Your portfolio doesn’t have to either :)
Robinhood Chain is only as strong as the people building on it. Supporting new builders is a top priority for us.
Excited to partner with @arbitrum on cohort two of the mentorship program and see what new teams bring to Demo Day and, hopefully, our ecosystem.

Robinhood Chain hit 100 days last week.
A new chain is only as strong as the people who use it. Thank you to everyone who helped us get off to a strong start, and to every team that has brought new products, users, and ideas to the ecosystem. Even in such a short time, we've learned a lot. We want to continue to learn from our community, please give us feedback on what else you want us to build.
100 days is just the beginning. We're still early, and we're listening.
Excited to keep building.

Heading to Korea Blockchain Week. It’s been an exciting & busy time for @RobinhoodCrypto, with lots to talk about onchain and off.
Ready to keep the conversation going during a fireside chat on 10/1 moderated by @CamiRusso from the @DefiantNews, alongside Eddie Zhang (@epic_edge_) from @arcus_xyz, talking DeFi, tokenization, and where we fit in.
Anything you want us to cover? Let me know in a reply. See you there.

As a former engineer, I know experimentation is often how novel primitives find their footing, and reach users who are interested in something different.
For too long, markets have been walled off from those who want to do more with their money, and from developers who want to create something new.
Financial assets deserve to be building blocks for innovation. Robinhood Chain welcomes this mindset and we built our Stock Tokens to be composable for that reason.

Our thesis in action.
Robinhood Chain recently hit $75B in cumulative DEX volume.
More traders, more liquidity, more activity across the ecosystem.
To everyone in the trenches, we see you.
Built for RWAs. Enabled by DeFi.
Robinhood's focus is on adoption, and that starts with lowering barriers to entry - fees included.
This is just the beginning.
After Robinhood raised the gas limit and lowered fees for users on Robinhood Chain, chain revenues have declined significantly (green), while DEX volumes have remained strong (purple). It's solidly #2# behind Solana.
Lots of folks pointing at this like it's a mistake. But it's clearly intentional. And if you actually believe in the growth of RWAs and on-chain finance, this is 100% the right answer.
Robinhood is thinking a lot bigger than optimizing for short-term sequencing fees. Owning the ecosystem and bringing tokenized assets on-chain and increasing the GDP of the blockchain is the much bigger long-term bet, and that will only happen if capacity scales and fees stay low. They will make it up on volume.
Bullish.

Dividend benefits for Stock Tokens are getting an upgrade.
Dividend benefits are now applied automatically on the ex-dividend date instead of weeks later on payment day.
That means more immediate stock-equivalent economics from day one, no dividend dilution after the ex-date, and tighter pricing.
Already live across most Stock Tokens, with more to come 🔥

This tokenization train has room on board for everyone.
Builders keep shipping.
750M transactions on Robinhood Chain.
More builders are shipping, more users are showing up, and we're still early.
The SEC innovation exemption is a signal that tokenization is ready to come to the United States. This is a major step by the agency and will allow liquid tokenized securities markets to develop onshore.
Smart regulation accelerates innovation. Looking forward to what we build next.

Robinhood supports the @SECGov innovation exemption.
Americans deserve access to crypto technology and all of the financial innovations it makes possible, including instant settlement, 24/7 trading, and fractionalization by default.
