first_img Robinhood has launched IPO Access in the UK, allowing retail investors to subscribe to new US stocks at the offering price

Robinhood announced the launch of its IPO Access service in the UK, allowing retail investors to submit purchase requests at the official offering price before new stocks officially trade on the US market. Users can submit applications through their regular investment accounts, with the app providing the prospectus and SEC documents for each available new stock for investors to review before deciding whether to subscribe. Robinhood stated that it is collaborating with a UK public offering platform provider to offer access to eligible initial public offerings.This service was first launched in the US in 2021, and Robinhood claims to have participated in over 50 IPOs since then, opening it up to millions of US customers. Jordan Sinclair, President of Robinhood UK, stated that bringing IPO Access to the UK aims to provide the same opportunities for UK retail investors to participate in investments in the next generation of innovative public companies.This launch is a continuation of Robinhood's expansion in the UK. Last year, the company acquired the exchange Bitstamp for $200 million and opened cryptocurrency trading to eligible UK customers through Bitstamp in August of this year, supporting the buying and selling of over 50 cryptocurrencies in its main UK investment app, alongside stocks, ISAs, options, and futures. In July of this year, Robinhood launched the Robinhood Chain mainnet and provided eligible users with 24/7 trading of tokenized stock products. Robinhood stated that there are no commissions for IPO subscriptions but cautioned that participating in IPO investments carries significant risks, with stock price volatility potentially being high, especially in the early stages of listing.

first_img Launch platform Ignition: Former members sell 15 million tokens

The official account of the token launch platform Ignition on Robinhood Chain stated that the team provided an explanation after being silent for about a week. On October 23, a team member with access to the developer wallet (0x7d17...69B9) transferred 15 million IGNITION from that wallet to a new wallet without the consent of the other members and sold it seconds later. The proceeds were sent to their personal wallet, which had previously been receiving their share of creator fees. The official statement indicated that this person no longer agrees with the project's direction and is no longer part of the project.The official statement mentioned that the creator fee permissions have been transferred to a new wallet that is solely controlled by the existing team. The launch platform is still operational, the Hook Layer testnet continues to run, and the Hook Pad for developers remains open. Future plans include transferring creator fees to a multi-signature wallet controlled by the team to prevent a single person from transferring again; publicly disclosing the fee, treasury, and team wallet lists; advancing the Hook Layer mainnet; and resuming weekly updates. The official also stated that related operations had previously been visible on-chain and will be explained by the team in advance.According to the project's official website, Ignition is a token launch platform deployed on Robinhood Chain, with issued tokens being ERC20 with a fixed supply, trading in the Uniswap v4 pool since the initial block. Hook Layer is its proprietary chain built on Robinhood Chain, with gas fees paid in IGNITION, and developers can configure hook modules for tokens through Hook Pad.

The data shows that due to a slowdown in cryptocurrency trading activity and increased operating expenses, overshadowing its strong performance in options and prediction markets, the quarterly profits fell below Wall Street expectations. In the third quarter, its cryptocurrency trading revenue decreased significantly by 55% year-on-year to 120 million USD. Although options trading revenue grew by 31% and event contract revenue surged more than sixfold, driving overall trading revenue up 19% year-on-year to 867 million USD, total operating expenses also increased by 16% year-on-year to 739 million USD.

first_img Robinhood CEO: Uncertainty in U.S. token regulation makes it difficult for large assets to enter the market

According to Cointelegraph, Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev stated during the third quarter earnings call on Tuesday that there is uncertainty about whether U.S. tokenization rules can be sustained in the long term, which may hinder investors from allocating large assets into the tokenized market. He described the five-year innovation exemption granted by the SEC in September as "a very positive step," but emphasized that further rule-making or legislation is needed to bring long-term regulatory certainty.Tenev noted that the uncertainty regarding the direction of the rules after five years is likely to become an obstacle to allocating large assets to this technology when communicating with clients. Tokenized stocks have previously faced resistance from traditional issuers, with 16 companies including Microsoft, Alphabet, and Goldman Sachs opposing their stocks being listed on the proposed OKXICE platform. AMC CEO Adam Aron has also publicly criticized Robinhood's tokenized stock products.Robinhood currently offers about 200 stock tokens on the Robinhood Chain, supported by the underlying stocks, but constructed in the form of tokenized debt securities, providing only economic exposure without dividend and voting rights, thus falling outside the scope of the SEC innovation exemption that requires rights parity. Tenev stated that tokenized stocks of private companies will be launched overseas, while seeking a path that complies with accredited investor restrictions within the United States. Binance Research's baseline scenario predicts that the market size could reach $34.9 billion by 2030, with approximately $4.43 billion as of September 15.
