Robinhood Eyes Blockchain Leap to Tokenize Wall Street for Europe

Robinhood appears poised to make its boldest move yet: bringing U.S. financial markets to Europe through the power of blockchain.

According to insider reports, the company is building a platform that would let European investors trade blockchain-based versions of U.S. stocks and ETFs.

Instead of simply listing digital assets, Robinhood aims to repackage traditional securities into tokenized formats — enabling faster, round-the-clock trading and cutting out many of the barriers that currently limit cross-border investing. Over 8,000 U.S.-listed stocks could eventually become accessible to a new wave of European traders.

While it’s unclear whether Robinhood will use Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum, or another network as its foundation, the effort puts the company alongside established financial players like Franklin Templeton and Apollo, who are also diving into tokenized assets.

This ambition comes on the heels of Robinhood’s purchase of Bitstamp, a long-standing crypto exchange in Europe — a clear signal that the platform is serious about scaling crypto-finance infrastructure.

Should the project succeed, it may not only redefine how investors abroad access American markets but also light a fire under the tokenization trend and provide new momentum for blockchain adoption across traditional finance.
