Robinhood CEO Says Tokenization Will Make 24/7 Markets the New Normal

Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev believes that once financial assets become fully tokenized, global markets will operate around the clock—and the shift will be irreversible.

He explained that tokenization, which converts traditional assets like stocks and bonds into blockchain-based tokens, will eliminate the concept of closing hours, allowing continuous trading every day of the week.

Tenev compared this coming transformation to the rise of mobile trading, which was once considered impossible but is now standard practice. As tokenized markets gain traction, investors will benefit from real-time liquidity, faster settlements, and broader global participation. According to Tenev, the transition to 24/7 trading will redefine the entire financial landscape, making the old model of limited market hours a thing of the past.
