Breaking: Robinhood’s RWA Proposal Could Bring Wall Street Onchain
Robinhood submitted a 42-page SEC proposal to create a federal framework for tokenized real-world assets, aiming to modernize U.S. securities markets.
For years, the financial world has talked about tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs). RWA tokenization is projected to become a $30 trillion market by 2030, according to research from The Trading View. This surge is driven by rising institutional interest in onchain financial products, offering faster settlement, greater transparency, and broader asset access.
The vision has always been tantalizing: frictionless trading of everything from Treasury bills to real estate, recorded transparently on a blockchain, available to all. But despite the headlines and hype, most of the progress has been confined to controlled pilots, sandboxes, and siloed platforms—largely disconnected from the regulated core of finance.
That may be about to change.
