Abstract generation in progress

Trading platform Robinhood announced the development of its own layer 2 blockchain, designed to power the tokenization of real-world assets like stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

The new blockchain will be based on the Arbitrum technology stack and is intended to support features like 24/7 trading, seamless bridging, and self-custody for tokenized assets.

Robinhood shared its plans as part of a broader announcement of its tokenized stock offerings to customers in the EU. These tokens will initially be issued on Arbitrum before moving to Robinhood’s native L2 chain.
