据报道，Robinhood正在开发一个区块链网络，该网络将使欧洲的零售投资者能够交易美国证券。

根据5月7日的彭博社报告，援引熟悉此事的消息来源，此举旨在通过提供标记证券（例如股票）来扩大公司的当地业务。

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.

根据彭博社5月7日的报告，经纪金融科技公司Robinhood（NASDAQ：HOOD）正在开发一个区块链网络，该网络将使欧洲的零售投资者能够交易美国证券。

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.

该报告指出，此举是通过提供股票交易的股票交易来扩大当地业务的一部分。据报道，两家加密货币公司和索拉纳基金会正在竞选该项目。

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.

令牌化是将现实世界中的资产（如股票，房地产或商品）转变为数字代币的过程，这些代币可以在分散的分类帐（称为区块链）上记录和交易。

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.

代币化证券而不是提供直接曝光可以提供几个优势：通过消除传统的金融基础设施，增强的可访问性，更快的和解时间和更快的交易来降低成本。越来越多的经纪公司和投资公司正在探索资产令牌化。例如，据报道，投资巨头Andreessen Horowitz（又名A16Z）计划成立一家专注于区块链和加密初创公司的新公司。

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.

今年早些时候，该经纪公司在立陶宛获得了经纪许可证，使其能够在欧盟提供投资服务。该公司还完成了一项购买加密交易所Bitstamp的协议。

“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.”

“您可以坐在一些软件前，创建硬币，并在5分钟内进行交易……这是一件可怕的事情，” Robinhood CEO CEO Vladimir Tenev在最近的一次采访中发表的声明说。 “如果您将其与IPO过程的繁琐，这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.

该公司的股价在周日美国东部时间上午7:07（格林尼治标准时间11:07）上涨了2.7％。该公司的收入在第一季度下降了8.6％，但仍设法击败了分析师的估计。

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.

据彭博社报道，该经纪公司尚未就该项目达成与仲裁或索拉纳的协议，而三方均拒绝对此事发表评论。

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.

同时，更多的传统金融公司正在探索基于区块链的解决方案。 2018年5月，Banco Santander成为第一家使用区块链进行投资者投票的公司，而美国巨头JP Morgan创建了其区块链平台，名为Onyx。
