Robinhood has launched a public testnet for Robinhood Chain, a Layer 2 network focused on real-world assets (RWA), including tokenized stocks, ETFs, and private assets. The testnet supports 24/7 trading, cross-chain bridging, and self-custody, with use cases in lending protocols and perpetual exchanges. Canopy, an AI-driven Layer 1 blockchain, has also announced a $1.2 million seed round and an early participation points program. On-chain updates from both projects underscore continued momentum in RWA development.

Robinhood stated that the public testnet provides developers with a foundation to explore potential use cases, validate applications in advance, and prepare for mainnet launch, advancing the tokenization of real-world assets and DeFi liquidity integration. Robinhood Chain is expected to support 24/7 trading, cross-chain bridging, and self-custody, enabling use cases such as tokenized asset platforms, lending protocols, and perpetual futures exchanges.
