Robinhood is broadening its reach in Europe with the introduction of over 200 tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs for EU-based users, transforming its app into a multi-asset investment platform.
The new offerings, built on the Arbitrum blockchain, give investors digital exposure to major American equities like Tesla and Apple. Users will also receive dividends in-app, simulating traditional stock ownership.
CEO Vlad Tenev announced the rollout during a fintech event in Cannes, thanking EU regulators for enabling the expansion. The move marks a significant shift from Robinhood’s crypto-only model in the region to one that blends equities and blockchain-based innovation.
Alongside tokenized stocks, Robinhood is rolling out perpetual futures across the EU, offering up to 3x leverage, with full availability expected by the end of summer. Additionally, Ethereum and Solana staking are now live for users in the U.S., EU, and EEA.
The firm is also developing its own Layer 2 blockchain, again tapping into Arbitrum for infrastructure.
Following the news, Robinhood shares surged over 8%, hitting a record $90.49, signaling investor confidence in the platform’s aggressive global strategy.
