Robinhood Chain is the first Layer 2 where tokenized stocks and ETFs trade as standard tokens with live onchain prices. We build the products that turn those assets into DeFi: lending markets, index baskets, yield vaults and structured products. And for asset owners, we design and deploy your own RWA tokens on the chain built for them.
Most RWA tokenization projects spend their first year solving the same two problems: getting a credible asset onchain, and getting a reliable price for it. Robinhood Chain launched with both solved for its flagship asset class. Tokenized US stocks and ETFs, issued as Stock Tokens by Robinhood’s regulated entity, trade on the network as standard tokens, each with its own live Chainlink price feed.
That changes what an RWA builder can do. Equity exposure becomes a building block: collateral in a lending market, a component in an index basket, the underlying of a vault or a structured product. The tokenized RWA market has grown from about $5 billion to over $33 billion onchain in eighteen months, and equities are its newest and fastest-moving segment.
We work on both sides of this market. For DeFi and fintech teams, we build the platforms that put tokenized stocks and ETFs to work. For asset owners, we tokenize real-world assets, from funds and private credit to real estate and commodities, as independent third-party tokens on Robinhood Chain.
Pick the track that matches your position in the market. Some clients need both.
Tokenized stocks and ETFs are already trading on the chain with live prices. We build the products that use them: lending markets, index baskets, yield vaults, trading apps and structured products.
For: DeFi protocols, fintech startups and trading platforms that want equity-powered products without issuing anything themselves.
The chain is permissionless, so independent issuers can tokenize their own assets: fund shares, private credit, real estate, commodities and revenue streams, with compliance controls built in.
For: Asset managers, property firms, credit funds and businesses that own the asset and want it tradable onchain.
From products built on Robinhood’s tokenized stocks to tokenizing your own assets, everything ships from one team.
Lending markets where users deposit tokenized stocks like NVDA or SPY as collateral and borrow stablecoins without selling their exposure.
Bundled products such as an AI basket of NVDA, MSFT and GOOGL that values itself automatically from live onchain prices.
Vaults that put tokenized stocks to work in lending markets, so holders earn yield on top of their equity exposure.
Trading and portfolio apps with live USD valuations, daily profit and loss, and swap functionality for tokenized stocks and ETFs.
Your own RWA tokens on Robinhood Chain: fund shares, private credit, real estate, commodities and revenue streams, engineered end to end.
Onchain products that react to equity prices, such as contracts that execute automatically when a stock crosses a set threshold.
Investor whitelists, jurisdiction gates, KYC-bound wallets and lockup enforcement, built to match your legal counsel’s requirements.
Chainlink feed integration for tokenized stocks, and custom pricing or proof-of-reserve setups for assets without a public feed.
Full-stack applications around your RWA product: dashboards, investor portals, admin panels and reporting.
The essentials of how tokenized stocks and ETFs actually work, in plain language.
Stock Tokens work with any wallet and any standard token tooling. Holding tokenized NVDA is, from a wallet’s point of view, no different from holding any other token. That is what makes them easy to build products around.
Each tokenized stock or ETF has its own contract, identified by its ticker. A token gives you economic exposure to the underlying share’s price, not legal ownership of the share itself.
When a company pays a dividend or splits its stock, holders do not need to do anything. The token adjusts how many underlying shares it represents behind the scenes, and the live price reflects it. Products we build account for this from day one.
Each tokenized stock has its own Chainlink price feed publishing live values onchain. Any application can read these prices, which is what makes lending, baskets and automated strategies possible.
At launch, tokenized stocks trade through a quote-based system rather than open liquidity pools. Apps that need swaps plug into that quote flow, while apps that need pricing read the live feed. We design around this from the start.
New Stock Tokens can only be created by Robinhood’s regulated entity. Builders work with the tokens already in circulation. Knowing this constraint early prevents product designs that assume otherwise, and it is where less careful agencies go wrong.
Standard capabilities of an RWA platform we deliver. The exact set flexes to your product.
