Bitget Wallet has announced a strategic partnership with Robinhood Crypto, becoming one of the first self-custodial wallets to integrate Robinhood Chain, an Ethereum Layer 2 network built for tokenized real-world assets.
The collaboration gives Bitget Wallet's 90 million users access to tokenized equities directly on-chain while keeping full control of their assets.
Support for the Robinhood Chain mainnet is already live. Trading functionality, market data and decentralized application access are expected to be introduced over the coming weeks.
Access to more than 90 tokenized stocks
The integration opens the door to a growing catalog of tokenized financial assets without requiring users to open a conventional brokerage account.
Robinhood Chain is built using Arbitrum Orbit technology as a permissionless network designed for tokenized stocks, exchange-traded products and private market assets.
Unlike platforms focused on a single application, the network is intended to support a wider financial ecosystem that developers, exchanges and lending protocols can build upon.
Through Bitget Wallet, users will gain access to more than 90 Stock Tokens representing major public companies such as NVIDIA, Apple and Google, along with products tracking broader markets, including the Invesco QQQ ETF. These assets will sit alongside cryptocurrencies and other tokenized holdings within a single self-custodial wallet.
The partnership reflects a broader trend of established financial companies embracing blockchain infrastructure for traditional investment products.
Many existing real-world asset platforms rely on synthetic products or third-party custodians to provide equity exposure. Robinhood Chain instead aims to settle tokenized assets directly on-chain while allowing users to retain ownership of their holdings through self-custody.
Expanding access to global markets
Bitget Wallet says the collaboration is intended to remove many of the barriers that have traditionally limited participation in international equity markets.
"Millions of people want access to global markets but continue to face barriers such as account requirements, market hours and geography," said Alvin Kan, COO of Bitget Wallet. "This partnership removes many of those obstacles by bringing Stock Tokens representing some of the world's largest companies into a self-custodial wallet. It shows how traditional finance and blockchain infrastructure are coming together to make investing more accessible."
Rather than opening brokerage accounts or navigating regional restrictions, users will be able to access tokenized shares through a single onchain account while maintaining custody of their assets.
