Key Takeaways
CryptoSlate reports Robinhood refused AMC CEO Adam Aron's demand to halt trading of an AMC-linked tokenized stock product, which provides economic exposure without shareholder rights.
According to CryptoSlate, a dispute has emerged between Robinhood and AMC Entertainment regarding a tokenized stock product. Robinhood's chief legal officer, Dan Gallagher, rejected a demand from AMC CEO Adam Aron to stop trading the AMC-linked Stock Token. Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev stated that the company stands behind the product.
The AMC-linked instrument is issued by Robinhood Assets (Jersey) Limited as a debt security. Holders act as creditors to the Jersey issuer and receive no legal or beneficial interest, voting rights, or direct dividends in AMC. Instead, dividends and stock splits are reflected economically through product mechanics. The prospectus bars offering or selling the tokens in the United States or to U.S. persons.
Aron argued that the product blurs economic exposure and share ownership while separating trading activity from AMC's capital-raising process, and he threatened legal and SEC scrutiny. Robinhood refused to withdraw the product, and the available record shows no regulatory ruling resolving the dispute.
