One of DeFi's biggest trading platforms just plugged into Robinhood's new blockchain, and it means tokenized stocks and funds could soon be tradeable around the clock on a platform used by 27 million people.
1inch, a decentralized trading platform that routes crypto swaps across multiple exchanges to find the best price, has joined as a launch partner on Robinhood Chain, Robinhood's newly launched blockchain built specifically for trading tokenized real-world assets. The integration went live on July 1, 2026.

Robinhood Chain is a blockchain built on Arbitrum, a network that runs on top of Ethereum and is designed for faster, cheaper transactions. Its specific purpose is to bring real-world assets, such as stocks, ETFs, etc., onchain, so they can be traded at any hour, including when traditional stock markets are closed.
The chain's testnet, a trial version used before the full launch, has already processed more than $2 billion in tokenized asset transfer volume, a signal that demand for this kind of infrastructure exists at scale.
One of the biggest challenges with tokenized assets is fragmented liquidity, the same asset might be available across multiple platforms at different prices, and finding the best route to trade it takes time and expertise most users do not have.
1inch solves that. Its routing technology automatically scans available liquidity sources and finds the most efficient path to execute a trade. For tokenized asset traders on Robinhood Chain, that means less manual searching and a simpler path to getting a trade done.
From day one, 1inch will support swaps of Robinhood's Stock Tokens and exchange-traded products through its app, wallet, and Swap API. It will also handle the backend infrastructure, pricing, gas estimation, compliance checks, and transaction processing, while supporting both its Classic Swap and Fusion execution models, which use different methods to optimize trade outcomes for users.
Pricing data on Robinhood Chain will be backed by Bitstamp, the crypto exchange Robinhood acquired in 2025.
1inch co-founder Sergej Kunz said, "Robinhood Chain brings tokenized real-world assets onchain. Our role is to provide the infrastructure that makes them liquid and tradable."
He added, "As one of the largest U.S. retail crypto platforms enters the RWA market, efficient routing, deep liquidity and reliable execution become increasingly important. That's what 1inch has spent years building."
Robinhood Chain is designed to make tokenized assets accessible, interoperable, and useful across the onchain ecosystem, and integrations like this one are how that goal becomes practical.
"Integrations with infrastructure providers like 1inch help expand the ways eligible users and developers can access liquidity across tokenized assets on Robinhood Chain," said Gaëtan Thabot, Director of Partnerships at Robinhood Crypto.
1inch currently processes more than $100 million in daily trading volume across its platform.
Its integration with Robinhood Chain extends that reach into a new asset class, one that, for the first time, lets crypto-native users trade tokenized versions of real stocks and funds without waiting for Wall Street to open.
