We are bringing Robinhood onchain with the Arbitrum stack! Starting today, European Union (EU) customers of Robinhood can access over 200 tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs directly in the Robinhood app. These tokenized assets are issued on Arbitrum public blockchain, giving users the traditional trading experience they’re familiar with, but backed by Arbitrum's infrastructure. Looking ahead, Robinhood has also announced plans to launch its own Layer 2 blockchain, built using Arbitrum’s Orbit stack. This chain will be tailored for: 1. Tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) 2. 24/7 trading (an upgrade from traditional 24/5 market hours) 3. Self-custody options with plans to integrate DeFi use cases such as collateralised lending and borrowing.

Robinhood's onchain move with Arbitrum is more than a technical upgrade—it’s a strategic shift that could catalyze the relationship between fintechs and blockchains. My thesis is this will spark a wave of tokenized finance platforms, regulatory evolution, and consumer-driven innovation in how we access and manage financial assets. Fintech is watching. Crypto is already building. And Robinhood now finds itself at the forefront of it all. Arbitrum Everywhere.
