Robinhood Executive: Still advancing SEC the process for an innovation exemption for tokenized stocks
BlockBeats reports that October 2，Robinhood’s crypto business head Johann Kerbrat stated during Korea Blockchain Week 2026 that Robinhood is still advancing the process concerning the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)’s Innovation Exemption for tokenized stocks.
Johann Kerbrat stated that Robinhood’s tokenized stock trading volume could eventually reach the regulatory limits set by SEC.SEC’s previously introduced Innovation Exemption allows eligible tokenized securities trading platforms to conduct on-chain stock trading under relevant conditions, but limits the number of tradable stocks and trading volume.
At present,Robinhood is exploring tokenized stock-related business, and SEC’s Innovation Exemption framework requires holders of tokenized stocks to enjoy the same rights as holders of traditional stocks, and imposes conditions concerning tradable instruments, trading volume, disclosure, and other matters.

AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
Tokenized stocks can be understood as products traded using blockchain technology while still corresponding to stock ownership rights. The “Innovation Exemption” mentioned in the report allows eligible platforms to conduct on-chain stock trading within the prescribed scope while complying with limits on the number of stocks, trading volume, holders’ rights, information disclosure, and other matters.
Why it matters to readers
This process concerns whether Robinhood can continue exploring tokenized stock business under relevant regulatory conditions, and also shows that trading scale and arrangements for holders’ rights are constraints that the business must address.
Beginners should view this as news that the regulatory process is still progressing, rather than as an indication that approval has already been granted or that the product has already launched; watch for subsequent SEC confirmation, official documents, and clear business arrangements.
