Robinhood's Meme Coin-Stock Pairings Hit 9-Figure Mark
Roninhood's infrastructure allowing traders to pair real stocks with meme coins has become a 9-figure business.
The platform's stock tokens are digital securities backed 1:1 by underlying shares held with a custodian, with each carrying a live on-chain price feed.
Traders can swap one directly for the other inside a liquidity pool, though that reference price doesn’t control pool activity.
Robinhood co-founder Vlad Tenev pushed back against AMC CEO Adam Aron's demand to stop trading a token tied to AMC shares without the company’s involvement.
The SEC granted temporary exemptions letting certain venues trade tokenized US stocks on-chain under specified conditions, giving this category its first real regulatory foothold.
Roninhood is pushing further too, announcing plans for weekend US stock trading alongside leveraged perpetual futures on select cryptocurrencies.
The meme coin pairing craze has already cooled sharply from its September peak, but it served as a real stress test for Roninhood Chain’s infrastructure under extreme speculative volume.
