Robinhood Plans Blockchain Platform for European Investors to Trade US Stocks

Robinhood is reportedly building a blockchain-based trading network that would allow European retail investors to access US securities, according to a May 7 Bloomberg report.

The fintech firm aims to expand its European footprint by offering tokenized stocks and other assets. Sources indicate that both Arbitrum and Solana Foundation are competing to partner on the project.

Tokenization—converting traditional assets into blockchain-based tokens—could lower costs, improve accessibility, and enable near-instant settlements, marking a significant shift in how securities are traded globally.
