Galaxy Digital: Robinhood's 24/7 tokenization plan threatens NYSE revenue

Galaxy Digital said in a report on Friday that Robinhood's tokenization initiative would remove assets from traditional market channels and move them on-chain, directly challenging the centralized liquidity and activity relied upon by large traditional financial (TradFi) exchanges like the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). The platform's architecture is similar to Coinbase's Base and other Rollup models, allowing Robinhood to fully control its sequencer and collect all transaction fees. Galaxy estimates that Base brings in over $150,000 in sequencer fees for Coinbase every day. The report states that by operating the sequencer of Robinhood Chain and controlling tokenized assets, Robinhood's goal is to monetize every layer of the trading stack - from "off-chain trading to on-chain utility."
