24/7 Trading Model: Robinhood's launch of 24/7 stock token trading on its new layer-2 blockchain allows users to trade at any hour, breaking traditional trading time constraints and enhancing user flexibility and market responsiveness.
Technical Infrastructure: The Robinhood Chain mainnet launched on the Arbitrum platform supports trading of tokenized stocks, enabling transactions on a secondary chain that reduces reliance on traditional exchanges, thereby enhancing trading continuity and efficiency.
Market Competitive Advantage: Unlike traditional brokerages that incrementally extend trading hours, Robinhood's initiative demonstrates a structural commitment to continuous trading, potentially attracting retail investors eager to react swiftly to global news events, thus increasing market share.
Regulatory and Liquidity Challenges: While the new chain offers convenience, it raises concerns about market depth and liquidity, particularly during off-peak hours, where thin order books could lead to wider spreads and diminished execution quality, posing potential risks to user experience.

About ARB

Arbitrum is an Ethereum layer-two (L2) scaling solution. It uses optimistic rollups to achieve its goal of improving speed, scalability and cost-efficiency on Ethereum. Arbitrum benefits from the security and compatibility of Ethereum. Another benefit is the higher throughput and lower fees compared to Ethereum. That is made possible thanks to moving most of the computation and storage load off-chain.Arbitrum’s native token is called ARB and is used for governance. Offchain Labs, the developers behind Arbitrum, announced the shift to a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) structure — the Arbitrum DAO. ARB holders can vote on proposals that affect the features, protocol upgrades, funds allocation and election of a Security Council.Arbitrum has an ambitious roadmap for 2023, which includes: Launching its own layer-three solution called Orbit; Enabling developers to deploy programs written in popular programming languages like Rust, C++, and more using Stylus; Expanding its validator set to include more independent institutional validators; Moving its protocol to layer two with Arbitrum One.On March 16, 2023, Arbitrum announced their highly anticipated airdrop of ARB. The token will be airdropped to early users and DAOs building on Arbitrum, with 12.75% of the total supply to be distributed. Recipients were rewarded on a point-based system depending on their interaction with the Arbitrum network until a cutoff date of March 1, 2023. The token generation event is on March 23, 2023.
