Having spent a great deal of time working with stablecoin issuers and crypto payments teams at both @OffchainLabs / @arbitrum and @StablecoinStnd , I’ve come to realise that stablecoins and payments are two sides of the same coin — neither can scale without the other. Inspired

Haven’t been as active here as I’d like this week. The @RobinhoodApp announcement was obviously huge, and partners in Asia who have been exploring ways to bring tokenized equities onchain are now accelerating their speed of execution. There’s significant interest from some of.

Pre-IPO funds are actually quite common in TradFi. Some of the largest hedge funds like @coatuemgmt , Tiger Global, DST Global offering pre-IPO strategies to their existing clients. The Problem is - these funds are often limited to accredited investor or institutions with.
At our recent crypto event, we announced a limited Stock Token giveaway on OpenAI and SpaceX to eligible European customers. While it is true that they aren’t technically “equity” (you can see the precise dynamics in our Terms for those interested), the tokens effectively give.

Bullish on the @pendle_fi team and the flexibility of their product to navigate multi-cycle narratives - LST/LRT, BTCfi, and now stablecoin . Citadel and Boros will only accelerate their dominance in DeFi.

The folks buying tokenized equities onchain thinks more deeply about custody + fund structure + redemption rights + counterparty risk + legal recourse. They’re not your average memecoin trader looking to hold it for 24 - 48 hours. Just putting something onchain by tokenizing.

I often find myself on calls with TradFi folks who ask, “What’s Arbitrum doing on the fintech front?”. Honestly, that question always give me pause, not because we lack progress, but because we haven't done enough to showcase it. We've landed major partnerships (BlackRock,.
Arbitrum got bent over by ct for 2 years and instead of quitting they let the market play out and build non ct relationships that have mass market value. Lessons in that anon.

We are bringing Robinhood onchain with the Arbitrum stack!. Starting today, European Union (EU) customers of Robinhood can access over 200 tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs directly in the Robinhood app. These tokenized assets are issued on Arbitrum public blockchain, giving users.
Robinhood is now onchain with Arbitrum!. Arbitrum will serve as @RobinhoodApp's rails to merge DeFi and TradFi in what is a 0 -> 1 moment for the entire industry. All while onboarding millions of net-new users into crypto. Arbitrum Everywhere. 🧵
