Coinbase and Robinhood Compete in Tokenized Stock Trading Market
What happened
Coinbase is utilizing its Base L2 network to compete in the tokenized stock market against established players like Robinhood. Robinhood attracted $146 million in tradeable tokenized stocks shortly before a free-gas promotion was scheduled to expire on September 29. While Robinhood and BNB Chain together handled 88.2% of tokenized-stock trading on decentralized exchanges in early September, this activity was up from 2.3% in June.

Why it matters
The viability of this activity is being questioned as the subsidy ends, leading analysts to suggest that some network activity may evaporate. During the 30 days ending September 18, Robinhood saw $156 million in inflows, while BNB Chain experienced $181 million in outflows, including assets other than stocks.
Major crypto exchanges and platforms, including Kraken, Binance, Coinbase, and Robinhood, are expanding their services to become full investment platforms by integrating traditional stock offerings.
