Backpack founder @armaniferrante will be interviewed on CNBC. CNBC is more than just a financial news channel — it's a key window for Wall Street. Every day, millions of investors, fund managers, and traders across the United States rely on CNBC for market intelligence. The Federal Reserve, the U.S. Treasury, public company CEOs, and executives from the world's top financial institutions also frequently choose CNBC as their platform for major announcements. This means #Backpack#'s founder appearing on #CNBC# is not just a boost in brand visibility — it signals that Backpack is entering the mainstream U.S. financial market's line of sight. With Backpack Securities, U.S. stock trading, and on-chain stocks already rolling out, this interview is worth keeping a close eye on.

Robinhood @RobinhoodApp Chain is absolutely going crazy right now! 🔥 $500M in 24-hour volume on Uniswap — that’s 10x what it did yesterday. And it’s already surpassing every other chain except Ethereum Mainnet! The momentum is insane. Robinhood Chain is cooking 🚀 cash-cat:native $ARROW

$Arrow is the first CDP on Robinhood Chain. Deposit tokenized equities, mint a native stablecoin against them, 70-80% LTV. The CDP landscape today: Sky remains the largest CDP-style stablecoin issuer, with lending TVL around $8B, backed mostly by ETH and RWA fixed-income assets. Liquity runs pure ETH collateral at a much smaller scale. Every major CDP on any chain is fighting over the same pool of ETH, LSTs, and fixed-income RWAs. None of them have tokenized equities as native collateral, because until Robinhood Chain, that collateral didn’t really exist on-chain at scale. Why we think we win: we’re not competing for share of an existing collateral pool, we’re building the CDP for a collateral category that doesn’t exist anywhere else yet. First mover on a new asset class tends to compound, whoever builds the lending primitive first usually becomes the default integration everything downstream gets built on top of, the way Sky became the base money leg for years of DeFi on Ethereum. Why Robinhood Chain: it’s the only chain where this collateral lives at scale from day one. Robinhood Chain launched July 1 with users already holding tokenized equities, so we’re not asking anyone to acquire a new asset first. Fast native settlement means our liquidation engine reacts in real time on the same rails the collateral lives on, no bridging or lag. The chain was built to make equities programmable and usable in DeFi, we’re just first to build the CDP that does it. the team 450M clustr 1B pinlink 1B vector finance previouse projects have robinhood eco system doxed team Next steps audit 2 firms raise 500K TVL Partnerships 6 already lined up 3 confrimed with co marketing moneylord, od, locked to push tmr Ex robin hood doxed teeam memebr pushing
