Robinhood Chain works great for memes, CEO says
According to the company, the network features fast block times, built-in lending and borrowing capabilities, and a permissionless architecture optimized for AI-native applications and tokenized real-world assets.
Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev said Wednesday the company’s Robinhood Chain, which is being built as the top blockchain for real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, also performs well for meme tokens.
While we’re building robinhood chain to be the best chain for RWA … it works great for memes too

The layer 2 network built on Arbitrum headlined a broad slate of product launches earlier this month that also included tokenized stocks, decentralized lending, expanded perpetual futures and AI-powered trading tools.
The company said the network is designed to institutional standards and provides a turnkey environment for developers building decentralized applications and real-world asset products.
Day-one partners include Uniswap, which is launching a dedicated liquidity AMM, and Pleiades, which is deploying a proprietary trading-focused AMM. The chain also connects with major blockchain infrastructure providers including Alchemy, BitGo, and Chainlink.
Robinhood is anticipated to soon roll out AI-powered Agentic Accounts for eligible US crypto traders.
