Robinhood has submitted a 42-page proposal to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) seeking regulatory clarity on tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs) to enable compliant on-chain stock trading and modernize U.S. capital markets.The proposal outlines a comprehensive framework that includes federally licensed tokenized asset standards, integrated Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) protocols, and a modified Form S-1 designed specifically for tokenized securities.To facilitate compliant trading, Robinhood plans to launch the Real World Asset Exchange (RRE), operating on the Solana (SOL) and Base blockchains.CEO Vlad Tenev highlighted that tokenization of securities could reinforce the dominance of the U.S. equities market and increase global demand for U.S. companies by fostering broader ownership and financial innovation.The SEC has not yet issued a formal response to Robinhood’s proposal, leaving the outcome and regulatory future open.Industry experts view the proposal as a potential milestone that could bring trillions of dollars in assets onchain within a regulated framework, signaling a new era in traditional finance and digital asset integration.
