Robinhood begins testing proprietary blockchain to deepen crypto and tokenization efforts
Robinhood has started testing its own blockchain, called Robinhood Chain, built on Ethereum-based Arbitrum technology. The move aims to support 24/7 trading and streamline integration of tokenized stocks with decentralized finance (DeFi) applications. According to the company, their blockchain will empower users to trade tokenized assets directly and provide critical infrastructure for on-chain financial services. This development is part of Robinhood’s broader push into crypto, which also includes expansion across Asia and enhancements to AI-powered trading tools.
This marks a significant shift for traditional fintech into core blockchain infrastructure, signaling growing institutional investment in DeFi.
