$HOOD just dropped a pretty aggressive expansion update at its “World Is Flat” event, and it’s clear they’re trying to evolve way beyond just being a brokerage.
Robinhood Chain is officially going live, and they’re already talking about native perps and deeper crypto infrastructure in Europe. At the same time, stock tokens are being pushed globally through their wallet rollout across 100+ countries, which basically turns the platform into a distribution layer for global assets.
They’re also leaning into yield with Robinhood Earn, targeting ~7% APY through a
$USDG.X stablecoin setup, while continuing to push international expansion with crypto re-entry in the UK, Canada growth via acquisition, and regulatory progress in Singapore.
This is starting to look less like a trading app and more like a full financial + crypto ecosystem play. Now it comes down to execution.
