New York City, United States, August 18th, 2026 (Chainwire) — Tria, the leading self-custodial neofinance platform, has announced support for Robinhood Chain, connecting one of the fastest-growing new networks for tokenized real-world assets to Tria's cross-chain infrastructure and global payment ecosystem.

The integration allows users to hold supported Robinhood Chain assets in wallets they control, move assets across chains using Tria's BestPath routing technology, and route supported assets through Tria to top up the Tria Card for spending in more than 150 countries. With BestPath, users can move Robinhood Chain assets across chains without manually selecting bridges, finding routes, or managing separate gas tokens.

Robinhood launched the public mainnet of Robinhood Chain on July 1 — an Ethereum Layer 2 built using the Arbitrum platform and purpose-built for real-world assets (Robinhood newsroom). Robinhood is one of the highest-profile mainstream brokerages to operate its own blockchain, joining a broader institutional push into tokenization in which asset managers such as BlackRock and Franklin Templeton have brought funds onchain. The network launched with Uniswap as a day-one ecosystem partner and deep integrations with major infrastructure providers including Chainlink and BitGo. Robinhood Stock Tokens are available through Robinhood Wallet in more than 120 countries, with availability varying by jurisdiction.

Tokenized equities have quickly become a significant source of activity on the new network. Robinhood Chain averaged $29.7 million in daily decentralized-exchange volume for tokenized equities during a seven-day period in late July, exceeding the combined volume of Solana-based xStocks and Backpack Sunrise during the same period. The benchmark matters: xStocks, launched on Solana in mid-2025 by tokenization firm Backed, was among the most widely distributed tokenized-equities products before Robinhood Chain went live, so the volume comparison offers an early indication of where activity in the category is concentrating.

“Tokenization becomes much more powerful when assets can move freely beyond the environment where they were issued,” said Vijit Katta, Co-founder of Tria. “Robinhood Chain is bringing real-world assets onchain at meaningful scale. Tria gives users a self-custodial way to connect those assets to the rest of their financial lives—whether that means moving them across chains or ultimately using supported assets for everyday spending.”

From Tokenized Ownership to Real-World Utility

Robinhood Chain was designed to bring real-world assets onchain, with Robinhood Stock Tokens enabling eligible users to access tokenized equities through Robinhood Wallet. Tria's integration adds another layer of utility by connecting assets on the network to its broader cross-chain and payments infrastructure.

Rather than maintaining Robinhood Chain assets in a separate wallet or manually determining how to move them between networks, users can manage supported assets alongside other holdings within Tria (tria.so). BestPath automatically determines cross-chain routes behind the scenes, removing the need for users to select bridges or manage the technical steps normally required to move assets between blockchain networks. Manual bridging has long been one of the more friction-heavy and risk-laden steps in using crypto — several of the industry's largest hacks have targeted cross-chain bridges — and routing and intent-based products have emerged across the industry to hide that complexity from end users.

Supported Robinhood Chain assets can also be routed through Tria to top up the Tria Card, which operates in more than 150 countries and offers up to 6% cashback on eligible purchases. This creates a path between assets held on Robinhood Chain and everyday payments while preserving Tria's self-custodial model.

Unlike models that require users to borrow against their portfolios to access spending power, Tria does not require users to open a collateralized loan against their position. Users maintain control of their assets until they choose to move or spend them. That emphasis on user-controlled wallets aligns with a broader industry shift toward self-custody since the 2022 collapse of the FTX exchange, which left customers reliant on bankruptcy proceedings to recover their assets.

“Crypto has built increasingly sophisticated markets for owning and trading assets, but using those assets still involves too much friction,” Katta added. “Our goal with BestPath and the Tria Card is to make the underlying chain increasingly invisible to the user. You should be able to hold an asset where you want, move it where you need it and use it when you want without becoming your own cross-chain infrastructure engineer.”

Robinhood Chain support is live on Tria beginning today. How far the integration reaches in practice will depend on which Robinhood Chain assets Tria supports and on where tokenized equities are legally available, since products such as Stock Tokens are subject to jurisdiction-specific securities rules.
