly fivefold to about $70 million by July 25.
The mechanics are straightforward. Each Stock Token relies on an oracle feed that updates the on-chain reference price and a set of market makers who arbitrage the spread when the token drifts from the underlying stock. During U.S. market hours the basis tends to stay tight. After hours and on weekends the reference market is closed, so spreads widen and the token can gap on news.
That gap risk is the real edge case for traders. A headline at 2 a.m. Saturday leaves the token pricing on indicative feeds and trader expectations until Monday's open. For retail-sized flow the current spread is manageable, CoinDesk's data showed, but size trades face wider fills overnight.
Memecoin activity on Robinhood Chain built the initial liquidity. The same market makers who tightened spreads on meme tokens are now quoting RWA flows, which one trader described as a "piggyback effect" – if the chain has tight pricing for the fun stuff, serious instruments benefit too.
AlphaScala's internal scoring assigns NVDA a 75 out of 100 (Moderate) and GME a 46 (Mixed), reflecting the divergence in fundamentals and market structure behind the tokenized flows.
Three factors will determine whether this stays a niche or scales. More ticker listings would widen the addressable pool. Better oracle cadence – faster or more frequent updates during off-hours – would compress the after-hours basis. Maker incentives that reward 24/7 quoting would narrow spreads further.
Robinhood Chain cumulative DEX volume crossed $9 billion by July 25, The Block reported. The RWA share is still small but growing.
