In 2013, Robinhood removed the fees. In 2026, Arcus removes the limits. 

Today, we’re launching Arcus, a new decentralized exchange built on Robinhood Chain. 

Join the waitlist.

Why We Built Arcus 

Until now, traders have been shut out of the most valuable markets on earth - U.S. equities, commodities, and indices - because of where they live, market hours, and institutions restricting access. 

We built Arcus to reduce these barriers. Arcus gives traders 24/7 access to 95  tokenized stocks and perpetuals backed by Robinhood Chain’s deep liquidity. 

We believe all traders deserve to build wealth without waiting for the bell or having to overcome certain barriers to entry in order to participate.

What Makes Arcus Different?

Trade Stock Tokens 24/7, with No Fees 

US stock markets close at 4 p.m. Eastern, but earnings and other catalysts break after hours. Geopolitics moves on weekends. 

Now you can react in real time. 

Arcus offers 24/7 trading with no fees on 95 Stock Tokens representing equities, commodities, indices, and crypto. On Arcus, Stock Tokens trade like crypto: always open, always available. When the world moves, you can trade it instantly. 

Bringing Robinhood Traders Onchain 

Robinhood democratized stock trading for a generation. They made markets accessible, intuitive, and human. Crypto is a core part of Robinhood’s business; they have over $50 billion in digital assets on the platform. And now for the first time, we’re introducing perpetuals and Stock Tokens trading on the Robinhood Chain, making them available for investors on Arcus. 

We chose to partner with Robinhood Chain due to their deep liquidity and massive existing user base of 27.7 million funded accounts. This means: 

• Trade Stock Tokens in size 

• Onboarding a new wave of traders onchain 

• Arcus as leading DEX on Robinhood Chain 

Every Stock Token on Arcus is issued from and redeemable against Robinhood Chain’s issuance and blockchain infrastructure. The Stock Token can be self-custodied and moved into DeFi ecosystems. This enables capital efficiencies for market makers. 

We are pleased to share that Robinhood Crypto has made an investment in Arcus. Robinhood is building the ultimate blockchain, while Arcus builds the premier DEX.

Spot and Tokenized Assets as Collateral for Perpetuals 

Coming soon, Arcus will let you deposit spot assets as collateral for your perpetual positions. You can deposit Bitcoin to long Gold, or use Apple Stock Tokens to short Microsoft perpetuals. 

With unified margin for Stock Tokens and perpetuals, Arcus unlocks greater capital efficiency, deeper liquidity, and unique trading strategies.

Built by Traders, Owned by Traders 

Bringing mainstream retail onchain is no longer a distant vision. Leveraging the Robinhood Chain, the vision of democratized finance has never been more realized. 

We are grateful to the hundreds of traders who helped us build Arcus over the last year, and are excited to welcome you to our community in the coming months. Arcus is a product of all of your accumulated learnings and feedback, and we plan to grow closely alongside you as co-owners.

Welcome to Arcus.

Arcus is a blockchain-based smart contract protocol that permits self-custodial peer-to-peer trading of Stock Tokens, cryptoassets and perpetual futures.  Arcus is not a regulated financial services provider, and it is not available in the U.S., Canada, United Kingdom and other restricted jurisdictions.

Stock Tokens are tokenised securities that provide economic exposure to a relevant underlying equity instrument or ETP through a contractual claim against the Issuer for a cash Redemption. Stock Tokens involve risks not present, or not present to the same extent, in traditional stock ownership, including private-key loss or compromise, limited redemption access, liquidity constraints, price or tracking divergences from the underlying, and uncertain or evolving regulatory treatment.

Trading Stock Tokens, cryptoassets or perpetual futures is risky and involves risks of loss, particularly when using leverage. DYOR. NFA.
