Robinhood’s push into tokenized equities continued this Friday with new smart contracts, about 10 days after it deployed over 400 transactions on its blockchain deployer Arbitrum address.
According to blockchain data from Arbiscan, the address labeled “Robinhood: Deployer” executed 500 separate smart contract deployments for tokenized stock assets on Wednesday.
This is the largest single-day deployment of tokenized stock contracts from the company since it began issuing them on Arbitrum in May. In total, the same deployer address has now launched 1,997 stock token contracts on the layer-2 Ethereum network.
Robinhood Arbitrum layer sees 1,050 contract deployments in December
Arbitrum is the preferred venue for the trading platform’s tokenized real-world assets issuance for European investors. Per on-chain data charts compiled by Entropy Advisors on Dune Analytics, the recent deployments add to the exponential rise in total tokenized value in Robinhood-issued assets.

In June, tokenized value hovered close to zero as early contracts went live, but the cumulative value crossed the $1 million mark just a month later, when more equities and exchange-traded funds were introduced.
In early September, total tokenized value surpassed $5 million owing to steady minting activity and limited burn events.
The number of assets tokenized moved from under 200 assets in July to roughly 500 by early September, then climbed again to around 800 in November. Adding the December 17 deployment spike, the count surged past 1,500 assets and is approaching 2,000.
ETFs and big tech stocks lead tokenized value
Looking at the list of assets tokenized, the YieldMax MSTR Option Income Strategy ETF accounts for the largest share in terms of value. The ETF, trading under the symbol MSTY, has approximately $1.20 million in tokenized amounts, or 9.15% of the total.
Alphabet Class A shares follow closely, contributing about 7.98% of the total tokenized market cap. Microsoft ranks third, with roughly $792,020 tokenized, accounting for just over 6%.

Robinhood closes 2025 with more blockchain products
Robinhood announced in early December that it would be launching several crypto-related features throughout the month as it works to become a global digital finance platform. In the United States, the company said support for Ethereum and Solana staking in New York went live on Tuesday, pending a nationwide reach once regulatory approval is secured.
In Europe, the stock trading platform added perpetual futures contracts with up to 7x leverage on assets including XRP, Dogecoin, and SUI to its lineup, which also includes Bitcoin and Ether perpetuals.
“When we set out to expand our perpetual futures offering in the EU, we looked closely at customer behavior, requests, market standards, and the evolving regulatory environment,” the company wrote in a statement. “We found that many advanced traders want access and flexibility, but they also value transparency and guardrails.”
As reported by Cryptopolitan, Robinhood shares are up 214% this year, beating the US market index S&P 500’s meager 15% profit.
