Quick answer: A 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.

Query: What is a Classic Stock Token?

What you hold

Classic Stock Tokens are derivative contracts between the holder and Robinhood Europe, UAB (RHEU). They are priced to the underlying security without granting rights to it. The balance lives in the Robinhood Europe app. It is not withdrawable to a wallet. It is not an ERC-20 the holder can take on-chain. It confers no shareholder rights.

Robinhood's 1 July 2026 newsroom disclosure renamed this first generation to Classic and said the product continues in the Robinhood Europe app. That rename is a label, not a conversion.

Parallel to Asset tokens — not a sequence

Classic does not become an Asset Stock Token. The two Robinhood products sit side by side. Asset tokens are tokenised debt securities issued by Robinhood Assets (Jersey) Limited and live as ERC-20s on Robinhood Chain. Classic stays an RHEU app contract. Do not read a left-to-right diagram as a pipeline from Classic to Asset.

What this is not

Cash-market bridge

This monitor does not treat a Classic app balance as on-chain inventory or as a create/redeem print. Any cash impact still requires someone to hedge in the listed share. See methodology for how official RHJ supply and perp open interest are ranked instead.
