Robinhood History of the evolution of tokenization of US stocks

Robinhood's journey towards tokenizing U.S. stocks has not been abrupt. From early explorations of blockchain technology, to acquiring compliance licenses to pave the way, and then to launching over 200 tokenized U.S. stocks in the EU in 2025, it has gradually moved Wall Street stocks onto the blockchain. The move to build its own Layer2 chain also reveals its ambition to rewrite the rules of the game.