Portfolio view with live valuations, holdings history and profit and loss for every tokenized asset.
Investor onboarding with identity verification and wallet whitelisting where your structure requires it.
In-app trading for tokenized assets with clear pricing and transaction history.
Automated payouts for rental income, interest or fund distributions, sent onchain to eligible holders.
Real-time asset prices from Chainlink oracles, displayed across the platform and used in every calculation.
Stocks, ETFs, funds, real estate and credit instruments managed in one platform architecture.
Issuer controls, investor management, audit trails and exportable reports for your operations team.
Self-custody wallet support with WalletConnect, plus institutional custody options where needed.
The path from a real-world asset to a live, tradable token, in six steps.
We evaluate the asset, its ownership structure, how it should be priced and what restrictions apply. Not every asset is ready to tokenize, and we say so when it is not.
Your legal counsel defines the wrapper: what the token represents and who may hold it. We translate those rules into the token’s design.
The token is engineered with the right supply, transfer rules and distribution logic, then tested against real-world scenarios including corporate actions.
The asset gets a reliable price source: a Chainlink feed where one exists, or a NAV reporting and attestation process where it does not.
Independent security audit, a full rehearsal on testnet, then deployment to Robinhood Chain mainnet with verified, public contracts.
Investor onboarding opens, income distributions run on schedule, and your team manages everything through the admin panel we hand over.

RWA projects fail legal review before they fail technically. We build with that reality in view.
Robinhood’s own Stock Tokens are not offered to US persons and carry restrictions in several jurisdictions. Products built on them, and independent RWA tokens, need eligibility controls that reflect your legal counsel’s requirements. We implement them at both the token and application level.
Where your asset requires it, we build transfer-restricted tokens: investor whitelists, verified wallets, lockup periods and recovery provisions for regulated instruments, while keeping the token as standard as the rules allow.
An RWA token is only as credible as its link to the real asset. We use Chainlink feeds where they exist and design transparent valuation and attestation processes where they do not.
We are engineers, not your law firm. We work alongside your legal counsel on structuring, and we do not issue securities, custody assets or offer investments. We also cannot create Stock Tokens: those are issued solely by Robinhood’s entity. What we build is the technology.
Whether you are building on tokenized stocks or bringing your own asset to Robinhood Chain, the first conversation is a technical one. Have it with people who have read the documentation.
Not directly, and no honest agency can. Stock Tokens are issued exclusively by Robinhood’s regulated entity. What we build are the products that use those tokens, such as lending markets, baskets and vaults, or tokenization of other asset classes you own or manage.
A standard token on Robinhood Chain that gives the holder economic exposure to a US stock or ETF, one token contract per ticker. Each has a live onchain price feed, works with any wallet, and trades around the clock in eligible regions. Holders get price exposure, not legal ownership of the underlying share.
Nothing breaks, if the product was built correctly. The token adjusts what it represents behind the scenes and the live price reflects the change automatically. We test every build against simulated dividends and splits before launch, because this is exactly where carelessly built platforms fail.
Stock Tokens themselves are not offered to US persons and are restricted in several other jurisdictions, which constrains any product built on them. Independent RWA tokens carry whatever restrictions your legal structure imposes. We implement eligibility controls to match your counsel’s requirements, but the legal determination is theirs.
The chain is permissionless, so technically any asset your legal structure supports: fund shares, private credit, real estate, commodities, revenue streams. The practical questions are pricing, transfer restrictions and how income gets distributed. We assess all three in the feasibility phase.
Because the flagship RWAs are already here with solved pricing. Tokenized stocks and ETFs with live price feeds exist on this chain today, with fast blocks, low fees and full compatibility with standard Ethereum tooling. For equity-linked products specifically, no other network currently offers this combination.
Products built on tokenized stocks typically take 6 to 12 weeks including audit. Tokenizing your own asset depends on the legal track running alongside the build, which we coordinate with your counsel from day one.
No. We are an independent development company building for third-party projects on Robinhood Chain, the permissionless network. We are not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Robinhood Markets, Inc.
