Robinhood launched Robinhood Chain on July 1, 2026, as an Ethereum layer-2 network using Arbitrum technology to support tokenized stocks, ETFs, and DeFi applications. It enables developers to build on-chain financial products with reduced fees while blending traditional finance exposure through Stock Tokens that do not grant legal ownership.
These blockchain-based assets issued by Robinhood give exposure to underlying stocks and ETFs but do not confer shareholder voting rights or legal ownership.
