Bernstein analysts project that Robinhood’s blockchain network could generate $160 million in annual fees by 2028, driven primarily by rising demand for tokenized stock trading on the platform.

Key Points

• Bernstein forecasts the Robinhood chain will reach $160 million in annual fee revenue within four years.
• Tokenized stocks now represent 27% of the network's total trading volume, while memecoin activity has declined to 36%.
• The network recently generated $2.13 million in daily fees, positioning it as a leading blockchain by revenue.
• Automated market-making pools on Uniswap are fueling demand by pairing memecoins with stock tokens.
• AMC Entertainment CEO Adam Aron has criticized the tokenized offerings, citing a lack of official affiliation with his company.

Why it Matters

This growth highlights a significant shift toward tokenized equities as a viable revenue stream for major trading platforms. However, the emergence of these products faces regulatory and corporate scrutiny, which could impact the long-term adoption of blockchain-based stock trading.
