Robinhood Chain received two major additions on October 27, 2026. Ripple announced a strategic partnership with Robinhood built around its RLUSD stablecoin. Separately, Ondo Finance brought 15 tokenized stocks and ETFs to the network. The two announcements came from different companies. However, together they supply a settlement asset and a deeper market for the same chain.
Ripple is officially going under the hood. 👀 We’re expanding our partnership with @RobinhoodApp across $RLUSD, Ripple Prime and Ripple Treasury, bringing together stablecoins, prime brokerage and treasury management to support both customer-facing services and core financial operations. Together, we’re bridging traditional and digital. https://t.co/GNKAqTOYUv

Ripple Gives Robinhood a Stablecoin, a Treasury Tool, and Prime Brokerage
Ripple and Robinhood described the deal as a single entry point to Ripple’s infrastructure. That infrastructure spans stablecoins, institutional markets, and treasury management. RLUSD sits at the center. The token launched in December 2024, and Ripple says its market cap now exceeds $2 billion. Notably, RLUSD already runs live on Robinhood Chain and on Bitstamp by Robinhood. Ripple expects it to reach the main Robinhood app later this year.
Robinhood will also use RLUSD on the XRP Ledger for institutional settlement. In addition, the company will adopt Ripple Treasury to automate its own global finance operations. That product covers cash and liquidity management, cash flow forecasting, payments, risk management, and intercompany netting. As a result, Robinhood becomes a customer of Ripple’s enterprise software, not only a distribution partner for its token. Johann Kerbrat, Robinhood’s SVP and GM of Crypto and International, said “utility is what moves stablecoins forward.”
The third piece runs through Ripple Prime. It will give Bitstamp by Robinhood lending and margin financing across roughly 20 digital assets. Ripple Prime clients will gain spot trading access on Bitstamp. Meanwhile, perpetual futures trading on Bitstamp should follow later in 2026. Monica Long, Ripple’s president, called the breadth of the work what makes the partnership exciting. Robinhood serves 28.6 million funded customers globally, so the distribution potential is large.
Ondo Stocks, now on Robinhood Chain. Live today, 15 Ondo tokenized stocks and ETFs can be bridged from Ethereum and BNB Chain to Robinhood Chain. 11 new @Uniswap StablePair pools connect Ondo Stocks and Robinhood Stock Tokens, bringing 24/7 liquidity to the chain’s DeFi ecosystem. What this unlocks: → New potential arbitrage opportunities → More ways to trade and earn LP fees → Connectivity to Ondo Stocks’ 24/7 liquidity With this expansion, more traders can access Ondo Stocks and more developers can build financial applications around them.

Ondo Stocks Bridge to Robinhood Chain
Ondo’s launch targets a different layer of the same chain. Users can now bridge 15 Ondo Stocks from Ethereum or BNB Chain to Robinhood Chain through Ondo Bridge. The list includes Nvidia, Apple, Alphabet, Meta, Tesla, Strategy, Circle, GameStop, SpaceX, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF, and the Invesco QQQ ETF. Four more tokens cover Robinhood, BitMine, the iShares China Large-Cap ETF, and a US copper fund. Ondo says each token carries full backing from securities held at US-registered broker-dealers and cash in transit.
Ondo launched the product in September 2025. It now reports $1.3 billion in total value locked and more than 450,000 cumulative holders. Ondo calls Ondo Stocks the largest tokenized stock platform globally. Consequently, the Robinhood Chain debut extends an established product into a new venue. The move also signals that Ondo views Robinhood’s network as a serious home for tokenized equities.
Uniswap Pools Link Ondo and Robinhood Tokens
Eleven new Uniswap v4 StablePair pools sit at the heart of the integration. Each pool pairs an Ondo Stock with a Robinhood Stock Token that tracks the same company. For example, NVDAon trades against NVDArh. The four tokens without a Robinhood counterpart, including HOODon, have no pool at launch. Traders can swap directly between the two token families. Liquidity providers earn fees on those swaps.
StablePair uses dynamic fees. When the two tokens drift from their expected exchange rate, the swap fee adjusts. Ondo says this design helps liquidity providers keep more value from price corrections. Traders still hold an incentive to close the gap. A Uniswap GitHub pull request dated October 26 added the StablePair hook for Robinhood Chain, and it confirms 11 pools started with it.
Why Weekend Liquidity Matters
Ondo’s blog identifies the practical problem. Robinhood Stock Tokens keep trading onchain when their minting and redemption window closes. However, their supply cannot grow to meet new demand during that closure. Ondo Stocks, in contrast, mint and redeem on Ethereum and BNB Chain around the clock, including weekends. Arbitrageurs can therefore buy a discounted token on one side, redeem it on the other, and pocket the spread.
That loop benefits ordinary holders too. Tighter spreads mean prices that track the underlying shares more closely when traditional markets sleep. Additionally, new liquidity gives Robinhood Chain users another exit route during closures. Developers also gain a deeper pool of tokenized equities to build lending, collateral, and trading products around.
What the Two Launches Mean Together
Taken together, the announcements show Robinhood Chain assembling the parts of a functioning market. RLUSD gives the network a regulated-style dollar asset for settlement and payments. Ondo and Uniswap give it equity liquidity that keeps working on weekends. Importantly, none of these pieces depend on one another to function. Ripple supplies the cash leg, while Ondo and Uniswap supply the asset leg.
Several questions remain open. Neither announcement published volume targets or pool depth figures. Nor did Ripple or Robinhood give a firm date for RLUSD in the app beyond “later this year.” Even so, the direction is clear. Robinhood now offers a stablecoin, a prime brokerage link, and competing sources of tokenized stock liquidity on one chain.
