Robinhood unveils a new blockchain and tokenized stock initiative, while Coinbase introduces perpetual futures, as regulatory hurdles loom.





Robinhood has announced a significant step forward in blockchain integration by launching its own Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible layer-2 blockchain, known as Robinhood Chain, on the Arbitrum Orbit stack. This initiative, revealed at the EthCC conference, marks a notable advancement in the brokerage’s strategy to incorporate blockchain and tokenization into its core offerings, according to Galaxy.com.

Robinhood’s Blockchain Ambitions

The introduction of the Robinhood Chain allows users to trade tokenized derivatives of stocks, opening up new avenues for transferring and self-custody of assets, a significant shift from traditional securities. The underlying stocks are held by a U.S. broker-dealer, while a ‘token engine’ creates a wrapper for these assets, facilitating trades at real market rates and enabling offchain liquidity.

Controversially, Robinhood allows EU users to trade tokens linked to privately held companies like OpenAI and SpaceX, despite OpenAI distancing itself from this initiative. This move highlights Robinhood’s ambition to leverage blockchain for 24/7 trading, a capability further bolstered by its acquisition of crypto exchange Bitstamp.

Coinbase’s Perpetual Futures

In parallel, Coinbase is making strides by launching a regulated version of perpetual futures in the U.S., offering contracts for nano bitcoin (0.01 BTC) and nano ether (0.10 ETH) with 24/7 trading. These contracts, regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), aim to align with traditional perpetual futures while adhering to U.S. regulations.

This innovative approach by Coinbase, while compliant, presents challenges in adoption and liquidity due to its deviation from traditional perpetual contracts. However, it offers a regulated alternative to offshore markets, potentially attracting institutional interest.

Regulatory Landscape and Future Implications

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is reportedly developing a ‘generic standard’ for token-based ETFs to streamline approval processes. This initiative comes amidst a backdrop of numerous pending crypto ETF applications, highlighting the growing interest in regulated crypto investment products.

As blockchain technology continues to disrupt traditional finance, the integration of tokenized assets and perpetual futures by firms like Robinhood and Coinbase underscores the transformative potential of decentralized finance. However, regulatory challenges and market dynamics will play critical roles in shaping the future trajectory of these innovations.
