From stock tokenization to Layer 2, a quick overview of Robinhood’s new products

Written by: AIMan@黄金财经

On June 30, 2025, Robinhood released a series of new products at the Robinhood Presents: To Catch a Token event held in Cannes, France, which caused a market shock.

Because RWA has officially landed in major global markets, Robinhood tokenized stocks and ETFs in the European market. These tokenized products have been issued on Arbitrum and will be issued on the Layer 2 Robinhood Chain that Robinhood is developing in the future.

In addition to launching tokenized products in the EU, Robinhood also released a series of new products yesterday, such as Robinhood launching crypto staking in the United States and launching Robinhood Chain globally.

EU: Tokenized Stocks and ETFs

Tokenized U.S. Stocks and ETFs

Robinhood has launched tokenized U.S. Stocks and ETFs in the EU, enabling eligible customers to invest in U.S. stocks through Robinhood stock tokens—with zero commissions or additional spreads (other fees may apply), dividend support, and 24/5 access from Robinhood. By tokenizing stocks, the Robinhood European app will transform from a pure crypto app to an all-in-one investing app powered by crypto.

European customers will be able to trade over 200 U.S. stock and ETF tokens. Stock token holders will also be able to receive dividends directly in the app.   

Stock tokens will initially be issued on Arbitrum. In the future, tokenized stocks will be issued on the Robinhood Layer 2 chain Robinhood Chain based on Arbitrum.

Perpetual Futures Contracts

Robinhood is launching cryptocurrency perpetual contracts in the EU, providing eligible customers with a new class of derivatives that offer continuous exposure and up to 3x leverage. Perpetual contracts will be fully available to eligible customers by the end of this summer. To help reduce the complexity typically involved in trading perpetual contracts, Robinhood has built an intuitive interface that makes it easy for users to set position sizes and manage margin. Orders will be routed through Bitstamp's perpetual contract exchange.

US: Crypto Staking

Ethereum and Solana Staking

Crypto staking will be available to eligible US users soon, starting with Ethereum and Solana.

All Robinhood EU and EEA users can also participate in crypto staking. 

Other Product Suite

Robinhood is also launching more new products to make cryptocurrency trading on Robinhood even more powerful and seamless.  

• Instant Bonus on Crypto Deposits: For a limited time, US and EU investors can transfer crypto to Robinhood and receive a 1% deposit boost. If total deposits reach a $500 million target, there’s a chance to double that to 2%.

• Crypto Credit Card Bonus: The Robinhood Gold credit card offers US customers cash back on purchases across all categories. Starting this fall, customers can use these rewards to automatically buy crypto.

• Cortex for Crypto:Robinhood’s US feature Cortex, an AI-powered investing assistant, will be available later this year. Robinhood Gold members can view curated insights, trends, and event-driven market analysis on each token’s detail page. It’s designed to help customers quickly understand price movements and market changes in real time.

• Smart Exchange Routing:Smart Exchange Routing evaluates multiple partner exchanges and routes customer orders to get the best price between them. Soon, all orders placed through Smart Exchange Routing will be eligible for rate tiers, meaning the more volume a customer trades, the lower the rate, based on the customer's past 30-day volume. API support is coming soon.

• Tax Sheets:US customers can also now view and sell specific tax sheets for crypto trades, allowing customers to strategically choose which lots to sell.

• Advanced Charting:Robinhood Legend's advanced charting is coming to mobile, starting with stocks and expanding to crypto in August.  

Global: Robinhood Chain

Under development and coming soon, Robinhood is building a permissionless Layer 2 blockchain optimized for real-world assets (from public to private to global) with 24/7 trading, seamless bridging, and self-custody.
