Disrupting Stock and Crypto! Is Robinhood a Game-Changer?
Last night, Robinhood, Kraken, and Bybit each officially announced their entry into the tokenization of U.S. stocks, marking the formal breakdown of the barrier between crypto and traditional equities.
Robinhood went even further, unveiling a strategic “combo punch” that transforms it from a mere online brokerage into a “crypto-driven all-in-one investment platform.”
At its high-profile launch event in Cannes, France, the company revealed a new crypto strategy matrix: tokenized U.S. stock trading, a Layer 2 blockchain, and crypto cashback via credit card purchases.
Following the announcement, $Robinhood(HOOD)$ surged 12.77%, reaching a new all-time high.
Is the era of crypto-equity convergence quietly arriving?
At the beginning of 2024, things started to improve.
The approval of the BTC spot ETF opened the door for traditional capital to enter crypto. Subsequently, other relatively mainstream crypto assets also began to chase ETF approval.
Later in the year, the “GENIUS Act” provided a compliance framework for stablecoins, encouraging traditional finance to take a bigger step into the space.
But it still wasn’t enough. The most crucial piece—stock tokenization—had yet to fully unleash its potential.
Entering crypto-equity battlefield, Robinhood aims to become the Nasdaq of the crypto world.
In May and June of 2025, Robinhood spent $180 million and $200 million respectively to acquire WonderFi, a compliant Canadian crypto platform, and Bitstamp, a long-established exchange.
At the just-concluded Cannes event, the company outlined an ambitious vision: using blockchain and tokenization to enable the trading of stocks, derivatives, and even private equity on-chain.
The ultimate goal: to build a new Layer 2 blockchain capable of carrying real-world global assets—Robinhood Chain.
Robinhood is positioning European users as the pioneers of its tokenization strategy. According to the launch event, over 200 U.S.-listed stocks and ETFs will be tokenized and traded via Arbitrum Layer 2, allowing European users to trade these tokenized stocks on Robinhood just like cryptocurrencies.
Does it mean US stock liquidity will increase?
Provide OpenAI and SpaceX equity tokens! Disrupt private equity market?
Robinhood also announced that private equity tokens for OpenAI and SpaceX are now available for immediate issuance. These tokens will remain tradable on weekends via the Robinhood Chain, without relying on a single custodian, and can be freely used across chains.
This move may radically reshape the liquidity structure of the private equity industry—just as Robinhood once disrupted the brokerage world with commission-free trading.
Will you bet on stock tokenization?
How do you view the issuance of OpenAI and SpaceX equity tokens?

BTC現貨ETF獲批爲傳統資本進入crypto打開了大門。隨後，其他相對主流的加密資產也開始追逐ETF獲批。
今年晚些時候，“天才法案“提供合規框架穩定幣，鼓勵傳統金融向該領域邁出更大的步伐。
但這仍然不夠。最關鍵的部分——股票代幣化-尚未充分釋放其潛力。
Robinhood走得更遠，推出了戰略“組合拳”，將其從純粹的在線經紀公司轉變爲“加密貨幣驅動的一體化投資平臺。”
在法國戛納舉行的備受矚目的發佈會上，該公司公佈了一個新的加密戰略矩陣：令牌化的美國股票交易、第2層區塊鏈以及通過信用卡購買的加密現金返還。

Tokenizing private equity is especially exciting. Traditionally, names like SpaceX and OpenAI were out of reach for retail investors. Now, with tradable tokens, Robinhood is breaking that barrier. If they can ensure regulatory backing and transparency, this could truly disrupt the private markets.
As for HOOD, I’m not chasing the highs after its 150% YTD surge, but I wouldn’t short it either. Robinhood is clearly transforming into a Web3-native investment platform. I’ve already allocated a portion of my portfolio to crypto, and this only strengthens my conviction in the merging of traditional and digital assets.
