Robinhood Chain Launches on Arbitrum With AI Trading and DeFi Features

Robinhood has launched the public mainnet of Robinhood Chain, an Arbitrum-based Layer 2 network focused on tokenized real-world assets and decentralized finance, unveiled at a London keynote with Uniswap among its day-one partners. The platform enables around-the-clock trading of tokenized stock tokens in over 120 countries and includes Robinhood Earn, a decentralized lending product offering an estimated 7% yield on its USDG stablecoin via the Morpho protocol. Robinhood also introduced Agentic Accounts, allowing eligible users to connect AI models to their trading tools through a Trading MCP while setting capital limits and safety guardrails. At ETHConf, WalletConnect founder Pedro Gomes and MetaMask's Francesco Andreoli argued that account abstraction is critical for securing AI agent payments, emphasizing the need for granular permissions, transaction simulation, and pre-signing safety checks. Both speakers envision a future where crypto wallet payments feel as seamless and safe as card transactions, while preserving user self-custody.
