Robinhood has launched Robinhood Chain, an Ethereum layer-2 network built with Arbitrum technology, designed to support tokenized real-world assets such as stocks and ETFs, according to Decrypt.

Robinhood Chain is intended to connect tokenized assets with decentralized finance use cases, including decentralized exchanges and lending protocols, and it runs using Ethereum technology such as the Ethereum Virtual Machine.

The network launched in mainnet on July 1, 2026, and it uses ETH as its native gas token, meaning users pay network fees with ETH.

Robinhood said in a statement that DeFi can expand financial ownership, and the company positioned Robinhood Chain as a way to give developers a network for building crypto applications involving financial assets.
