The Future of RWA - Robinhood Chain
Robinhood Chain launches as an Arbitrum-based L2 built specifically for tokenized real-world assets, arriving with 28 million pre-funded accounts across 38 countries and waived gas fees during the initial period, rather than building infrastructure first and sourcing an audience afterward.

Launch partners span the full stack: Uniswap (AMM), Chainlink (oracles/CCIP), Morpho (lending), Paxos (tokenized asset issuance), LayerZero (interoperability), and TRM Labs (compliance), with Citigroup projecting the broader RWA market at $5.5 trillion by 2030.
