Robinhood Accelerates Global Expansion with Robinhood Chain Mainnet, Stock Tokens, Agentic Trading and New Suite of DeFi Products

From London, Robinhood unveils new plans to expand global ownership through an extensive suite of decentralized finance and agentic products.

Today, live from the historic Old Royal Naval College in London, Robinhood Markets hosted Robinhood Presents: The World is Flat, a landmark keynote revealing our most ambitious global expansion and product vision to date.

From expanding our vision for ownership to new regions, to bridging the gap between traditional finance and DeFi with the Robinhood Chain, we're breaking down legacy financial borders to give customers unprecedented access to global markets.

"Decentralized finance unlocks possibilities beyond what traditional finance can offer, but historically, it has required technical expertise to navigate," said Johann Kerbrat, SVP and General Manager of Crypto and International at Robinhood. "We're bringing the best of traditional finance and DeFi together, and in doing so, expanding financial ownership to every corner of the globe."

Expanding Global Ownership with DeFi

Robinhood Chain Public Mainnet Across the Globe

We are officially launching the Public Mainnet of Robinhood Chain. Built using the Arbitrum Platform to institutional standards and natively connected to Robinhood's onchain users, this Layer 2 blockchain provides a turnkey environment for builders. The Robinhood Chain ecosystem is actively growing with day one partners including Uniswap, which is deploying a dedicated AMM to serve as a primary public liquidity protocol, and Pleiades, which is deploying a proprietary AMM to serve as a primary prop trading venue.

With deep integrations from industry leaders like Alchemy, BitGo, and Chainlink, the chain features fast block times and out-of-the-box DeFi primitives like lending and borrowing. AI-native and purpose-built for real-world assets, Robinhood Chain creates a permissionless environment for builders to innovate seamlessly.

Our New Stock Tokens

Stock Tokens are available today on the Robinhood Wallet in more than 120 countries, although availability varies by jurisdiction. With the new Stock Tokens, eligible individuals can unlock possibilities like 24/7 trading directly on the Robinhood Chain, including asset productivity through activities such as deploying tokens into lending pools and utilizing them as trading collateral across the broader DeFi ecosystem.

This spot trading experience will be accessible for eligible users within the Robinhood Wallet via decentralized exchanges like Uniswap, Rialto, Lighter, Arcus, and 1Inch.

The first generation of Stock Tokens, now called Classic Stock Tokens, will continue to be available in the Robinhood Europe app.

Robinhood Earn

We're starting to roll out Robinhood Earn to eligible US users, the first decentralized lending product available directly through the main Robinhood app. Robinhood Earn allows people to lend their dollar-backed USDG through a self-custody wallet at an estimated 7% APY, with insurance procured through Lloyd's of London and RELM to protect covered losses in the event of cyber or smart contract exploits. The underlying lending infrastructure is powered by the Morpho protocol, and the product was built with the support of category-defining partners like Steakhouse, Ethena, Spark and Maple.

Perpetuals Available in Robinhood Wallet

We've updated the Robinhood Wallet experience, adding native integrations with Robinhood Chain.

Eligible users in selected jurisdictions can now access perpetual futures on Lighter, a decentralized exchange, within the Robinhood Wallet. Lighter has committed $11 million of $LIT to the Robinhood community. Eligible users earn points on perpetual futures trades on Lighter - 2x when trading through Robinhood Wallet, 1x when trading on Lighter's web application -which convert directly into $LIT from that pool, subject to Lighter's terms.

The Next Generation of Advanced Trading

Perpetual Futures Expansion in the EU

Since expanding Robinhood's reach to 30 European countries last year, perpetual futures for crypto have quickly become one of our fastest-growing products in the EU. Until now, perpetuals on our platform were exclusively supported for crypto. Starting today, commodity, ETF, and FX perpetual futures are being rolled out on Robinhood in Europe. Eligible European investors can now trade widely followed assets, including GOLD, SILVER, QQQ, EUR/USD, WTI, Brent crude oil, and EWY, with up to 10x leverage, expanding their ability to use a range of advanced derivatives in a single platform, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Expanded perpetual futures are rolling out in waves to eligible users.

Maker/Taker Fees, as Low as 0% in the US

For eligible crypto traders, we are introducing maker order types, allowing professional & advanced traders who want to offer liquidity on the platform an improved fee structure as low as 0% based on volumes.

Global Expansion

Today, Robinhood serves nearly 28 million customers across 38 countries and three continents, a milestone that reflects our commitment to expanding financial ownership worldwide. We are continuing to create access across borders to quality financial products, making building wealth an easier part of everyday life.

Crypto Trading in the UK

We're planning to launch crypto in the UK soon. This planned launch will strengthen Robinhood's position as an all-in-one investing platform for UK traders.

Expanding Robinhood to Canada

On Canada Day, we are thrilled to announce that Robinhood is officially available to Canadian residents. Following our acquisition of WonderFi, this launch brings all the features our global community loves about crypto to local investors. To celebrate our launch, there are zero trading fees for our Canadian customers until September 30.

Broadening Our Reach to Singapore

Robinhood Singapore has received its capital markets services licence from MAS, a significant step towards offering brokerage services to customers in the future.

AI at the Center of Your Financial Life

Agentic Accounts for Crypto Trading in US

After launching Agentic Trading for equities and options in the US last month, we are bringing that same powerful technology to crypto. While institutional giants have long used high-frequency algorithms to spot market opportunities, retail traders are often left behind. To bridge this gap, we are preparing to launch Agentic Accounts for crypto. Using our Trading MCP, eligible US traders can connect their AI model of choice to Robinhood data sources and tools. Your agent can continuously scan millions of data points and execute strategies the moment the market turns. Crucially, humans remain in control by deciding exactly how much capital to allocate and set the specific safety guardrails.

Agentic Trading for Crypto will begin rolling out soon to eligible US traders at no additional cost.

Robinhood set an official GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS® title: the most items purchased by an AI agent in three minutes using a single credit card. Using the Robinhood Agentic Credit Card, an AI agent independently sourced, selected and ordered an assortment of gifts for event attendees. The record was certified on-site by an official GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS® adjudicator.
