December 11, 2025 – Robinhood has added Maple Finance’s governance token, $SYRUP, to its crypto trading platform, marking a major step in bringing institutional-grade DeFi products to U.S. retail users. Announced on December 12, 2025, the listing is especially noteworthy because it includes support for New York, one of the most tightly regulated crypto jurisdictions in the country. This milestone expands Maple’s reach and reinforces Robinhood’s deepening commitment to digital assets.
Maple Finance, a leading protocol for undercollateralized lending and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, now reaches millions of retail investors through Robinhood’s 24 million funded accounts. Because $SYRUP is the governance token that captures protocol fees and influences treasury decisions, the listing offers users broader exposure to the surging RWA narrative, a segment that is rapidly attracting institutional capital.
The announcement generated immediate buzz across X, with Robinhood confirming that both $SYRUP and $XCN (Onyxcoin) are now tradable nationwide. Crucially, the inclusion of New York residents signals heightened regulatory alignment, since BitLicense compliance historically limited access to certain tokens.
Maple Finance’s CEO, Sid Powell, hailed the development, reposting Robinhood’s announcement while community members celebrated “a major boost” for liquidity and visibility. As of the listing, $SYRUP hovered around $0.26, experiencing a modest upward move despite broader market volatility.

Market analysts believe the listing strengthens Maple’s distribution funnel. After integrations with Aave, multi-chain expansions, and institutional partnerships, access via Robinhood places $SYRUP in front of mainstream retail audiences. Because Maple’s total value locked has exceeded $5 billion, surpassing several institutional DeFi funds, exposure on a major U.S. retail platform may further accelerate adoption.
Nevertheless, concerns persist. Robinhood’s increasing crypto presence, especially after acquiring Bitstamp and expanding into staking and tokenized stocks, invites heightened regulatory scrutiny. Meanwhile, Maple’s undercollateralized lending model, although backed by real-world asset flows, faces ongoing risk assessments around borrower defaults and evolving U.S. policy, particularly as the SEC intensifies oversight of governance tokens.
Even so, $SYRUP gains a stronger utility narrative through this listing. Maple’s protocol enables onchain credit markets, tokenized Treasury products, and revenue-sharing structures tied to real economic yield. As RWA adoption expands, and as 2026 regulatory frameworks bring clearer guardrails Maple’s token may benefit from improved transparency and renewed investor confidence.
For Robinhood, the listing reinforces its ambition to become a central hub for retail crypto. For Maple, it unlocks access to millions of users and deeper liquidity, another step in the merging worlds of decentralized finance and mainstream trading.
Real voices. Real reactions.
@RobinhoodApp Great to see wider access, especially for NY! Curious to see how this impacts liquidity for both Syrup and XCN in the coming weeks.
@RobinhoodApp Syrup always heeere
@RobinhoodApp Robinhood listings usually bring some extra market attention.
