A memecoin pegged to $HOOD didn’t exist. So we built the middleman.
Robinhood stock trades on Nasdaq. Memecoins trade on-chain. The two never touch, so there has never been a way to deploy a token pegged to $HOOD. That is the gap bankhood closes: every trade pays a fee denominated in ETH, the reserve spends that ETH on real Robinhood Markets, Inc. shares, and holders claim those shares every 5 minutes.

Counters read the indexer. They stay at zero until the first fee is paid on-chain.
The gap
You could not do this before today.
Not because nobody wanted it, but because the two markets have no shared settlement layer. Here is the honest version of the problem and what we actually did about it.
Three dead ends
- 01
Tokens named after HOOD exist, but none of them touch the stock. The ticker is decoration.
- 02
Tokenised-equity venues can list HOOD, and every one of them gates access behind KYC, jurisdiction checks and a whitelist.
- 03
A memecoin cannot be pegged to a stock. Nothing on-chain can force a token's price to track Nasdaq, and no honest project should claim otherwise.
What bankhood does
- 01
So we stopped trying to peg the price. We pegged the fee instead: it is denominated in ETH, which the reserve can actually spend.
- 02
70% of every fee is converted and spent on real HOOD shares through a regulated broker.
- 03
Those shares are pushed back to holders every 5 minutes. Holding BANK accumulates equity whether the token is up or down.
The name is a description of the mechanism, not a promise about price. BANK is a memecoin: it can trade to zero. The HOOD shares distributed before that happens remain with whoever claimed them.
The underlying
Everything the reserve buys is this: HOOD on Nasdaq.
70% of collected fees end up expressed in this chart. When the reserve buys, it buys Robinhood Markets, Inc. common stock at the prices printed here — not a synthetic, not a perp, not an index proxy.

HOOD chart by TradingViewMechanism
Memecoin in, equity out.
There is no clever tokenomics loop here and no rebasing supply. The protocol is a pipe with four segments, and you can watch every segment on the explorer.
- 01
Someone trades BANK
Every market buy or sell pays 3% of notional. The fee is taken on the ETH leg, so it is denominated in ETH rather than in a token whose price moves against us.
- 02
Fees pool in the router
ETH accumulates until the batch clears 0.25 ETH. Batching keeps brokerage commissions from eating small collections and gives the reserve one clean price per fill.
- 03
The reserve buys HOOD
70% of the batch is converted to USD and spent on HOOD common stock during Nasdaq hours. Fills are recorded on-chain with share count and average price.
- 04
Holders claim shares
Each holder accrues pro rata to their balance and can pull their accrued HOOD from the distributor every 5 minutes. Unclaimed accrual never expires.

Positioning
Three ways to express a view on Robinhood.
We are not pretending BANK dominates every column. It does not give you shareholder rights, and it never will. What it does is put real shares in the hands of people who were only ever going to get a chart.

Questions
The parts people push back on.
Longer answers, the pro-rata maths and the full risk disclosures live in the docs.
Do I actually receive HOOD shares, or a token that tracks them?
Why are fees denominated in ETH instead of in BANK?
How often can I claim?
What happens to fees collected while Nasdaq is closed?
Where does the other 30% of fees go?
Is this affiliated with Robinhood?
Is BANK a security?
What stops the deployer from draining the reserve?
Why does nothing happen when the batch is tiny?
