Tokenization Turns Investing into a Cakewalk — Robinhood’s Wild New Idea! 😜

Folks, hold onto your Bitcoin wallets! Tokenization is here to save the day—or so they say. According to Johann Kerbrat, the Robinhood guy with a fancy title, tokenization is “very important for financial inclusion.” Because who doesn’t want their grandma to own a slice of real estate without selling her kidney? 🏡💰

Speaking at the Consensus 2025 event — yes, Toronto’s version of the Black Friday sale — Kerbrat declared that some real-world assets like real estate and private equity are only available to the “elite,” which apparently is up to 10% of the U.S. population. So, if you’re not wealthy enough to buy Manhattan, don’t worry! Now you can get a tiny piece of it through “fractionalization.” That’s just Wall Street speak for “we’ll sell you a brick-by-brick sliver for the price of a spaceship.” 🚀

Real estate tokenization

Robinhood’s getting chummy with some big shots like BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, Apollo, and VanEck—just your casual group of financial giants, no big deal. They’re all exploring RWA tokenization, which sounds fancy but really just means “we’re making money move faster and more confusing.” Right now, the market cap of onchain RWA is a whopping $22.5 billion with 101,457 asset holders, each with an average of $221,867. You, too, can someday own a fraction of a gig ساختمان!

Stablecoins: The More Stable, The More Coinage 🤑

Kerbrat also predicts a future with “100 stablecoins,” because one just isn’t enough to keep things spicy. Expect stablecoins to become “more specialized,” like gourmet pizza toppings—if your funds need to migrate from the US to Singapore, you’ll just pick a specific stablecoin for that. Simpler than changing pants! The big guys, Tether’s USDt (USDT) and Circle’s USDC, already own most of the market—87%, to be exact. Who knew stablecoins could be so commanding? 💸

“The shift is going toward platforms managing all these stablecoins,” Kerbrat adds—more platforms than you can shake a blockchain at. Meanwhile, some financial folks are crying over dollar-pegged stablecoins, warning they’re riskier than tariffs and mean tweets combined. So, grab your popcorn—this crypto soap opera is just getting started! 🎬

Stablecoin chaos

And remember, folks, in the world of tokenization and stablecoins—who needs reality when you can have a dream, a dystopian dream where your money is as flexible as your grandma’s spaghetti? 🍝💸
