At the end of June 2025, Robinhood launched blockchain stock tokens of more than 200 US stocks and ETFs in the European market, opening a new chapter in digital securities trading. The product is based on the Arbitrum Layer 2 blockchain and supports zero commissions, 24/7 trading, and in-app dividends. Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev has publicly stated that digital assets will become the backbone of the future global financial system, which is not only a supplement to the traditional financial system, but also a profound change.
On July 2, MyStonks, the worlds leading U.S. stock tokenization trading platform, announced that the number of platform users has exceeded 10,000, and the number of its stock tokens has exceeded 146, covering multiple core industries such as technology, finance, consumption, medicine, semiconductors, energy, aviation, and Chinese stocks. MyStonks not only enriches the types of stock tokens, but also innovatively launches multiple short-selling ETF tokens, providing investors with more diverse investment strategy options. Although the two are different in market positioning and development paths, they both play an important role in promoting the compliance and globalization of digital securities.
Driven by innovative platforms such as Robinhood and MyStonks, the digital securities industry is undergoing a profound transformation. To understand the driving force and future trends of this transformation, we need to start with the overall industry environment and technological development.
Profound changes and trends in the digital securities industry
Traditional stock markets have long had problems such as high barriers to entry, limited trading hours, and complex cross-border capital flows. Investors, especially international investors, often face challenges with fund conversion, regulatory differences, and inefficient trading. The rise of blockchain technology and real asset tokenization (RWA) provides innovative solutions to these pain points. By mapping traditional assets to blockchain, digital securities enable round-the-clock trading of assets, seamless cross-border circulation, and significantly lower investment barriers.
The gradual clarification of the regulatory environment is a key driving force for the rapid development of digital securities. The improvement of regulatory frameworks such as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the EU MiFID II provides a legal and compliant basis for digital securities products. Regulators emphasize investor protection, market transparency and anti-money laundering measures, which forces platforms to invest a lot of resources in compliance, which is also one of the industry thresholds.
In addition, the digital securities market has great potential. According to a joint report by Ripple and BCG, the scale of global tokenized assets is expected to reach 18 trillion US dollars in the next decade. As technology matures and regulation improves, digital securities will become a mainstream investment channel and promote profound changes in the global capital market.
Faced with the rapid development and stricter regulation of the digital securities industry, MyStonks has created a rich and diverse stock token ecosystem with its professional asset custody and compliance system, actively responded to market demand and promoted industry innovation.

MyStonks is the worlds leading US stock tokenization trading platform, dedicated to the digitization and on-chain trading of traditional financial assets through blockchain technology.

The pharmaceutical sector includes industry leaders such as Johnson Johnson, Pfizer, Eli Lilly and Gilead, reflecting the continued growth potential of the healthcare industry. The semiconductor industry includes key companies such as TSMC, Qualcomm, Texas Instruments and ASML, supporting the underlying hardware needs of the digital economy.
Leading companies in the energy and aviation sectors, such as ExxonMobil, Chevron, Boeing and Lockheed Martin, reflect the stability and strategic value of traditional industries. In terms of Chinese concept stocks, the participation of well-known companies such as Alibaba, JD.com, Baidu, Pinduoduo, New Oriental and Bilibili has opened a window to Chinas new economy for investors.
In the ETF sector, MyStonks has innovatively launched a number of short ETF tokens, such as the Nasdaq 100 Triple Short ETF, Tesla Daily 2x Short ETF, Semiconductor Triple Short ETF, and MicroStrategy Short ETF, providing investors with flexible risk management and diversified strategy options. At the same time, crypto-related stock tokens such as MicroStrategy, Riot Platforms, and Bitfarms have also enriched the platforms digital asset investment dimensions and satisfied the focus on emerging asset classes.
In addition to a wide range of spot stock token products, MyStonks continues to optimize platform functions and user experience, actively deploys future contract derivatives, and strives to provide investors with more comprehensive digital asset investment solutions.
Product upgrade and future development prospects
MyStonks has recently completed a number of product upgrades, significantly improving user experience and transaction efficiency.

It plans to launch innovative financial tools such as contract derivatives on the basis of existing spot stock token transactions to create a richer and more flexible digital asset ecosystem. Contract derivatives, as an indispensable risk management and investment tool in the financial market, can help investors achieve leveraged trading, hedging risks and diversified asset allocation. MyStonks plans to introduce a variety of derivative contracts including perpetual contracts, combined with smart contract technology, to achieve on-chain automated trading and settlement to ensure the efficiency and security of transactions.
