1. Late-night sword: Accurately cut into traditional pain points and open a new door to RWA

The late-night crypto market once again showed its edge. Robinhood's latest series of stock tokenization products, like a precise scalpel, directly penetrated the core pain points of the traditional capital market - the lengthy IPO process, difficult financing and high costs. More importantly, it opened the door to the RWA (real world asset) track for countless small and medium-sized enterprises. A silent liquidity revolution is taking place.

2. The road to counterattack: from loss to subversion, it is the right time to deploy RWA

This 12-year-old financial platform has been labeled "zero commission" and "financial democratization" since its inception. However, the road to challenging traditional brokerages is not smooth. In 2021, under multiple pressures, Robinhood once recorded a loss of up to US$3.687 billion.

But the real turning point came from its strategic layout in the crypto field: from entering the crypto business in 2018 to decisively acquiring key platforms such as Bitstamp in 2024, and finally launching a disruptive stock tokenization product in 2025. Robinhood's transformation proves that it is not too late to start laying out RWA now - you are just four years later than it.

3. Three "king bombs": reshaping stock trading rules

Robinhood has brought a very disruptive solution to B-side enterprises. Its core advantages are: threshold revolution (trading with a minimum of 1 euro), time liberation (24-hour trading from Monday to Friday), and seamless experience (based on Arbitrum Layer2, users do not need to understand complex blockchain technology, and the on-chain synchronous settlement automatically handles dividends, stock splits and other rights to ensure that "coin rights" are equivalent to "equity"). Users can easily trade more than 200 tokenized US stocks or ETFs including NVIDIA, Microsoft, Apple, etc. on its application, with only 0.1% foreign exchange fee and no other hidden costs. This solves almost all traditional bottlenecks that restrict stock liquidity.

4. Opportunities and challenges of “going online” for SMEs

For small and medium-sized listed companies with insufficient liquidity, the Robinhood model provides a new path: exploring cross-border compliance architecture and putting assets on the blockchain (such as "listing overseas and then putting them on the blockchain"). However, this road is full of thorns - legal barriers caused by regulatory differences between countries, technical docking barriers, liquidity risks caused by insufficient market awareness, and potential risks of "being rejected from being put on the blockchain."

This is the core value of the professional RWA accelerator: customizing compliance issuance plans for enterprises, building technical bridges, designing liquidity strategies, and clearing the core obstacles on the road to tokenization.

5. Private equity enters the game: leveraging 60% of silent market value

Robinhood's greater disruption lies in incorporating private equity into the tokenization landscape. Its European platform has launched tokenized stocks of top unlisted technology companies such as SpaceX and OpenAI, and this is just the beginning. The market value of listed companies in the world only accounts for 30%-40%, which means that the remaining 60% of high-quality unlisted assets have efficient and convenient financing and exit channels for the first time.

The RWA Accelerator can be deeply involved in this, helping these non-listed companies design equity chain plans, build compliance frameworks, and accurately match compliant trading venues with underlying public chains (such as choosing the most cost-effective issuance location) to achieve efficient global circulation of assets.

The silent majority of the world's market capitalization - the 60% of unlisted corporate assets - are finding new value outlets on the blockchain.

6. Building the “Internet of Assets”: The Mission of the RWA Accelerator

When blockchain carries stocks, real estate, private equity and even everything tokenized, we are ushering in not only a technological change, but also a paradigm shift in asset ownership. Robinhood's "scalpel" is just the beginning of a new era...

The real proposition is:

Do you choose to be a bystander of the old rules or a definer of the new world?

Whether you are

✅ Listed companies seeking liquidity - breaking the traditional market trading hours and threshold restrictions

✅ Non-listed companies eager for financing - opening up the capital channel for 60% of silent market value

✅ Pioneers in the RWA track - need compliance architecture and issuance implementation plan

The RWA Accelerator is providing the ultimate weapon for these three core players:

▸ Tokenization of all asset categories (equity/real estate/carbon credits)

▸ Global compliance framework + low-cost public chain docking

▸ Liquidity enhancement and economic model design

Help you dissect the trillion-dollar market and define new rules for the asset Internet.
