Bitget Wallet has officially unveiled a strategic partnership with Robinhood Crypto, positioning itself among the first wallets to seamlessly integrate Robinhood Chain. This innovative platform is an Ethereum Layer 2 network designed specifically for tokenized real-world assets. Under this integration, Bitget Wallet’s expansive user base—encompassing 90 million individuals—will now have the capability to trade more than 90 Stock Tokens without needing a brokerage account.
The mainnet support is already active, with complete trading capabilities, market data, and dApp access expected to be available in the coming weeks. Robinhood Chain leverages Arbitrum’s Orbit technology and functions as a permissionless network. This setup is tailored for the settlement of on-chain stocks, Exchange Traded Products (ETPs), and private market assets, all under the philosophy of self-custody. It is designed as a full financial ecosystem, inviting third-party developers, exchanges, and lending platforms to join in.
With this partnership, Bitget Wallet users can tap into the expansive Robinhood Chain ecosystem, which features hundreds of Stock Tokens, including high-profile companies such as NVIDIA, Google, and Apple, alongside index trackers like Invesco QQQ. This extensive offering allows users to manage their crypto and tokenized asset portfolios from a single on-chain account.
The collaboration is a significant move towards integrating traditional financial institutions into the realm of on-chain infrastructure. Traditional RWA protocols typically handle equities through third-party custodians or synthetic structures, but Robinhood Chain aims to transform this model.
Gaëtan Thabot, Director of Partnerships at Robinhood Crypto, highlighted the mission of Robinhood in making the financial system accessible to all. With 27.7 million funded accounts and over $377 billion in assets on its platform, Robinhood remains committed to this vision. “Robinhood Chain takes that further, creating open on-chain infrastructure where Stock Tokens settle transparently and are held directly by users. Partnering with Bitget Wallet extends that reach to 90 million users worldwide,” Thabot stated.
Alvin Kan, COO of Bitget Wallet, emphasized the significant barriers many face in accessing global markets due to account requirements, geographical limitations, and market hours. He noted that the partnership eliminates these obstacles, allowing users to trade Stock Tokens representing some of the most popular companies globally without needing a brokerage account. “This partnership exemplifies the convergence of traditional finance with on-chain infrastructure, enabling institutions to tokenize real-world assets while ensuring built-in self-custody from the outset,” Kan added.
For those seeking further information about this partnership and the services offered, additional details can be found on the Bitget Wallet website. The wallet itself is designed for everyday finance, supporting over a million tokens across more than 130 blockchains and 100 fiat currencies, alongside a robust user protection mechanism funded by over $300 million.
This partnership encapsulates a pivotal moment in the evolution of financial services, combining the traditional banking experience with the advancements of blockchain technology, ultimately aiming to enhance accessibility for a broader range of users worldwide.
