Robinhood announced a comprehensive on-chain expansion at its "World Is Flat" event in London, introducing a proprietary Layer 2 alongside tokenized stocks, DeFi yield products, perpetuals trading, and AI trading agents. The rollout also includes plans for wider global availability of these services.
The announcement represents a significant shift toward decentralized finance infrastructure for the retail brokerage platform, bundling multiple on-chain capabilities into a single ecosystem. The Layer 2 solution appears designed to support the full suite of offerings—from equity tokenization to derivatives and yield-generating protocols—within a unified network environment.
Details about the technical specifications of the Layer 2, launch timelines for each product category, and which jurisdictions will be prioritized in the global rollout have not yet been disclosed.
