Robinhood launches a heavyweight cryptocurrency product suite, ushering in the era of 24/7 tokenized trading globally

According to the Zhitong Finance APP, during the first Ethereum Community Conference held in Europe, the U.S. brokerage giant Robinhood (HOOD.US) officially announced the launch of its most ambitious cryptocurrency product suite to date, aimed at deeply integrating traditional finance with blockchain infrastructure and ushering global investors into a new phase of "seamless trading of tokenized assets." As of the time of publication, the stock rose over 6.7%, trading at $88.61. According to the announcement released on Monday, the core offerings of Robinhood's launch include: providing tokenized U.S. stock and ETF trading to European users, covering 30 EU and European Economic Area countries; launching staking services for Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) in the U.S., allowing users to earn rewards by supporting network operations; opening up crypto perpetual contract trading with up to 3x leverage for qualified European users, executed by Bitstamp; upgrading trading features with new smart trading paths, tax batch management, and more powerful charting tools; and planning to develop a brand new Layer 2 blockchain network designed for the settlement of tokenized assets and 24/7 trading. Robinhood stated that the tokenized stocks and ETFs offered on the platform will initially be issued on the Arbitrum chain, supporting dividends and 24-hour/5-day trading, with a commitment to a commission-free, no-spread trading experience. In the future, these assets will migrate to Robinhood's exclusive Layer 2 network, enabling cross-chain bridging and asset self-custody functions, creating a truly seamless cryptocurrency trading experience. This new system marks an unprecedented commitment from Robinhood to promote the "integration of traditional finance and the crypto world." With increasingly robust regulatory support in Europe, the company is accelerating the creation of a more open, low-threshold, globally-oriented financial ecosystem. Robinhood has also become one of the few fintech platforms to achieve significant regulatory breakthroughs in both the U.S. and European markets simultaneously. Following the announcement, the company's stock price hit an all-time high, with an increase of over 100% since the beginning of the year. Robinhood pointed out that the vision released this time is not just about "launching more crypto features," but about fully integrating these features into users' daily trading experiences. This product expansion comes as Robinhood gradually completes its strategic layout in Europe. From stocks and futures to tokenized assets, Robinhood's product line is rapidly bridging the gap between traditional and new finance. The real-time trading of tokenized assets, 24/7 market operation, and self-custody functions are expected to drive true financial inclusivity and large-scale application of cryptocurrencies. This series of initiatives not only enhances Robinhood's core competitiveness in the crypto market but also signifies that "tokenized Wall Street" is taking shape. In a future where users no longer need to understand the underlying technical logic but can easily use complex financial tools, Robinhood is seizing the opportunity. As the boundaries between blockchain technology and financial services continue to blur, Robinhood's series of deployments may become a template for traditional fintech companies to enter the "next generation of financial infrastructure."
