Swap BTC for Stock Tokens: Robinhood Chain Expands Non-Custodial Crypto-to-Stock Trading
  • Users can swap BTC directly to stock tokens such as AAPL, AMZN, NVDA, SPY, QQQ, GLD, SLV, SGOV and more, with routes supporting both directions and no custody or intermediate assets involved.

  • Stock Tokens are not available to certain jurisdictions (US persons, Canada, the UK, Switzerland, and other restricted areas); Robinhood lists restricted jurisdictions.

  • Future developments include adding stablecoins (USDC and USDT) on Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, and BNB Chain into Stock Tokens on Robinhood Chain, enabling one-swap paths from stablecoins to tokenised stocks with the same non-custodial model.

  • Stock Tokens are ERC-20 tokens minted on Robinhood Chain and can be held in ordinary wallets and traded on DEXs; BOB Gateway can route BTC into these tokens due to this architecture.

  • BOB Gateway has expanded its Robinhood Chain functionality by adding 44 new routes for stock and ETF tokens, enabling users to swap native BTC into tokenised US stocks and ETFs and vice versa.

  • The system remains non-custodial: swaps are settled atomically via smart contracts, ensuring funds are delivered as quoted without intermediary custody, maintaining end-to-end non-custodial guarantees.

  • Stock Tokens on Robinhood Chain are tokenised debt securities issued by Robinhood Assets (Jersey) Limited; they track the price of underlying stocks or ETFs but do not confer ownership rights in the shares, with on-chain multipliers handling dividends and splits.

  • Available live routes include BTC to and from ETH, USDG, cbBTC, and 44 stock/ETF tokens (e.g., AAPL, AMZN, NVDA, GOOGL, IBM, META, etc.), with a full list accessible in the linked documentation.

  • Users can initiate swaps via the BOB Gateway app or through the Gateway API/SDK, enabling integrators to deploy these routes broadly.
