Robinhood Chain, a layer-2 network built on the Arbitrum Orbit stack, has integrated NEAR Intents via the 1Click Swap API as of September 18, 2026. This update allows users to perform cross-chain swaps for Ethereum-native tokens and the USDG stablecoin across more than 30 chains and over 180 assets without using traditional bridges.
The network, which launched its testnet on February 10, 2026, and its mainnet on July 1, 2026, operates without a native chain token. Instead, the project focuses on tokenized real-world assets and decentralized finance. At launch, Robinhood introduced Stock Tokens for non-US users, and on October 1, 2026, added Arcus RFQ integration for approximately 190 of these tokens.
On-chain performance metrics show daily decentralized exchange volumes exceeding $1 billion, with total value locked approaching $1 billion and stablecoin supply occasionally surpassing $900 million. The platform's strategy aims to bridge traditional finance with blockchain infrastructure, with user exposure linked to Robinhood Markets equity.
