Overview
- The Robinhood Chain testnet is now live, built on Arbitrum to support tokenized equities, ETFs, and other real-world assets with 24/7 trading, self-custody, and cross-chain bridging.
- Developers gain access to network endpoints, documentation, and compatibility with standard Ethereum tools after roughly six months of private testing.
- Early integrations are underway from infrastructure partners including Alchemy, Chainlink, LayerZero, Allium, and TRM to provide tooling, data, and interoperability.
- Robinhood plans to introduce testnet-only stock tokens and to deepen integrations with Robinhood Wallet and the main app before the mainnet launch later in 2026.
- The effort follows Robinhood’s earlier tokenization of nearly 2,000 U.S. stocks and ETFs (about $15 million onchain value) and comes as Q4 2025 crypto revenue fell roughly 38%, with rivals like Coinbase and Kraken advancing their own L2 networks.
