About this session
Recent tokenization pilots signal that T+0 equity settlement is no longer theoretical - it is arriving, and it will change how shares are issued, traded, and held. Digital exchanges, wealth managers, platforms and custodians now face a fundamental question: how do you integrate on-chain equities into portfolios and platforms? This session brings together the architects of digital equity tokens to map what the transition actually requires.

About this session
European households maintain high savings rates, yet retail participation in capital markets remains significantly lower than in other major economies. While the EU’s Savings and Investment Union (SIU) provides a visionary policy backdrop, structural barriers—including high fees, share price accessibility, and complex market entry—continue to block the path for the everyday investor. The core challenge is not behavioural; it is a "knowing-doing" gap where the desire to invest is stifled by informational and structural friction.
Join senior leadership from Robinhood and a curated group of executives for a first look at newly released research into the motivations and barriers of the European retail investor. This session will deep-dive into the practical application of stock tokens - MiFID II-regulated instruments backed by listed equities—as a scalable solution to democratise market access.
