Robinhood CEO: The future of cryptocurrency lies in real-world assets, not Memecoin.
PANews reported on July 3rd that, according to The Block, Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev stated in an interview with CNBC that the key to growth in the crypto industry lies in the on-chaining of real-world assets, not meme tokens. Tenev stated, "If an asset isn't linked to underlying utility, it's not a productive asset," and believes that traditional finance and crypto are converging. He added, "Everything that runs on traditional tracks will eventually be on-chain and tokenized, like an unstoppable freight train." Robinhood launched its Stock Tokens service on Wednesday, allowing qualified users to trade tokenized stocks 24/7, and plans to offer exposure to private companies like OpenAI. Tenev stated that Bitcoin won't become irrelevant, but the next phase of growth in the industry will come from the tokenization of real-world assets.

On July 2nd, Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev stated in an interview with CNBC that AI-powered trading will be a completely new category.

In the future, AI agents may be able to help ordinary people participate in the market, just like professional traders, further lowering the barriers to financial investment.

On July 1st, Lighter became Robinhood's official perpetual contract partner. Lighter is directly integrated into Robinhood Wallet, supporting perpetual contract trading using Robinhood Chain assets as collateral.

Cosmos Labs Co-CEO: dYdX's shift to RWA is a rational choice with limited impact on ATOM.
According to Foresight News , Cosmos Labs co-CEO Barry Plunkett tweeted his comments on dYdX's partnership with Robinhood to launch Arcus. dYdX has proven it can run seriously on-chain and drive industry development, but in recent years has faced pressure from new-generation perpetual contract competitors like Hyperliquid and Lighter, the overall decline of DeFi, and Web 2.5 products like Kalshi. He sees dYdX's shift to RWA through its partnership with Robinhood, which has strong distribution capabilities, as a "rational choice." He believes the impact on ATOM is very limited. The dYdX Chain remains a sovereign chain, and its fees, security, and value accumulation contribute very little to ATOM. The ATOM community also did not pay for the migration of dYdX to Cosmos. This further confirms the Cosmos team's assessment: for teams with distribution capabilities and leading products, having an underlying platform is crucial. Cosmos is currently focused on building tokenized deposit solutions for banks.
dYdX launched Arcus, a DEX based on Robinhood Chain; the price of the token quickly fell after the news broke.
BlockBeats reported on July 2nd that dYdX Labs announced the launch of Arcus, a decentralized exchange based on the Robinhood Chain. Arcus supports 24/7 trading of 95 equity tokens, staking perpetual contracts, and mainstream cryptocurrencies, with zero fees for spot trading of equity tokens. According to HTX market data, the price of DYDX quickly fell yesterday afternoon, and accelerated its decline after the announcement, currently trading at $0.145, a 24-hour drop of 23.11%. The previous day, influenced by the announcement of a "major announcement," DYDX surged over 40% in 24 hours. The Arcus launch has raised concerns in the community about whether the new product will affect the independence and governance structure of the existing dYdX Chain. The dYdX Foundation clarified that Arcus will not affect the operation of the dYdX Chain, which remains governed by DYDX token holders and secured by a validator network. The foundation stated that trading, deposits, withdrawals, staking, governance, and validator operations on the dYdX Chain remain normal; the DYDX token, as the governance and staking token of the dYdX Chain, has no changes in its mechanism, supply, or operation. The foundation also stated that any adjustments to the validator set and related requirements still require approval from the dYdX community governance.
