## Resource

Johann Kerbrat, SVP and GM of Crypto at Robinhood, breaks down why Robinhood built its own blockchain and what it unlocks for the tens of millions of retail investors already on the platform. From Robinhood Earn, offering approximately 7% yield on stablecoins, backed by an insurance program with Lloyd's of London, to stock tokens that can be traded on weekends, used as collateral, and transferred to any wallet, Johann lays out a vision where the line between TradFi and DeFi disappears entirely. - Timecodes: 0:00 - Intro: Johann Kerbrat, Robinhood 0:12 - Ecosystem excitement at chain launch 0:48 - Robinhood Chain is permissionless 1:24 - Morpho lending protocol partnership 2:04 - Stock tokens on Robinhood Chain 2:45 - Weekend trading and DeFi volume 3:07 - Tokenization of real-world assets 3:37 - Beyond stocks: real estate, art, private equity 4:36 - Blockchain as backbone for AI/agentic trading 6:00 - Accessibility and giving customers tools - From our sponsors: Ledn provides a secure and transparent way to access liquidity while maintaining your bitcoin holdings.
