.@RobinhoodApp is going all in on crypto, and it's powered by Arbitrum. Today's news is a massive moment for Arbitrum, a massive moment for Ethereum, and a massive moment for crypto. Here's why it matters🧵
Today's launch isn't about Robinhood adding support for crypto, the asset; that's old news. it's about Robinhood choosing Arbitrum and using crypto, the technology, to support and grow its core business. Last week on CNBC, @vladtenev laid this out quite elegantly:
The coolest part? Robinhood is using Web3 tech to deliver a Web2 UX. EU users will get the same trading experience that Robinhood U.S. users know and love inside the Robinhood app. The EU experience will be fully built on crypto rails, but users might not even realize.
Arbitrum is the natural choice to support the scale of Robinhood. Arbitrum has long been at the forefront of innovation, delivering the fastest block times around and best in class developer tooling like Stylus. Crypto's mainstream moment has arrived, and Arbitrum is ready.
Arbitrum is unique as it is both a top blockchain as well as a top blockchain stack, and can be customized for any application. For Robinhood, this meant deploying on Arbitrum One and expanding to their own Arbitrum Orbit chain. Arbitrum is for everyone. Arbitrum Everywhere.
