Robinhood’s Tokenized Stocks Await SEC Green Light: $100 Share Price on the Horizon

$Robinhood(HOOD)$  is actively pursuing initiatives to launch tokenized stocks and other real-world assets (RWAs).

SEC Proposal for Tokenized Assets: In April 2025, Robinhood submitted a 42-page proposal to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to establish a federal framework for tokenized RWAs. The proposal aims to make tokenized assets legally equivalent to their traditional counterparts, streamlining custody, trading, and settlement processes under existing securities laws. It also seeks to replace state-level regulations with a unified national framework.

Real World Asset Exchange (RRE): Robinhood plans to launch a trading platform called the Real World Asset Exchange (RRE), which would support tokenized assets like stocks, bonds, and commodities. The platform will use a dual-chain architecture on Solana and Base blockchains, targeting high-speed onchain settlement with sub-10 microsecond matching latency and up to 30,000 transactions per second. This could reduce settlement times from T+2 to T+0, potentially cutting trading costs by 30% annually.

European Expansion: Robinhood is developing a blockchain-based platform to allow European retail investors to trade tokenized U.S. securities, such as stocks. The project is in discussions with digital-asset firms, with Solana and Arbitrum being considered for the blockchain infrastructure. No final agreements have been confirmed, but this move aligns with Robinhood’s recent acquisition of a brokerage license in Lithuania, enabling EU-wide stock trading.

Industry Context: Robinhood’s efforts are part of a broader trend in tokenization, with firms like BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, and Kraken also exploring tokenized assets. The RWA tokenization market is projected to reach $30 trillion by 2030, driven by benefits like faster settlement, lower costs, and increased accessibility.

Current Status: The SEC has not yet responded to Robinhood’s proposal, and regulatory approval remains a key hurdle. Robinhood’s CEO, Vlad Tenev, has emphasized the company’s commitment to compliant tokenization, positioning it as a leader in modernizing financial infrastructure
