Robinhood's Crypto Strategy - Robinhood launched 213 tokenized stocks/ETFs on Arbitrum for EU customers [1] - Transaction costs are $0.03 per transaction with 24/7 trading [1] - The platform achieves 1,105 TPS (transactions per second) with 16-minute finality [1] - Robinhood is building "Robinhood Chain," its own L2 on Arbitrum Orbit [1] Technology and Infrastructure - Robinhood avoided Solana due to MEV (Miner Extractable Value) concerns, opting for full validator control as "a landlord, not a tenant" [1] - The technical implementation hides all crypto complexity, using L2 as a core backend without a visible crypto interface [1] Regulatory and Financial Implications - Robinhood is offering private company tokens (e g, OpenAI, SpaceX shares) offshore, potentially challenging regulators [1] - With $255 billion in assets, Robinhood's RWA (Real World Asset) initiative is significant, creating a KYC/AML-compliant walled garden initially preventing DeFi integration [1] Revenue Model - The strategy involves starting on Arbitrum One for liquidity and migrating to a proprietary chain for enhanced revenue capture [2] - 10% of sequencer profits will flow to the Arbitrum DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) [2]
