Record Value and Surging Holders
Tokenized assets on Robinhood (@RobinhoodApp) Chain reached a record $170 million on September 21, according to data shared by Arbitrum. The figure has since pulled back slightly to $158.61 million, though that still represents a gain of 310% over the prior 30 days. The number of token holders has climbed 370% in the same period to 198,141. Arbitrum says the numbers reflect the accelerating shift toward programmable, on-chain assets.
The milestone arrives less than three months after Robinhood Chain's public mainnet went live. On July 1, 2026, Robinhood announced the official mainnet launch at a London event. Robinhood Chain is an Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain built on the Arbitrum stack, designed for tokenized real-world assets and 24/7 financial services. The chain runs 100-millisecond block times, settles to Ethereum for security, and shipped with Uniswap and Chainlink integrated from day one.
A New Blueprint for On-Chain Finance
The network allows Robinhood's 28 million users to trade tokenized shares of U.S. stocks on a 24/7 basis in more than 120 countries. The chain aims to support self-custody of tokenized stocks, ETFs, and other assets via Robinhood's crypto wallet, while enabling access to DeFi applications on Ethereum.
Robinhood Chain marks an important step forward for global fintech on the Arbitrum platform, bringing together consumer distribution, tokenized real-world assets, and dedicated blockchain infrastructure in one production environment. Arbitrum has emerged as a hub for real-world asset tokenization, with adoption driven by the Robinhood integration, suggesting stronger retail inflows and potential upside for Arbitrum-based DeFi infrastructure.
The rapid growth in both value and holder count points to genuine demand for on-chain financial products, and positions Robinhood Chain as one of the more closely watched real-world asset networks in the current market cycle.
