Trust Wallet Just Plugged 220 Million Users Into Robinhood’s Tokenized Stock Market

Self-custody just met Wall Street.

Trust Wallet boasts a massive user base. Roughly 220 million people. Now, those users have a direct pipeline into Robinhood Chain, the brokerage giant's brand-new Layer 2 network.

This isn't just about moving crypto around. It's about fundamentally changing how people hold traditional investments.

Trading Apple Alongside Ethereum

Robinhood recently launched the public mainnet for its Ethereum-compatible blockchain. The explicit goal was to drag traditional financial assets onto a decentralized network.

By adding Robinhood Chain to both its mobile app and browser extension, Trust Wallet is making that a reality for its audience. Users can now send, swap, and store tokenized U.S. equities and other real-world assets (RWAs).

Most importantly? They get to keep their private keys. You own the asset, not the broker.

This partnership is a massive distribution win for Robinhood. Instead of forcing everyone to download a proprietary app, they are pushing their network directly into one of the industry's most popular crypto wallets.

The 24/7 Stock Market

Robinhood is pitching its new Layer 2 as the ultimate hub for tokenized finance.

For eligible users in more than 120 countries, the chain enables around-the-clock trading of tokenized U.S. stocks. No waiting for the morning bell. No weekend closures.

They also brought in the heavy hitters to make sure the plumbing works.

• Infrastructure: Alchemy, BitGo, and Chainlink helped get the network off the ground.
• Liquidity: Uniswap is already live, fueling decentralized swaps right out of the gate.

The long-term roadmap is ambitious. Robinhood wants to support decentralized lending, borrowing, and AI-powered financial tools directly on-chain.

Meme Coins Meet Traditional Finance

Of course, it’s still crypto.

Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev openly acknowledged the current surge of meme coin speculation happening on the network. He’s fine with it. But he also made it clear that the network’s true north is the tokenization of real-world assets. The dual approach allows the chain to capture the chaotic energy of crypto traders while building a serious foundation for institutional assets.

The broader industry is actively racing to bridge traditional financial markets with decentralized tech. As more platforms like Trust Wallet embrace these emerging networks, self-custody is quickly becoming a non-negotiable feature for the future of finance.

The update is already live. Users can jump into Robinhood Chain on Trust Wallet right now.
