- Robinhood unveiled the network at its "The World Is Flat" event in London, positioning itself to compete with Schwab and Interactive Brokers by offering a mobile-first experience for traders of prediction markets, derivatives, and tokenized equities.
- The company introduced tokenized stock products available in more than 120 countries and debuted Robinhood Earn, allowing users to lend USDG stablecoins for an estimated 7% APY via the Morpho protocol.
- Infrastructure provider 0x announced Day 1 support for the chain, providing RFQ-based liquidity for stock tokens and cross-chain swap access; Gaëtan Thabot, Director of Partnerships at Robinhood Crypto, called 0x an "obvious choice."
- Despite reducing its workforce by 10%, or 290 employees, Robinhood reported total revenue rose 15% to $1.07 billion last quarter, with analysts viewing the company's young customer base as uniquely positioned against legacy incumbents.
