This Wednesday, CEO Vlad Tenev made the announcement during a global event in London, detailing that this institution-grade infrastructure will support 24/7 trading of tokenized stocks and provide access to perpetual futures in partnership with the decentralized exchange Lighter.

This strategic move seeks to merge the advantages of traditional finance with the DeFi ecosystem, allowing eligible users from more than 120 countries to interact with real-world assets (RWA) without requiring advanced technical expertise. The initial rollout will feature key liquidity partners such as Uniswap and Chainlink, transforming traditional collateral and lending pools into fully blockchain-native operational tools, temporarily excluding the U.S. market due to regulatory restrictions.
With its sights set on a massive global expansion toward Asia and Europe, Robinhood will offer gas subsidies during the first 90 days to incentivize transactions within its digital wallet. Investors are now closely watching the consolidation of these hybrid products and the development of their autonomous trading accounts powered by artificial intelligence.
