The company said the event marked \u201cour most ambitious global expansion and product vision to date.\u201d The company said the initiative is designed to bridge traditional finance and <span>decentralized finance<\/span> ( <span>DeFi<\/span>).<\/p>\n<p>The company announced:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWe are officially launching the Public Mainnet of Robinhood Chain.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Public Mainnet is built using the Arbitrum Platform and connects to Robinhood\u2019s on-chain users. Its partners include Uniswap and Pleiades, with integrations from Alchemy, BitGo, and Chainlink.<\/p>\n<p>Robinhood said the chain supports real-world assets and <span>DeFi<\/span> functions like lending and borrowing. Johann Kerbrat, Robinhood\u2019s senior vice president and general manager of <span>crypto<\/span> and international, said the company is combining traditional finance and <span>DeFi<\/span>.<\/p>\n<h2>How Stock Tokens and Lending Push Robinhood Deeper Into DeFi<\/h2>\n<p>Stock Tokens are available in more than 120 countries via Robinhood Wallet, with access varying by jurisdiction. Eligible users can trade them 24\/7 on Robinhood Chain and use them in supported <span>DeFi<\/span> applications, including lending pools and as trading collateral.<\/p>\n<p>Robinhood further announced:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re starting to roll out Robinhood Earn to eligible US users, the first decentralized lending product available directly through the main Robinhood app.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Robinhood Earn allows lending of USDG through a self-custody wallet at an estimated 7% <span>APY<\/span>. Insurance procured through Lloyd\u2019s of London and RELM is intended to protect covered losses resulting from cyber or <span>smart contract<\/span> exploits, with lending infrastructure powered by Morpho.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, the company serves nearly 28 million customers across 38 countries.
