Stock Tokens on Robinhood Chain drew 59% of their decentralized exchange volume outside regular US market hours between September 24 and October 23, 2026. The tokens are not available to US residents, and weekend trading depends on tokens already in circulation.
Data covering September 24 to October 23, 2026 shows that 59% of decentralized exchange volume in Stock Tokens on Robinhood Chain happened outside regular US market hours. That includes $532 million traded on weekends, when the New York Stock Exchange is closed.
Stock Tokens generate $3.68 billion in volume over roughly one month
Across that roughly one-month window, Stock Tokens generated $3.68 billion in trading volume. Weekend activity alone made up 14% of the total.
Stock Tokens are ERC-20 tokens that give holders price exposure to US stocks and ETFs, and they track the underlying asset. Secondary trading runs 24/7 on decentralized exchanges. Uniswap and Rialto are among the venues supporting the tokens. Minting and burning, which create new tokens or retire existing ones, follow a narrower Monday through Saturday schedule.
As of October 12, 2026, cumulative Stock Token trading volume had reached $15 billion. The tokens counted approximately 200,000 holders spread across more than 120 countries.
A network built for tokenized assets
Robinhood Chain went live on July 1, 2026. It is an Ethereum Layer 2, a separate network that settles back to Ethereum while handling transactions more cheaply and quickly, and it was built with tokenized assets in mind.
However, Stock Tokens are not available to US residents, so the people trading tokenized US equities around the clock are outside the US. For a trader in Asia or parts of Europe, regular US market hours can fall in the middle of the night or deep into the evening.
Weekend trading relies on existing supply
Because minting and burning only operate Monday through Saturday, weekend trading relies entirely on tokens already in circulation. When the underlying stock market is shut and new supply cannot be created on Sundays, token prices could drift from where the underlying shares eventually reopen.
