Metric has launched a decentralized exchange built specifically for tokenized real-world assets, with stated compatibility across three networks: Robinhood Chain, BNB Chain, and Ethereum. The launch marks one of the first DEX deployments to name Robinhood's chain as a supported network alongside the two established blockchains.
Tokenized real-world assets are blockchain representations of off-chain instruments, including equities, bonds, real estate, and commodities, where ownership or economic exposure is encoded in a smart contract rather than held through a traditional custodian. Metric's DEX is designed to facilitate on-chain trading of these instruments, according to the launch announcement.

The protocol positions itself as infrastructure for the tokenized RWA segment, a category that has drawn increasing protocol activity as issuers and builders work to bring regulated financial instruments onto public blockchains. Securitize, for example, has extended its tokenized fund reach to the Sei Network, while tokenized stock DEX volumes on newer chains have surged, with Base crossing $100 million in daily tokenized stock DEX volume for the first time.
Metric's announcement names Robinhood Chain, BNB Chain, and Ethereum as supported networks. Robinhood Chain is a relatively new entrant to the public blockchain landscape, and its inclusion here is notable given that most RWA protocols have prioritized Ethereum and its Layer 2 ecosystem or BNB Chain as initial deployment targets.

BNB Chain has seen accelerating tokenized asset activity, including after-hours trading mechanics for tokenized stocks that pushed the sector near $3.3 billion in total value. Ethereum remains the dominant settlement layer for institutional-grade tokenized assets, hosting the largest share of on-chain RWA issuance by protocol count and total value locked, per DeFiLlama's Ethereum chain data.
The announcement does not specify whether all three chains are live simultaneously at launch or whether one serves as the primary deployment with others on a phased timeline. Bridge mechanics, shared liquidity pools, and cross-chain settlement architecture are not addressed in the available announcement details.
A DEX focused on tokenized RWAs would, if fully operational, let traders swap on-chain representations of real-world instruments without routing through a centralized intermediary or a traditional brokerage. The key distinction from spot crypto trading is that the underlying asset has off-chain legal and custodial dependencies, meaning the technical DEX layer operates alongside, rather than replacing, conventional compliance and settlement infrastructure.
Whether Metric's DEX includes permissioned access controls, KYC gating, or jurisdiction-specific restrictions on asset availability has not been confirmed in the launch details. These factors materially affect who can access the platform and which tokenized instruments will be tradeable.
The launch announcement does not disclose which specific RWA categories or individual instruments will be listed, the fee structure, liquidity sourcing model, or custodial arrangements for the underlying real-world assets. Network-specific rollout timing and whether Robinhood Chain, BNB Chain, and Ethereum integrations each carry the same feature set are also unconfirmed.
Security disclosures, smart contract audit status, and the legal entity structure behind issuance on each chain are additional items that traders and institutional participants will need before assessing the platform's suitability. Eligible jurisdictions, a critical factor for any product involving tokenized securities or funds, have not been addressed in available materials.
Metric is launching a decentralized exchange focused on tokenized real-world assets, enabling on-chain trading of blockchain-represented off-chain instruments across multiple networks.
The launch announcement names Robinhood Chain, BNB Chain, and Ethereum as supported networks. The depth of each integration and whether all three are simultaneously live has not been confirmed.
Asset availability, eligible jurisdictions, fee structure, liquidity mechanics, smart contract audit status, custody arrangements, and network-specific rollout timing are all absent from the current announcement details. Readers should consult Metric's official launch materials for specifications not covered here.
