TradingKey – Robinhood (HOOD) surged 12.77% on Monday, marking its largest single-day gain since April 9 and closing at a record high of $93.63.

On June 30, Robinhood unveiled the following initiatives:
1. Robinhood Chain: A new Ethereum Layer-2 blockchain built on Arbitrum, focused on tokenization of real-world assets.
2. Tokenized U.S. Stocks for EU Users: Over 200 tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs are now available to European customers via Arbitrum One, with plans to expand to thousands of assets by year-end.
3. Free Tokenized Shares of Private Companies: Eligible users will receive tokenized shares of OpenAI and SpaceX for free, with a redemption deadline of July 7.
These moves position Robinhood not just as a crypto participant, but as a builder of its own blockchain ecosystem, bridging traditional equities and digital assets. The company’s strategy aims to attract both retail stock investors and crypto-native users by offering tokenized access to U.S. equities, perpetual futures, and self-custody tools.
