Robinhood Builds Blockchain Bridge—EU Investors May Soon Trade Tokenized US Stocks
Wall Street’s favorite disruptor is at it again. Robinhood quietly files EU crypto licenses while developing a blockchain solution that could let Europeans trade tokenized versions of Apple, Tesla, and other US equities—no NYSE membership required.
The move circumvents traditional market infrastructure, sparking debates about regulatory arbitrage. ’Because what Europe really needs is more exposure to US market volatility,’ quipped one Frankfurt-based trader.
If successful, the platform would mark the first legal pathway for EU retail investors to access fractionalized US stocks via blockchain—assuming regulators don’t intervene. The race to tokenize everything accelerates.
