Robinhood Stock Tokens are instruments designed to provide economic exposure to referenced securities such as US shares and exchange-traded funds. Robinhood’s Chain documentation describes the onchain version as debt securities issued by Robinhood Assets (Jersey) Limited, not as ownership of the referenced company.[1]

Rights, restrictions and risk
Robinhood states that onchain Stock Tokens carry a high level of risk and are not appropriate for every investor. They are not registered under US securities laws and may not be offered or delivered in the United States or to US persons. Other jurisdictions are also restricted.[1]
Classic Stock Tokens expose holders to market movement and to Robinhood counterparty risk. Corporate actions involving the referenced security can affect positions and may temporarily halt trading.[5]
