Robinhood has launched the public mainnet for its Layer-2 blockchain, Robinhood Chain, marking its most significant expansion into on-chain infrastructure as the company broadens its ambitions beyond online brokerage and deeper into decentralized finance.

The blockchain, unveiled during a product event in London, is built on Arbitrum and is designed to support tokenized real-world assets and decentralized finance (DeFi) applications. The launch follows several months of testing after Robinhood introduced the network on testnet in early 2026.

With the public mainnet now live, Robinhood has also rolled out its tokenized stock offering to users in more than 120 countries through Robinhood Wallet, subject to local regulatory restrictions. The company said the products are designed to enable around-the-clock trading of tokenized equities while allowing the assets to be used across DeFi protocols including as collateral or within lending markets.

Robinhood also introduced Robinhood Earn, a decentralized lending service that allows users to lend USDG, the company’s U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin, through self-custody wallets. The product is expected to offer an annual yield of about 7%, according to the company.

The blockchain launch forms part of a broader international expansion strategy.

Robinhood said it is extending its perpetual futures offering in Europe beyond cryptocurrencies to include commodities, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and foreign exchange markets.

The company also unveiled Agentic Accounts, an AI-powered crypto trading tool that allows eligible U.S. users to connect AI models directly to Robinhood’s trading infrastructure while maintaining full control over capital allocation, risk limits, and trading parameters.

The company also confirmed plans to introduce cryptocurrency trading in the United Kingdom and said its services are now available in Canada following its acquisition of WonderFi as it continues to expand its presence outside the United States.

Robinhood’s latest product announcements underscore its strategy of combining traditional financial assets with on-chain infrastructure, reflecting a broader industry trend toward tokenization and on-chain financial services.

CRCL Selloff Explained: Russell Growth Removal and Open USD Pressure Reprice Circle’s Stablecoin Story

CRCL Selloff Explained: Russell Growth Removal and Open USD Pressure Reprice Circle’s Stablecoin Story

Circle Internet Group ($CRCL) came under pressure after being removed from several Russell Growth-related benchmarks during the latest Russell reconstitution. The index move matters because many passive funds, benchmark-aware portfolios, and rules-based institutional mandates use Russell indexes as part of their portfolio construction. When a stock leaves a widely followed benchmark, some investors may need to rebalance exposure, even if their long-term view of the company has not changed. But the Russell adjustment is only one part of the story. The deeper issue is that the market is reassessing Circle’s identity as a public stock. Is CRCL still being valued as a high-growth crypto infrastructure leader, or is the market starting to treat it more like a financial infrastructure company whose economics depend on interest rates, reserve income, stablecoin distribution, and competitive pressure? That debate became more urgent after the launch of Open USD, a new stablecoin initiative backed by a consortium involving major payments and crypto players, including Visa, Mastercard, and Coinbase. Reuters reported that Open Standard brings together more than 140 businesses and plans to issue Open USD, a U.S.-dollar-pegged stablecoin expected to go live later this year. For traders, the key question is whether the recent CRCL selloff is mostly technical index-related pressure, or whether it marks a broader valuation reset for the first major stablecoin stock.
