Arcus
Stocks are moving on-chain, bringing 24/7 access, faster settlement, and self-custody to markets that were once locked behind traditional broker accounts.
Robinhood, the Nasdaq-listed trading platform known for making stocks, ETFs, options, and crypto easier to access, is now pushing that shift further with Robinhood Chain, a Layer 2 network for tokenized assets and on-chain financial markets.
Arcus is one of the first decentralized trading apps bringing that vision to life ⚡
Built by the team behind dYdX in partnership with Robinhood Crypto, Arcus brings 0% Spot trading fees, tokenized stocks, and Perps trading with up to 50x leverage to Robinhood Chain.
The platform gives traders one self-custodial place to access tokenized stocks, crypto, commodities, indices, and perps. Spot is for direct tokenized stock exposure without leverage, while Perps are for long and short positions with margin, funding, and liquidation rules.
Stock Tokens on Arcus are issued by Bitstamp and designed to track the economic value of real stocks. When a company pays a dividend, the value is reinvested into the stock backing the token and reflected automatically in the displayed balance.
🪂 Arcus: Fee Discount, Perps Waitlist, and Arcus Token Airdrop
A post from dYdX founder Antonio Juliano confirms that an allocation of any future Arcus token will be reserved for the dYdX community. That does not confirm a public Arcus airdrop, but it does show that a future token is already part of the conversation.
The current user action is clear: join Arcus through the AirdropAlert referral link, get 5% off all trading fees, enable trading, access the live Spot market, and join the Perps waitlist.
Active traders can improve their place in the queue by connecting wallets with previous perps activity on supported venues like dYdX v3, dYdX v4, Hyperliquid, and Lighter.
Referrers earn a percentage of net trading fees paid by referred traders, plus a smaller percentage of net trading fees down to 3 total levels:
• 10% from level 1 referrals
• 3% from level 2 referrals
• 2% from level 3 referrals
• Invited traders get 5% off
Explore the full step-by-step guide below to join Arcus and complete the main actions.
