Robinhood launched Robinhood Chain, a permissionless, Ethereum-compatible Layer 2 blockchain built on Arbitrum to support tokenized real-world assets, decentralized finance, and 24/7 trading of eligible stock tokens. The chain integrates with decentralized exchanges and lending platforms and aims to expand developer access while managing technical and regulatory risks.
