THE PERPS.
SPOTGAMMA RESEARCH  •  VOL. 1  •  SYNTHETIC vs TAPE

Quick answer: Cash stock, Classic Stock Tokens, Asset Stock Tokens, Coinbase B20, equity perps, and unofficial ticker copies can share a name — they are parallel instruments, not a pipeline, and none of the on-chain or app products is the listed US share.

Research classification. Not trading advice. Not for US persons. Not the cash stock. Authenticate the contract before mapping any token to a US ticker. See classification / methodology.

Query: How do stock tokens, Classic tokens, and equity perps relate?

How the instruments relate

Not the cash stock. Not a product pipeline.

Classic does not become an Asset token. Left-to-right on this page is reading order, not a conversion path.

Listed market

Cash stock

CASH

  • Listed US share.
  • NYSE / Nasdaq hours.
  • The hedge lands here.

Classic Stock Tokens and Asset Stock Tokens are parallel Robinhood products.

Asset Stock Tokens

RHJ / CARBON

  • Robinhood Assets (Jersey).
  • ERC-20 on Robinhood Chain.
  • Economic exposure. AP-only create/redeem.
  • Collateral and DEX mid live here.

Coinbase B20 is a separate official rail. Never mix its supply or basis with RHJ.

Coinbase B20

CB / B20

  • Base. Coinbase Onchain SPV / ADGM.
  • Beneficial-interest wrapper.
  • Separate from RHJ.
  • Do not mix supply or basis.

Equity perps sit beside the tokens. They connect to cash only if someone hedges externally.

PERP

  • Lighter and Arcus.
  • No expiry. Long plus short nets to zero.
  • Cash only if someone hedges.
  • Funding is peer-to-peer.

Emerging on-ramp. Not tracked.

crumbs.family is a waitlist that claims merchant spend converts to the actual stock in a wallet (Costco to COST, Apple to AAPL), in 120+ countries, with first invites soon. No live volume, no options, and no issuer docs we have verified. It is not an instrument on this map and it is not a tape row.

What this wiki is

A crawlable explainer of the instruments this monitor ranks. Shared tickers are not shared claims. Classic Stock Tokens and Asset Stock Tokens are parallel Robinhood products. Coinbase B20 is a second official rail. Equity perps sit beside the tokens. Unofficial copies stay isolated.

The tape itself lives on the transmission scanner. How rank is built is on classification / methodology. A worked name page — NVDA — shows how those columns attach to one underlier.

Each instrument

  • Classic Stock TokensA Classic Stock Token is a derivative contract between the holder and Robinhood Europe (RHEU), held as an EU-app balance — not withdrawable, not on-chain, and not a claim on the listed share.
  • Asset Stock Tokens (RHJ)An Asset Stock Token is a tokenised debt security issued by Robinhood Assets (Jersey) Limited — ERC-20 economic exposure on Robinhood Chain, not the cash stock, and not a Classic token.
  • Coinbase B20A Coinbase B20 token is a Base-native tokenized-stock wrapper issued via Coinbase Onchain SPV / ADGM — a beneficial-interest rail with its own issuer, chain, decimals, and supply, never mixed with RHJ.
  • Equity perpetual futuresEquity perps on Lighter and Arcus do not move the cash stock by themselves: long plus short nets to zero contract supply, and listed-share impact happens only if someone hedges externally.
  • Unofficial ticker copiesAn unofficial ticker copy is a permissionless token that borrows a name or symbol — no authenticated RHJ contract, no create/redeem bridge, attention only, and never the stock.
  • Cash hedgeA hedge can hit the listed US share when someone buys or sells cash against synthetic inventory; a secondary token trade, a Classic app balance, or a perp book that no one hedges does not automatically move the stock.

How this monitor ranks them

Combined rank is the max of Inventory (perp OI / cash ADV), New risk (ΔOI / today's cash $ volume, or ADV if closed), and Collateral (Δ official effective supply notional / ADV). Carry and Forced are shown but do not enter the default rank. Attention never mixes into those three. Hedge fraction 0/25/50/100% is a scenario, not a measurement. Missing feeds stay blank, never zero.
