Arcus launches tokenized perp positions on Robinhood Chain

Latest NewsPublishedAug 25, 2026

Arcus introduced transferable ERC-20 tokens for perpetual positions and lets tokenized stocks back leveraged trades without requiring users to sell their holdings.

Arcus, a decentralized exchange (DEX) built by the team behind dYdX, has introduced a protocol on Robinhood Chain that converts perpetual futures positions into transferable ERC-20 tokens and allows tokenized stocks to be used as collateral for leveraged trading.

The launch includes products such as pBTC3x and pHOOD3x, offering 3x exposure to Bitcoin and Robinhood’s HOOD stock token, respectively, the DEX revealed in a Tuesday press release shared with Cointelegraph.

“Traditional markets have spent decades making sophisticated investment strategies easier to access through products like leveraged ETFs. We believe the next step is making those strategies native to blockchain infrastructure,” Arcus CEO Eddie Zhang stated.

Arcus stated it has recorded more than $2 billion in trading volume since launching on Robinhood Chain, with average daily volume exceeding $100 million.

Robinhood Chain has grown to $596 million in total value locked since its July 1 launch, ranking among the top 15 chains by DeFi TVL, as reported by DeFiLlama data.
