Robinhood chooses Arbitrum after a multi-year partnership process, launching equities first on Arbitrum One with a plan to move to a dedicated Orbit chain using the same stack; Stylus support for Rust and C++ speeds enterprise integration. Arbitrum promises deep Ethereum security, a mature DeFi liquidity pool, and high fee retention (roughly 93% margins for L2s). Engineering focuses on UX and bridging—acquiring ZeroDev for wallet-level abstraction and using fast withdrawals between AnyTrust Orbit chains.
