Robinhood Chain Is Now Live on Tria

Robinhood Chain Is Now Live on Tria
Tria

Robinhood Chain support is now live on Tria. You can hold Robinhood Chain assets in a wallet you control, move them across 200+ chains with no manual bridging, and use them to top up your Tria Card, paying in the 150+ countries where the card already works. Here's what that means, and why it matters.

What is Robinhood Chain?

Robinhood Chain is an Ethereum Layer 2, built on Arbitrum's Orbit stack, that Robinhood launched on public mainnet on July 1, 2026. It's purpose-built for tokenized real-world assets, most notably tokenized stocks ("Stock Tokens"), available in 120+ countries.

It arrived with real infrastructure (Uniswap, Chainlink, and BitGo in place from day one) and it grew fast: 200 million transactions in its first 30 days, around $473 million in total value locked, and tokenized equities that now average $29.7 million in daily DEX volume, more than Solana's xStocks and Backpack's Sunrise combined. (New to tokenized assets? See what RWA tokenization is.)

What you can do now on Tria

With Robinhood Chain live on Tria, three things become possible, all from one self-custodial app, and all from one balance:

  • Hold. Keep your Robinhood Chain assets in a wallet you control, sitting alongside everything else you hold on Tria. No deposit to an exchange or custodian, and no separate account.
  • Move. Send them across 200+ chains through Tria's BestPath routing, with no hunting for a bridge, no route to pick, and no separate gas token to hold.
  • Spend. Use them to top up your Tria Card and spend in 150+ countries, earning up to 6% cashback.

Why this matters

Robinhood Chain gave people a fast, well-built home for tokenized assets. What it didn't give them was a route from those assets into everyday use. Until now, holdings on the chain were something to trade. Tria connects them to a payment card.

That's the part wallet support alone doesn't solve. MetaMask and Phantom both added Robinhood Chain in July, but the story isn't custody, it's what happens after custody. The nearest comparable move came days before this launch, when ether.fi added tokenized stocks and a lending market that lets you borrow against your portfolio to fund card spending. Tria's route is simpler: no loan against a position, and your assets never leave your control. You hold, you move, you pay, all self-custodially.

It also lands in a category that's growing fast. Crypto card volume reached $759 million in July 2026, up 2.5x year on year. Tokenized real-world assets are turning into money you can actually use, and Tria is where that happens without giving up custody.

How it works

There's nothing to bridge and nothing to deposit:

  1. Hold your Robinhood Chain assets on Tria, in your own self-custodial balance.
  2. Move them if you want: BestPath finds the route across 200+ chains automatically.
  3. Top up your Tria Card with them and pay anywhere Visa works, earning up to 6% cashback.

Your Robinhood Chain assets stay yours the entire time. Tria never takes custody, it just connects what you hold to what you can do with it.
