Speaking during Korea Blockchain Week 2026, Robinhood Crypto general manager Johann Kerbrat said the company buys the corresponding shares of the underlying firms and keeps those holdings in custody for the product. He added that when users trade Robinhood’s stock tokens, the tokens represent real stock assets behind the scenes, not merely derivatives based on changes in share prices. The remarks were cited by Cointelegraph and carried by Odaily. The statement addresses how Robinhood structures the product and what stands behind the tokenized exposure offered to users.
