Let's dive in our 30s report🧵
...
— Robinhood Stock Tokens / $HOOD

➠ As an initial strategy, they are distributing private company stock tokens for @OpenAI and @SpaceX.
➠ Robinhood has announced Robinhood Chain, a Layer X (or potentially Layer 3) rollup, partnering with @arbitrum. This chain is optimized for tokenized real-world assets and designed to support 24/7 trading, seamless bridging, and self-custody.
➠ Robinhood is also making several additional announcements:
- Relaunching $SOL and $ETH staking for U.S. users

— Gemini Tokenized Stocks (GTS/ dSharesTM)

— Is it Good or Bad?
On-chain stocks, like Kraken's xStocks, Robinhood's stock tokens, and Gemini's tokenized stocks, could draw more traditional investors into crypto. This might increase demand for native blockchain tokens (such as SOL and ETH), boosting liquidity.
However, it could also shift focus away from pure crypto assets aka altcoins, potentially affecting market dynamics. Platforms like Hyperliquid also might face competition as users trade tokenized stocks directly.
These platforms could likely adapt by offering derivatives on these stocks, but this could strain liquidity if capital shifts significantly.
On the other hand, for DeFi enthusiasts, on-chain stocks offer exciting possibilities. This could expand DeFi's asset base, bridging traditional finance with decentralized protocols, though regulatory hurdles might slow progress.
