EU investors trade 200+ tokenized U.S. stocks/ETFs via Arbitrum
A new Robinhood Layer 2 blockchain promises 24/7 trading and self-custody
U.S. users get crypto staking; EU users gain perpetual futures with leverage
Robinhood has launched tokenized trading of over 200 U.S. stocks and ETFs—including giants like Apple, Nvidia, and Microsoft—for users in the EU and EEA. These tokens, built on the Arbitrum Ethereum Layer 2 network, offer commission-free trades and are available 24 hours a day, five days a week. The tokens even include dividend payouts directly in the app, making traditional investing more accessible to a wider audience.
Building a custom Layer 2 for tokenized assets
At the Ethereum Community Conference (ETHCC) in Cannes, Robinhood also unveiled its new Layer 2 blockchain, which is designed specifically for real-world asset tokenization. Built on Arbitrum, this blockchain will support 24/7 trading, self-custody, and seamless bridging across platforms. The goal is to create a fully integrated experience where users can trade traditional and digital assets in one place.
Expanding crypto tools: staking & perpetuals
Robinhood is also enhancing its crypto offerings across regions. In the U.S., users can now stake Ethereum and Solana directly through the Robinhood app, allowing them to earn passive income from their holdings. Meanwhile, European users get access to perpetual futures on Bitcoin and Ethereum, with up to 3× leverage. This adds more trading tools and opportunities for both casual investors and seasoned traders.
