\u201cOur latest offerings lay the groundwork for crypto to become the backbone of the global financial system,\u201d said Robinhood chairman and chief executive officer Vlad Tenev.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Apart from the Arbitrum-powered blockchain, Robinhood Markets has also launched U.S. stock and exchange-traded fund tokens in the European Union. <\/p>\n
The company, whose plans for tokenized U.S. stocks emerged in early May, says it targets more than 400 million people in 30 EU and European Economic Area countries, with tokenized stocks expanding the company\u2019s European app from a crypto-only offering to an all-in-one app.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cCrypto was built by engineers for engineers, and has not been accessible to most people,\u201d said Johann Kerbrat, general manager and senior vice president of Robinhood Crypto. \u201cWe\u2019re onboarding the world to crypto by making it as easy to use as possible\u2014with the goal of bringing powerful tools into one intuitive platform.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Access to the over 200 tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs will initially be via Arbitrum before ETF tokens move to Robinhood\u2019s L2.<\/p>\n
EU customers will also have access to crypto perpetual futures with up to 3x leverage, which Robinhood plans to roll out to eligible customers this summer. Another service the platform is rolling out is crypto staking in the U.S., starting with Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL).\u00a0<\/p>\n
The past year has seen Robinhood up its efforts to become a leading platform for crypto, with its acquisition of Bitstamp a major move. In May 2025, Robinhood announced it was acquiring WonderFi, a Canadian crypto firm in an all-cash deal.<\/p>\n
