Robinhood's tokenized stocks already near SEC volume limits

  • —The SEC's five-year exemption, granted Sept. 17, 2026, caps tokenized symbols and trading volumes
  • —Robinhood's stock tokens are issued as debt securities via a Jersey entity and sold in 120+ countries, but not in the US
  • —Kerbrat said tokenized equity volumes are already high enough to hit some of the exemption's limits
  • —Robinhood plans in-kind redemption and voting rights, a roadmap predating its public spat with AMC's CEO
Why it matters: If the most active tokenized-equity venue is already testing the ceiling of a brand-new SEC exemption, the regulator may soon have to revisit the rules.
