Robinhood Chain Launch Expands Platform Reach

Robinhood Markets on July 1, 2026 completed the Robinhood Chain launch, unveiling its public mainnet alongside stock tokens, a decentralized lending product, and agentic crypto trading as part of a broader push into blockchain infrastructure and 24/7 tokenized and derivatives markets.

Robinhood Chain Mainnet and Infrastructure

Robinhood said in a newsroom press release that it officially launched the public mainnet of Robinhood Chain, an Ethereum-compatible Layer 2 blockchain built on the Arbitrum Platform to institutional standards and natively connected to Robinhood’s onchain users. The company described the network as a turnkey environment for builders.

Robinhood Chain adopted Chainlink as its official data and cross-chain oracle infrastructure, with Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), Data Streams, and Data Feeds live on the mainnet to power Robinhood-issued assets, including stock tokens such as NVDA, GOOG, and AAPL.

Company materials highlight day-one integrations linking liquidity and trading venues to the chain, naming Uniswap as the primary public automated market maker and Pleiades as a proprietary AMM trading venue. The chain is positioned as a base layer for tokenized real-world assets and other onchain financial products.

Products, Trading Tools, and Global Expansion

Robinhood said stock tokens are available on its Wallet in more than 120 countries, with availability varying by jurisdiction. Eligible users can trade tokenized stocks 24/7 directly on Robinhood Chain through decentralized exchanges integrated into the Wallet, including Uniswap, Rialto, Lighter, Arcus, and 1inch. The first generation of Classic Stock Tokens will remain available in the Robinhood Europe app.

The company is rolling out Robinhood Earn to eligible U.S. users as its first decentralized lending product within the main app. Robinhood Earn allows customers to lend the dollar-backed stablecoin USDG via a self-custody wallet at an estimated 7.0% annual percentage yield. Insurance through Lloyd’s of London and RELM covers certain cyber or smart-contract losses.

Robinhood is preparing to extend its agentic trading technology—recently launched for equities and options—to crypto. Agentic Accounts will let eligible U.S. traders link AI models to Robinhood data and tools through its Trading MCP, while retaining control over capital allocation and safety limits. The rollout will begin soon at no additional charge.

In Europe, Robinhood is expanding perpetual-futures trading beyond cryptocurrencies to include commodities, ETFs, and foreign exchange, offering round-the-clock access with leverage up to 10x for eligible investors. The platform is also introducing maker order types for professional and advanced crypto traders in the U.S., allowing liquidity providers to qualify for maker fees as low as 0% depending on volume.

On the international front, Robinhood plans to launch crypto services in the U.K. soon. The platform is officially available to Canadian residents following the WonderFi acquisition, with zero crypto trading fees for Canadian customers through September 30. Robinhood Singapore has received a capital markets services licence from the Monetary Authority of Singapore, a significant step toward offering brokerage services in that market.

Robinhood framed these blockchain, trading, and AI products as steps to expand global ownership and position the company as an all-in-one platform for traditional and onchain investing. The materials did not include quantified financial guidance tied to the announcements.
