Summary
Robinhood is rolling out tokenized U.S. stocks to customers in over 120 countries through its Robinhood Chain blockchain, excluding U.S. persons. This is a significant product expansion that leverages its recently launched Layer-2 network to tap global demand for U.S. equities.

The move follows a strong Q2 with record revenue and a $2.2B convertible note raise, giving Robinhood capital to fund international growth. Watch for user adoption metrics and any regulatory pushback on tokenized securities.
