Robinhood Proposes SEC Framework to Tokenize $30T Real-World Assets
Robinhood Markets has submitted a comprehensive 42-page proposal to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, advocating for a federal framework to regulate tokenized real-world assets (RWAs). The document outlines a vision where tokens representing traditional securities—bonds, equities, commodities—are granted legal equivalence to their underlying assets, streamlining trading and settlement processes.
The initiative transcends mere fintech adoption, aiming to redefine the issuance and exchange of securities within U.S. markets. Approval could cement Robinhood’s position as a pioneer in compliant asset tokenization, setting a precedent for institutional adoption of blockchain-based financial instruments.
