Arbitrum was chosen because it preserves Ethereum\u2019s security while offering lower transaction fees and higher scalability. Previously, Robinhood also launched tokenized stock offerings for users outside the U.S. on Arbitrum. Building its own chain on this ecosystem allows Robinhood to leverage technical compatibility, access existing liquidity pools, and benefit from the Arbitrum developer community a strategic move for long-term infrastructure development.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1236\" data-end=\"1558\">With the testnet rollout, Robinhood signals its shift from being solely a brokerage service provider to becoming a direct blockchain infrastructure player. This transformation shows the company\u2019s intention to secure a more central role in tokenization, DeFi integration, and on-chain financial services over the long term.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1638\" data-end=\"1720\">Johann Kerbrat, head of Robinhood\u2019s crypto division, commented on the new network:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"1722\" data-end=\"1813\"><em data-start=\"1722\" data-end=\"1813\">&#8220;This chain will build the infrastructure for the future of tokenized real-world assets.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"1815\" data-end=\"2096\">Kerbrat emphasized that the network\u2019s scope goes beyond crypto trading to include stocks, RWAs (real-world assets), individual custody solutions, and on-chain financial services. New DeFi products designed to enhance liquidity access are also planned to be developed on this chain.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"2098\" data-end=\"2139\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Crypto_Revenue_Decline_Draws_Attention\"><\/span>Crypto Revenue Decline Draws Attention<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2141\" data-end=\"2488\">Despite these strategic moves and long-term vision, Robinhood\u2019s short-term financial performance remains under pressure. The company\u2019s stock, HOOD, has fallen roughly 33% over the past month and 40% over the last three months, reaching around $78\u2014down significantly from its previous peak above $150, reflecting weakened investor expectations.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2490\" data-end=\"2899\">Robinhood\u2019s Q4 2025 financial report showed a 38% decline in crypto trading revenues compared to the previous quarter. The overall slowdown in the crypto market and decreased trading volumes were the main factors behind this drop. This context helps explain why Robinhood is focusing on a long-term infrastructure strategy centered on tokenization and DeFi, independent of short-term revenue fluctuations.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"2901\" data-end=\"2914\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Evaluation\"><\/span>Evaluation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2916\" data-end=\"3245\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Robinhood Chain, launched on Arbitrum, demonstrates that the company\u2019s crypto vision prioritizes building a tokenization and DeFi-focused ecosystem over short-term trading revenues. Despite declining revenue, this move signals Robinhood\u2019s ambition to play a more central role in blockchain-based financial services in the future.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1580\" data-end=\"1744\"><em class=\"darkmysite_style_txt_border darkmysite_processed\" data-darkmysite_alpha_bg=\"rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\">Also, you can freely share your thoughts and comments about the topic in the comment section.
