Robinhood has taken another big step in its blockchain journey, expanding its tokenization efforts on the Arbitrum network. The platform recently added 80 new stock tokens, increasing its total offering to nearly 500 tokenized assets. This move allows Robinhood EU users greater access to US stocks and ETFs—available 24/7, with minimal fees and an investment entry point as low as €1.
Nearly 500 Tokenized Assets Now Available on Arbitrum
According to data from Dune Analytics, Robinhood has now tokenized 493 assets, with a total value exceeding $8.5 million. These assets have seen a mint volume of over $19.3 million, countered by around $11.5 million in burning activity, indicating steady engagement and market demand.
Currently, the tokenized portfolio is composed of:
-
70% US stocks
-
24% ETFs
-
The remainder split between commodities and crypto-related ETFs
Some of the newest additions include Galaxy Digital (GLXY), Webull (BULL), and Synopsys (SNPS). These tokens mirror the real-time price of their corresponding US-listed securities, offering users fractional ownership and 24/7 trading flexibility.
Regulated Under MiFID II and Designed for Accessibility
The tokenized assets are structured as blockchain-based derivatives and fall under the MiFID II framework, ensuring regulatory oversight and investor protection. With an entry threshold of just €1, Robinhood aims to make investing more accessible for EU users, especially those looking to diversify into US markets without the limitations of traditional trading hours.
However, Robinhood’s rollout hasn’t been without scrutiny. The Bank of Lithuania has raised questions about the structure of these financial instruments. In response, Robinhood has welcomed regulatory review, emphasizing transparency and a willingness to work with authorities to shape the future of tokenized finance.
