How can I buy Robinhood stock tokens outside the EU?
One way is Catch: send USDC on Base to the address Catch shows under Add money, pick a Robinhood stock token such as NVDA, and one slide moves your dollars to Robinhood Chain and buys it. The tokens are issued by Robinhood Assets (Jersey) Limited, not Catch, and Robinhood says they are not available to residents of the US, Canada, the UK or Switzerland.

From USDC on Base to a Robinhood stock token
Add money
Withdraw USDC, choose the Base network, and send it to the address Catch shows under Add money. Only send on Base or Robinhood Chain; other networks may be lost. If you already hold USDG on Robinhood Chain, you can send that instead.
Pick the token
Choose a stock on Robinhood Chain, such as Nvidia (NVDA). One balance, held in dollars, covers Base and Robinhood Chain.
Slide once
Check the price and the fee, then slide. If your dollars are on Base, the same slide moves them to Robinhood Chain, adds ETH for network fees there if needed, and buys the token, usually in seconds. Catch charges 0.50% once per move, $0.10 minimum.
What you are buying
NVDA and the other Robinhood tokens in Catch are Robinhood Stock Tokens on Robinhood Chain; Catch lists 69. Robinhood's tokens on Robinhood Chain are tokenised debt securities issued by Robinhood Assets (Jersey) Limited: they give economic exposure to the underlying share but no legal or beneficial rights in it, and Robinhood says each is backed 1:1 by a share held by a licensed custodian.
Robinhood's EU app also sells stock tokens, but Robinhood says those are derivative contracts issued by Robinhood Europe that cannot be sent to other wallets.
Catch has no trading hours. While US markets are closed there is no live share price to compare with, so token prices can move away from the last close. Robinhood mints and redeems its stock tokens only from Monday 02:00 to Saturday 02:00 CET; onchain trading continues outside that window.
Doing it by hand instead
Robinhood says its Stock Tokens can be swapped through Robinhood Wallet, decentralised exchanges and centralised exchanges, where available. On your own, that means bridging dollars to Robinhood Chain, keeping some ETH there for network fees, and swapping from a self-custody wallet. The Robinhood Chain apps page linked below lists the bridges and exchanges Robinhood names.
Where Catch is not a fit
Catch sells stock tokens held in your Catch wallet, not a brokerage account. If you want a brokerage account, Catch is not a fit.
If you live in the US, Catch is not a fit: Coinbase says its stock tokens are not available to persons in the US and other restricted places. Robinhood says its Stock Tokens are not available to residents of the US, Canada, the UK or Switzerland.
Robinhood's own list of restricted places is longer than the list Catch blocks, so check it before you buy.
Catch buys and sells the tokens onchain. If you want to redeem them with the issuer, that goes through Robinhood's own identity checks, not Catch.
