Robinhood to Tokenize U.S. Stocks for Europe via Blockchain

Robinhood plans to launch a blockchain platform that will allow European investors to access U.S. stocks in tokenized form. The project, reported by Bloomberg, is part of a broader trend of real-world asset tokenization and democratization of access to global financial markets.

Using blockchain, Robinhood aims for a more efficient solution for custody and transaction settlement by removing traditional intermediaries and reducing operational costs. This could accelerate individual investors’ access to U.S. equities from Europe, bypassing usual institutional barriers.

If implemented, the project could boost blockchain adoption in traditional finance and set a significant precedent for tokenizing publicly traded stocks.
