Robinhood Partners With Chainlink to Power Data and Tokenization on New Blockchain

• Robinhood Chain, an Arbitrum-based Ethereum Layer 2, has launched a public testnet, integrating Chainlink for market data and tokenization.
• **Robinhood reported Q4 2025 net revenue of $1.28 billion, up 27% year over year, while crypto revenue fell 38% to $221 million. **

Robinhood has launched a public testnet for Robinhood Chain, an Ethereum Layer 2 network built using Arbitrum technology, and selected Chainlink as the oracle platform to support market data and tokenization workflows on the new chain. The company said the testnet is intended for developers building onchain financial services focused on tokenized digital and real-world assets. The early phase is designed to let teams deploy and test applications while infrastructure is validated ahead of a planned mainnet launch later in 2026.

Robinhood listed early integrations from infrastructure providers, including Chainlink, alongside Alchemy, Allium, LayerZero, and TRM. The network is “financial-grade,” with design goals tied to reliability, security, compliance, supporting bridging and self-custody as developers test tokenized asset platforms, lending products, and perpetual futures exchanges. CNF recently covered that Chainlink added 20 new integrations across eight services and 12 blockchains, expanding access to Data Feeds, Data Streams, automated execution support, and CCIP.  Robinhood Chain’s Testnet Access and Developer Programs Robinhood said developers can use standard Ethereum development tools in a familiar environment aligned with Arbitrum while connecting to network entry points for testing. The builders will gain access to testnet-only assets, including stock tokens for integration testing, and direct testing through Robinhood Wallet in later phases. Offchain Labs, the team behind Arbitrum, said Robinhood Chain will support tokenization and permissionless financial services using Arbitrum’s tooling. Robinhood also announced a $1 million commitment to the 2026 Arbitrum Open House program, alongside planned online buildathons in New York City, Dubai, London, and Singapore, as well as in-person founder events in New York City and London. Co-Founder and CEO of Offchain Labs, Steven Goldfeder, noted that the partnership is building the next stage of finance, adding:

With Arbitrum’s developer-friendly technology, Robinhood Chain is well-positioned to help the industry deliver the next chapter of tokenization and permissionless financial services.

Robinhood joins a growing list of traditional financial giants launching their own networks. Coinbase pioneered the movement with Base, which has become one of the crypto sector’s most active chains. Circle launched Arc last year to focus on stablecoin payments, and others like Stripe are working on similar moves. Robinhood’s testnet announcement arrived alongside the company’s fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results, which reported total net revenues of $1.28 billion for Q4, up 27% year over year. Crypto transaction revenue hit $221 million, down 38% from the previous year. At the time of reporting, Chainlink was trading at $8.25, down 3.42% over the past 24 hours, while Arbitrum was trading at $0.1066, down 2.78% in the same period.
