Robinhood's new blockchain and Stock Tokens offer 24/7 US equity trading in 120+ countries. US investors are excluded. The debt security structure carries creditor risk.
Alpha Score of 55 reflects moderate overall profile with moderate momentum, poor value, strong quality, strong sentiment.
Robinhood launched its own public blockchain on July 1 and immediately used it to offer tokenized versions of US stocks in more than 120 countries. The one place you cannot use them: the United States.
Robinhood Chain, built on Arbitrum, supports a new product called Stock Tokens. These track the performance of over 200 US stocks and ETFs. They are not actual shares. Robinhood Assets (Jersey) Limited, a subsidiary based in Jersey, issues them as debt securities designed to mirror the price of the underlying equities.
What the tokens do offer is 24/7 trading and integration with decentralized finance platforms. They can be used as collateral or plugged into lending protocols. The initial roster includes major US stocks and ETFs, plus some private names available through the Robinhood Wallet.
Analysts at Token Terminal said a successful global rollout could triple the market capitalization of tokenized stocks on Robinhood Chain. The estimate assumes broad adoption across the 120-plus jurisdictions where Stock Tokens are now available.
The United States is not on that list. Robinhood tested tokenized offerings in Europe during 2025 before this broader rollout. CEO Vlad Tenev framed the expansion as part of a broader on-chain finance vision that also includes AI-agent trading developments.
Robinhood's stock rose roughly 7.5% after the announcement. The brokerage carries an Alpha Score of 55 from AlphaScala, a Mixed label. See the HOOD stock page for details.
By building on Arbitrum, Robinhood inherits Ethereum's security guarantees while keeping transaction costs low. Projects like Backed Finance and Dinari operate in the tokenized stock space. None bring Robinhood's scale or mainstream user base.
The structural risk is straightforward. Stock Tokens are debt instruments, not equity. If Robinhood Assets (Jersey) Limited faces financial distress, token holders are creditors, not shareholders. That changes the risk profile versus owning the actual stock through a traditional brokerage.
