據報導，Robinhood正在開發一個區塊鍊網絡，該網絡將使歐洲的零售投資者能夠交易美國證券。

根據5月7日的彭博社報告，援引熟悉此事的消息來源，此舉旨在通過提供標記證券（例如股票）來擴大公司的當地業務。

According to a May 7 report by Bloomberg, brokerage fintech firm, Robinhood (NASDAQ:HOOD), is developing a blockchain network that will allow retail investors in Europe to trade US securities.

根據彭博社5月7日的報告，經紀金融科技公司Robinhood（NASDAQ：HOOD）正在開發一個區塊鍊網絡，該網絡將使歐洲的零售投資者能夠交易美國證券。

The move is part of efforts to expand its local presence by offering trading of tokenized securities, such as stocks, the report notes, citing sources familiar with the matter. Two crypto firms, Arbitrum and the Solana Foundation, are reportedly in the running to become partners in the project.

該報告指出，此舉是通過提供股票交易的股票交易來擴大當地業務的一部分。據報導，兩家加密貨幣公司和索拉納基金會正在競選該項目。

Tokenization is the process of turning real-world assets, like stocks, real estate, or commodities, into digital tokens that can be recorded and traded on a decentralized ledger, known as a blockchain.

令牌化是將現實世界中的資產（如股票，房地產或商品）轉變為數字代幣的過程，這些代幣可以在分散的分類帳（稱為區塊鏈）上記錄和交易。

Tokenizing securities instead of providing direct exposure can offer several advantages: reduced costs by eliminating traditional financial infrastructure, enhanced accessibility, faster settlement times, and quicker transactions. More brokerages and investment firms are exploring asset tokenization. For example, investment giant Andreessen Horowitz (a.k.a A16z) is reportedly planning to launch a new firm focused on blockchain and crypto startups.

代幣化證券而不是提供直接曝光可以提供幾個優勢：通過消除傳統的金融基礎設施，增強的可訪問性，更快的和解時間和更快的交易來降低成本。越來越多的經紀公司和投資公司正在探索資產令牌化。例如，據報導，投資巨頭Andreessen Horowitz（又名A16Z）計劃成立一家專注於區塊鍊和加密初創公司的新公司。

Earlier this year, the brokerage firm secured a brokerage license in Lithuania, allowing it to provide investment services across the European Union. The firm has also completed an agreement to buy crypto exchange Bitstamp.

今年早些時候，該經紀公司在立陶宛獲得了經紀許可證，使其能夠在歐盟提供投資服務。該公司還完成了一項購買加密交易所Bitstamp的協議。

“You can sit down in front of some software, create a coin and have it be trading in 5 minutes ... That’s a scary thing,” said copy of a statement made by Robinhood CEO Vladimir Tenev in a recent interview. “It’s also an incredibly powerful thing if you juxtapose it with how cumbersome the IPO process is.”

“您可以坐在一些軟件前，創建硬幣，並在5分鐘內進行交易……這是一件可怕的事情，” Robinhood CEO CEO Vladimir Tenev在最近的一次採訪中發表的聲明說。 “如果您將其與IPO過程的繁瑣，這也是一件非常有力的事情。”

The company’s shares rose 2.7% by 7:07 AM ET (11:07 GMT) on Sunday. The company’s revenue fell 8.6% in the first quarter, but it still managed to beat analysts’ estimates.

該公司的股價在周日美國東部時間上午7:07（格林尼治標準時間11:07）上漲了2.7％。該公司的收入在第一季度下降了8.6％，但仍設法擊敗了分析師的估計。

The brokerage firm has yet to reach an agreement with either Arbitrum or Solana for the project, while all three parties declined to comment on the matter, Bloomberg reports.

據彭博社報導，該經紀公司尚未就該項目達成與仲裁或索拉納的協議，而三方均拒絕對此事發表評論。

Meanwhile, more traditional financial firms are exploring blockchain-based solutions. In May 2018, Banco Santander became the first company to use a blockchain for investor voting, while US giant JP Morgan has created its blockchain platform called Onyx.

同時，更多的傳統金融公司正在探索基於區塊鏈的解決方案。 2018年5月，Banco Santander成為第一家使用區塊鏈進行投資者投票的公司，而美國巨頭JP Morgan創建了其區塊鏈平台，名為Onyx。
