Why Robinhood Built Its Own Chain ($1.6B TVL in 3 Months)
Robinhood already lets millions of people trade stocks and crypto, so why build its own blockchain? ROBINHOOD CHAIN is the answer: a chain Robinhood controls end to end, launched July 1, that has since crossed $1.6 billion in total value locked, with most major exchanges and wallets integrated by August. Owning the chain lets Robinhood set compliance rules for every jurisdiction it launches in, keep gas fees low, and bring tokenized stocks onchain with 24/7 trading.Johann Kerbrat, SVP and General Manager of Crypto at Robinhood, breaks down how Robinhood keeps fees high enough to stop spam but low enough for trading (around 30 cents at the very max today), why it covers gas fees for Robinhood Wallet users, and why meme coins bring the liquidity and retail users that pull market makers and institutions onto a new chain. He also explains how tokenized stocks are being adopted for 24/7 trading, how Robinhood is tackling liquidity for stock tokens, when it partners versus builds in-house, and where the chain goes next as Robinhood expands internationally.
