Although on-chain US stocks have existed for a while, it was only after Robinhood's press conference that this track was truly ignited.

Out of curiosity about the Arbitrum chain, I watched the Offchain Labs CEO's interview 'Why did Robinhood choose Arbitrum?'

Core content sharing:

As a financial-grade product aimed at millions of users, Robinhood has extremely high requirements for infrastructure stability. Compared to technology stacks like #Solana, #Arbitrum has been running stably on the mainnet for years and is currently the only one that can simultaneously provide:

▶️

Public chain (Arbitrum One)

▶️

Dedicated chain (Robinhood chain built on Orbit)

▶️

Open-source tech stack (highly customizable)

Robinhood's plan is to quickly launch on Arbitrum One first and then smoothly transition to its own chain to avoid redundant development and architectural reconstruction.

▶️

Deep #DeFi liquidity (lending, stablecoins, etc.)

▶️

Developer community

▶️

Existing Dapp infrastructure (such as ZKP verification, MEV optimization components)

After watching, I feel the core reason for Robinhood choosing Arbitrum: it is a stable starting point that is also a flexible endpoint.
