Tokenized stocks gain momentum
Twelve Robinhood-based tokenized stocks are now clearing more than $500,000 a day, with five above $1 million. The leading performers show significant volume. A tokenized GameStop share is doing $26.6 million in daily volume on the exchange, with Nvidia at $14 million and SpaceX at $6.4 million close behind.
The tokenized stocks generate roughly $55 million in daily volume, a significant portion of Robinhood Chain's more than $600 million in daily decentralized-exchange volume. The chain has scaled rapidly, recording more than 138 million transactions in 30 days, per Token Terminal.
Memecoins still dominate, but RWAs gaining ground
The rise of tokenized equities marks a shift from the chain's early days. When Robinhood Chain first launched, its activity was dominated by speculative memecoin trading rather than the original tokenization pitch, with real-world assets representing just 4% of the network.
That's changing. The rest is dominated by memecoins. Stablecoins remain the single largest presence on the chain, but tokenized equities are carving out meaningful volume. The shift reflects retail interest in fractional equity ownership on-chain and the infrastructure maturing to handle real-world asset settlement at scale.
One memecoin tied to the chain's origins still grabbed headlines. CASHCAT, built around Robinhood's abandoned original name, spiked more than 1,700% after CEO Vlad Tenev followed its account. The token has since fallen about 75% from its peak, a reminder that speculative interest can be volatile.

Why did Robinhood Chain's activity shift from memecoins to real-world assets?
