Robinhood has built a layer-2 network on Ethereum using Arbitrum technology to support tokenized financial products.

Robinhood, the consumer investment platform, has launched its own layer-2 network built atop Ethereum, according to Decrypt. The infrastructure, known as Robinhood Chain, leverages Arbitrum technology to process transactions and support a range of blockchain-native financial applications.
The network is specifically designed to facilitate the tokenization of traditional financial assets alongside cryptocurrency applications and decentralized finance products. By operating as a layer-2 solution, Robinhood Chain aims to offer faster transaction speeds and lower fees compared to conducting these activities directly on the Ethereum mainnet.
Layer-2 networks sit above base blockchains and bundle multiple transactions together before settling them on the underlying chain, reducing congestion and improving efficiency. Arbitrum is one of the most widely adopted layer-2 frameworks in the Ethereum ecosystem, used by numerous DeFi protocols and applications.
The move represents Robinhood's expansion into blockchain infrastructure and on-chain finance, extending beyond its traditional brokerage services. The platform's focus on tokenized stocks suggests an intention to bridge traditional equity markets with blockchain technology, making stock ownership programmable and transferable on-chain.

| Funding APR | Annualized, OI-weighted funding. Positive = longs pay shorts (crowded longs). |
| Percentile 90d | Where current funding sits within the coin's own last 90 days (0–100). |
| Open interest | Total USD value of outstanding perpetual contracts. |
| OI change 24h / 7d | How fast leverage is entering (+) or unwinding (−) over the period. |
| Liquidation skew | Imbalance of forced closures (−1…1): + = more longs liquidated, − = more shorts. |
| Leverage risk | 0–100 composite of funding extremity, OI momentum, liquidations and volatility. |
