Robinhood Chain's tokenized equity trading hits $55M daily. GameStop and Nvidia tokens lead. The shift from memecoins to real-world assets tests network durability.
Robinhood (HOOD) has seen the market capitalization of tokenized real-world assets on its proprietary chain climb roughly fivefold in two weeks, crossing $70 million, according to data from analytics platforms.
Launched in early July as an Arbitrum-based Ethereum layer-2 network, Robinhood Chain supports tokenized US stocks. These instruments are structured as debt securities that track equity performance without conferring direct ownership. They trade around the clock on decentralized exchanges such as Uniswap and can be used as collateral in DeFi protocols.
Early network activity centered on memecoin speculation. The tokenized equity segment started smaller. That dynamic is shifting.
GameStop-linked tokens lead daily volume at roughly $26.6 million. Nvidia follows near $14 million. SpaceX sees about $6.4 million. At least a dozen tokenized stocks clear $500,000 in daily volume. Aggregate daily trading in equity tokens has reached about $55 million.
Total value locked on the chain has risen sharply. Decentralized exchange activity remains elevated. Tokens tracking Nvidia, Tesla, Apple, and others show on-chain market caps in the low millions, with portions used in lending and other DeFi applications. Holder counts have expanded, reflecting wider distribution.
Observers see the shift as progress toward the chain's original purpose: enabling continuous, self-custodied access to equity exposure that integrates with on-chain financial primitives. While memecoin activity still accounts for most volume, the rising share and absolute size of equity-token trades mark a meaningful step. Participants can now move positions of meaningful size outside traditional market hours.
Sustained growth will depend on liquidity provision and regulatory clarity, observers said. Organic demand from retail and developer communities also matters. Integrations with lending protocols and additional decentralized venues already support use cases like borrowing against holdings.
As more capital allocates into these instruments in larger sizes, the network's tokenized equity metrics will remain a key indicator of whether the platform can convert its large user base into durable on-chain RWA activity. The $55 million daily volume figure for equity tokens marks a shift from the network's memecoin-dominated early days.
