Tokenized real-world assets on Robinhood Chain have surged to about $70 million in value, a roughly fivefold increase in less than two weeks, as tokenized equities begin trading at scale. A dozen tokenized stocks, led by GameStop at $26.6 million in daily volume, Nvidia at $14 million and SpaceX at $6.4 million, now each clear at least $500,000 per day, with five above $1 million.
Total value locked has roughly tripled since mid-July to about $312 million, according to DefiLlama, and the chain is now clearing more than $600 million in daily DEX volume. Token Terminal puts its 30-day transaction count above 138 million, placing Robinhood Chain among the more active networks in crypto by user activity.
Why it matters
The original pitch behind Robinhood Chain was always tokenization, and for its first weeks the network was defined by speculative memecoin trading rather than the equities it was built for. CASHCAT, a mascot-themed memecoin referencing Robinhood's abandoned original name, spiked more than 1,700% after CEO Vlad Tenev followed its account before falling roughly 75% from its peak.
The tokenized-stock business that critics three weeks ago said had failed to materialize is now starting to land. Twelve tokenized equities are clearing meaningful size, and the real-world asset slice of the chain has grown from roughly 4% of network activity to a substantially larger share, even as the absolute dollar figure remains modest against the chain's overall liquidity.
Market impact
The shift is real but still partial. Tokenized stocks generate roughly $55 million in daily volume, under a tenth of the chain's nearly $600 million in total DEX trading, with stablecoins and memecoins like Hoodrat, Vladhood and Swole Doge still filling the top of DEX Screener's trending list.
For the broader RWA narrative, the data is the closest signal yet that retail-facing tokenized equity products can find organic liquidity without subsidised incentives.
