Robinhood CEO: The world is entering a tokenization supercycle and calls for US regulation to speed up adaptation to the tokenized market

Comparing news, Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev said in an article on the X platform that the world is in the early stages of the “tokenization supercycle”. The meaning of tokenizing is not simply moving stocks to the blockchain, but rather reconstructing asset ownership infrastructure so that assets can flow freely like internet information.

Tenev said that Robinhood Chain has completed 100 million transactions more than a month after its launch. Its Stock Tokens have provided users in more than 120 countries with economic exposure to more than 190 US stocks, and are supported 1:1 by underlying stocks, but are not yet open to US users. He believes that as the regulatory framework matures, we expect token design to continue to evolve, including the emergence of tokenized shares with full rights to traditional stocks in the future.

At the end of the article, it called for the US regulatory framework to speed up adaptation to the tokenized market, and stated that listed stocks are only the starting point, and that assets with more restricted liquidity and access, such as private company equity, may become an important direction in the next phase.
