Robinhood's stock tokens are debt from Jersey, with no rights in the shares
The tokens are debt of a Jersey firm. They track US shares, grant no rights in them, and may not be sold to U.S. persons.
Robinhood’s own page calls Stock Tokens tokenised debt, issued by Robinhood Assets (Jersey) Limited[1]. The buyer holds debt from a firm in Jersey, not a share.
The same page says the tokens track US shares and ETFs. They give the holder no rights in them, or against the firm that issued them[2].
They are not registered under U.S. law, and no U.S. person may be sold one[3]. The shares trade in the US. The wallets that may hold the token do not.
The firm behind the token is filed under number 162428[4]. The record lists US shares, sold as debt, and barred from U.S. persons[3].
