NiftyNoon: Robinhood Builds the Onchain Future of Finance 🏹⛓️🌍
Robinhood is launching its own Layer 2 blockchain alongside tokenized stocks, perpetual futures, and expanded crypto staking for US and EU customers (July 1, 2025)
Nifty Thought:
Robinhood has announced a major expansion of its crypto services, signaling a deep commitment to integrating blockchain technology with traditional finance. The company is launching tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs for its European customers, which will initially be issued on Arbitrum. In a significant move, Robinhood revealed it is developing its own Layer 2 blockchain that will eventually facilitate these tokenized real-world assets. Additionally, the platform is rolling out perpetual futures with up to 3x leverage in the EU and introducing crypto staking for Ethereum and Solana to eligible U.S. customers.
This suite of new products marks a strategic push by Robinhood to become a central, all-in-one hub for digital assets and blur the lines between TradFi and crypto. By not only offering advanced trading and earning features but also building its own blockchain infrastructure, Robinhood is positioning itself as a key player in the future of on-chain finance. This aggressive move, which also includes services like crypto credit card rewards and AI-powered insights, could be a powerful catalyst for bringing mainstream users into the crypto ecosystem and suggests a bullish outlook on the industry's foundational role in global finance.
