AAAU, issued by Robinhood Europe, UAB, is a tokenized-commodities derivative contract that gives onchain price exposure to Goldman Sachs Physical Gold ETF, a U.S.-listed commodity-linked exchange-traded product, without conveying ownership of the underlying units [S1][S2][S3].

The token tracks the live price of Goldman Sachs Physical Gold ETF (AAAU), with each token corresponding to one underlying unit [S1][S3]. Tokens are displayed in U.S. dollars and bought or sold in euros, and the holder bears a 0.10% foreign exchange fee on each order with no added spreads and no commissions from Robinhood [S4][S3][S5]. If the underlying issues a distribution and eligibility requirements are met, an equivalent cash amount is passed through in euros, free of the foreign exchange fee [S6][S2].

Robinhood Europe, UAB, company code 306377915, is a Lithuanian entity authorized and regulated by the Bank of Lithuania, offering these products under MiFID II as over-the-counter derivative contracts [S2][S1]. Each tokenholder's claim is contractual against Robinhood Europe rather than a right to the hedged units, which are held by a U.S.-licensed institution [S1][S2]. The product is available to eligible retail customers across thirty EU and EEA countries who pass KYC, AML and an appropriateness assessment [S5][S4]. There is no in-kind redemption; holders exit by selling in-app, with a T+1 withdrawal hold, and bear Robinhood's insolvency risk [S4][S1].

Tokens are issued natively on Arbitrum, an Ethereum Layer 2, and are recorded onchain when the derivative contract is entered [S5][S1]. They cannot be transferred to external wallets [S2]. Trading runs in-app from Monday to Saturday around the clock, with orders queued outside those hours, pricing tracks the U.S.-listed instrument, and sell proceeds settle for withdrawal at T+1 [S4][S3][S5].
