Robinhood Expands to Europe with Blockchain Stock Trading
Robinhood, the US-based trading platform, is expanding into Europe. It's exploring tokenizing securities and plans to launch a blockchain-based platform for European retail investors to trade US stocks. The company is considering partnerships with Arbitrum and Solana for the underlying technology and has secured a brokerage license in Lithuania.
Tokenizing securities, a practice explored by financial giants like BlackRock and Franklin Templeton, involves representing ownership of assets as digital tokens on a blockchain. Robinhood aims to use this technology to streamline trading processes for European users. The platform is actively developing tokenized stock offerings, aiming to improve transaction efficiency and reduce costs.
Robinhood's expansion plans also include acquiring crypto exchange Bitstamp. The company has secured a brokerage license in Lithuania, a significant step towards European expansion. Potential partnerships with European financial institutions or technology firms could further enhance these services, though specific details are yet to be disclosed.
