Odaily reports: Vlad Tenev, CEO of fintech company Robinhood, said the US tokenized market needs more durable regulatory rules. On the company's third-quarter earnings call, he stated that the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)'s innovation exemption is a positive step, but uncertainty in regulatory rules could deter investors from committing substantial assets to the tokenized market.Tenev said that establishing further rules or passing legislation would help provide long-term regulatory certainty. Robinhood plans to launch tokenized private company equity products overseas; in the US, the company is seeking a compliant path that fits within existing investor accreditation restrictions.Robinhood currently offers about 200 tokenized equities, backed by underlying shares, but the products are structured as tokenized debt securities and do not carry the same shareholder rights as traditional stocks, and therefore do not meet the SEC's innovation exemption requirements. In the third quarter, the company's crypto revenue fell 55% year-over-year to $120 million, while crypto notional trading volume dropped 38% to $50 billion. (Cointelegraph)

Odaily reports: Ondo has announced that 15 tokenized stocks and ETFs are now live on Robinhood Chain, with 11 of them open for trading in StablePair liquidity pools on Uniswap v4. The pools allow traders to swap directly between Ondo Stocks and Robinhood Stock Tokens that track the same underlying assets, while liquidity providers can earn fees by providing liquidity.Ondo stated that its tokenized stocks support round-the-clock minting and redemption, providing traders with an additional source of liquidity, exit channels, and arbitrage opportunities during periods when Robinhood Stock Tokens suspend minting and redemption on weekends, helping to narrow the price deviation between on-chain prices and the underlying asset prices. The 15 assets launched this time also include 4 assets that do not yet have corresponding Robinhood Stock Tokens, such as Robinhood (HOODon), iShares China Large-Cap ETF (FXIon), BitMine (BMNRon), and the United States Copper Index Fund (CPERon).Ondo Stocks can be bridged between Robinhood Chain and BNB Chain or Ethereum via Ondo Bridge, and can be minted and redeemed on the latter two.

Odaily Reports: Uniswap Labs has launched Aggregator Hooks, integrating external decentralized exchange quotes into its v4 routing system on Ethereum mainnet, Base, and Robinhood Chain within its web app and API. At launch, seven external sources are integrated; Uniswap claims this covers over 90% of DEX activity across supported networks, though it does not guarantee optimal execution for every swap. The routing engine can compare quotes block by block and settle swaps involving both Uniswap and external venues within a single transaction, without requiring additional token approvals for tapping external liquidity. Swaps routed through Aggregator Hooks can generate protocol fees that support UNI burning, and developers can integrate new routes via the Uniswap API; the actual impact on spreads and trading volume still needs to be verified through live trading.
Lending protocol Morpho announced that Robinhood stock tokens are now live on Morpho, allowing users to use stock tokens as collateral to borrow stablecoins. Any application can integrate with the credit market for stock tokens, with Morpho serving as the credit network and Robinhood Chain, under Robinhood Crypto, providing the tokenization infrastructure.
Uniswap Labs has announced the launch of Aggregator Hooks, bringing aggregation capabilities to Uniswap v4. The mechanism uses Hooks to wrap external liquidity sources as v4 pools and is now live on the Uniswap web app and API, covering Ethereum mainnet, Base, and Robinhood Chain. On the first day, it supports 7 external sources including Curve, Fluid, and PancakeSwap, with more networks to be added gradually. Per-block routing will fetch the latest quotes from integrated sources, build the optimal path between Uniswap pools and external sources, and settle within a single transaction without requiring new approvals; the related swaps will incur a protocol fee, which will be used for UNI burning.
Pump.fun co-founder and COO Alon posted on X that the platform's in-house cross-chain bridge, Pump Bridge, is now available to all app users. According to the test data he published, compared with the previously used cross-chain service provider Relay, Pump Bridge improves buy execution speed by about 2x, reduces transaction error rate by 92% from over 11% to under 1%, and on average yields more tokens for the same capital, while currently charging no additional cross-chain fees.Alon noted that previously, roughly 1 in every 9 cross-chain buys on Relay encountered an error, with a typical transaction taking close to 4 seconds and about 10% of transactions taking more than 7 seconds. He also said that the social trading app FOMO is still using Relay.The above results come from randomized testing conducted between September 28 and October 7, covering networks including Robinhood, BSC, Base, Arc, and Ink but excluding Ethereum, with a total of 416,669 transaction results recorded, of which 383,326 were used for transaction timing statistics and 35,333 USDC buys under $500 were used to compare execution performance.In addition, Alon said that the platform fee rate for the Pump.fun app is 0.45%, Callout rewards are distributed at at least $300,000 per day and have totaled about $20 million over the past two months. During the limited-time referral reward campaign, referrers can receive all platform fees generated by referred users, while the platform says it will not retain any platform fee revenue.

According to the latest research report published by Delphi Digital, Dealers Always Win: Why Speculation is the Theme of the Next Decade, Robinhood (HOOD), Hyperliquid (HYPE), and Lighter (LIT) are listed as core targets for positioning in this investment theme. In evaluating these assets, Robinhood demonstrates the advantage of an integrated broker bundling event contracts, options, and cryptocurrency distribution; Hyperliquid, leveraging permissionless on-chain perpetuals and expansion protocols such as HIP-3 and HIP-4, is evolving into an on-chain clearing layer supporting multi-asset round-the-clock trading, while continuously repurchasing HYPE through protocol fees; and Lighter, which constructs its order book using zero-knowledge proofs, has also built competitive moats through zero retail fees and cross-platform distribution partnerships. Collectively, they form an infrastructure exposure designed to capture global speculative demand.
