Robinhood-backed DEX Arkus expands into tokenised assets and perpetual futures
Robinhood Crypto-backed decentralised exchange Arkus has launched tokenised stocks and perpetual futures on Robinhood Chain, expanding beyond its spot market. The service, built by the dYdX development team, now lets users trade more than 95 stock tokens, perpetual markets, and cryptocurrencies via self-custody trading accounts. Collateral and settlement primarily use USDG, a stablecoin issued by Paxos. Stock tokens are unavailable in some restricted regions including the United States, Canada and Britain.
