Robinhood executive: Demand for U.S. stocks is growing overseas, and tokenization will drive global investment

According to CoinDesk, Johan Kerbrat, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Crypto at Robinhood, stated at the Consensus Miami conference that overseas investors' demand for U.S. stocks (especially those related to AI) is growing, but access channels remain limited in many regions.

Kerbrat pointed out that features such as tokenization, 24/7 trading, and instant settlement will enable investors to build global portfolios rather than being limited to a single-country strategy. Robinhood has launched tokenized stock products in Europe and plans to expand access to asset classes traditionally limited to accredited investors, such as private equity. Kerbrat emphasized that the goal is to provide investors with the option to participate in investments before new assets go public.
