Robinhood Chain Perpetuals Hit $1B Daily Volume as CEO Teases New Markets
HOOD sits 78% above its 52-week low of $63.515.
Summary
CEO Vlad Tenev announced that Robinhood Chain perpetual contracts reached $1 billion in daily trading volume, a significant milestone for the company's Layer-2 blockchain launched in July. He also stated that new markets will open to all users and that Robinhood Chain will become the preferred chain for developers within two months. Additionally, Tenev said stock token offerings will expand to thousands. This follows a period of declining volume on the chain reported in late July, suggesting a potential rebound. The expansion of perpetuals and new market access could drive further growth in Robinhood's crypto segment, which has been a key revenue driver. Watch for the official launch of the new markets and developer adoption metrics in the coming months.
