I’ve already told you about the Arcus exchange on Robinhood Chain, how massive the airdrop could be (a real game-changer), and why you should use it. The next major DeFi trend could be the tokenization of the entire stock market. And Arcus is positioning itself right at the heart of this evolution because it is the native exchange for the well-known broker Robinhood.
Robinhood is no longer just a broker for retail investors. It is building an on-chain financial ecosystem via Robinhood Chain, an Ethereum-compatible Layer 2 solution designed to bring tokenized stocks, ETFs, and other real-world assets into the DeFi world. Its list of official integrations includes Arcus for spot and perpetual trading, alongside other major DeFi infrastructure providers. In June 2026, Robinhood recorded a monthly stock trading volume of $392 billion, compared to a total notional crypto trading volume of $16.3 billion across Robinhood and Bitstamp. That represents a roughly 24-fold difference.

COMPARISON WITH HYPERLIQUID
Let’s compare these figures with Hyperliquid, one of the most successful on-chain trading platforms in the crypto sector. Hyperliquid has demonstrated that on-chain derivatives can attract massive volumes and generate substantial revenue for the protocol.
However, Robinhood’s current customer base operates in a vastly larger traditional stock market. What would happen if even a small fraction of that activity migrated on-chain?
Tokenized stocks could serve as collateral in DeFi, be traded 24/7, and interact with lending protocols and derivatives markets. Arcus could capitalize on this convergence by offering a unified platform for spot assets and perpetual markets spanning stocks, indices, commodities, and cryptocurrencies.
Arcus has already launched 24/7 trading for over 95 tokenized US stocks, alongside perpetual markets currently in beta. Robinhood is also among the project's strategic investors.
Early signs of success are noteworthy. Public data indicates daily perpetual trading volumes on Arcus in the $300–$400 million range, figures that remain quite small relative to the platform's true potential.

RWA NARRATIVE AND ARCUS AIRDROP
Arcus sits at the intersection of several high-impact narratives: RWA (Real World Assets), tokenized stocks, on-chain derivatives, Robinhood’s distribution capabilities, and the ongoing expansion of DeFi beyond native crypto assets. Should Robinhood Chain become a benchmark for tokenized financial markets, protocols already building solutions there could be uniquely positioned to capture demand. Furthermore, Arcus has launched a points campaign ahead of a future token distribution (airdrop), meaning current activity could prove significant for a potential airdrop. The risk-reward thesis is straightforward: the market may still be underestimating the implications of a major retail broker bringing traditional finance on-chain. Hyperliquid has demonstrated that on-chain perpetual contracts can operate at scale. Robinhood could help bring millions of traditional market participants into the on-chain economy, and Arcus aims to be one of the platforms facilitating this activity.

POINTS CAMPAIGN
If you were on the whitelist, the perpetuals feature has been enabled, so you can trade both spot and perpetuals. Points are distributed every Wednesday (19:00 UTC).

How can you optimize or boost your points?
1) Trade/swap RWAs or stocks.
2) Trade on weekends (when volumes are lower and stock markets are closed).
3) If trading perpetuals, avoid rapidly opening and closing positions. Open a position and keep it open for a while with Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) orders active.
4) You can also trade spot (using USDG); you aren't strictly required to trade perpetuals.

Please note that this is not trading or investment advice. Trade responsibly and know what you are doing. You don't need huge amounts of capital; even $100 is enough by using 10x or 20x leverage, you can generate $2k–$4k in volume (combining the opening and closing of the trade). Forget the traders in movies who lose millions of dollars. In trading, if your margin (deposit) is $100 and you use 20x leverage, you have $2,000 of capital in play; however, if you set a $2 stop loss, you cannot lose more than $2 on that open position!

The goal isn't to get rich from trading, but to earn as many points as possible!

PS: This article might seem like it’s solely focused on earning points. That’s not the case. Arcus is an excellent product/exchange featuring high liquidity, non-KYC trading, and a non-custodial model. Plus, the ability to trade stocks on-chain over the weekend or simply hold them spot is revolutionary. I focused this article on farming because I’m not a speculative trader; I prefer holding. That said, I definitely want to be part of the party when Arcus drops its token to early users!
