Arcus has launched 24/7 zero-fee trading for over 95 tokenized stocks on Robinhood Chain, the company announced via Crypto Briefing. The platform also introduced a beta version of perpetual futures, offering up to 50x leverage. The move brings traditional equity exposure into a DeFi wrapper, letting users trade tokenized shares around the clock without paying commissions.
Tokenized stocks on Robinhood Chain
The new offering covers more than 95 tokenized equities, including major names from US and global markets. Trading is live 24/7 with zero fees — a sharp contrast to traditional brokerages that charge per trade and close on weekends. Arcus built the product on Robinhood Chain, a network designed for high-throughput financial applications. Users can buy and sell tokenized shares directly, with settlement happening on-chain.
Perpetual futures in beta
Alongside the stock trading, Arcus opened a beta for perpetual futures. The product supports up to 50x leverage, letting traders amplify their positions on tokenized assets. The beta is live now, though Arcus hasn't said when it will exit beta or what the full fee structure will look like. Perpetuals are a staple in crypto derivatives, and adding them to a platform that already offers tokenized stocks creates a one-stop shop for leveraged exposure to equities.
For retail traders, the combination of zero-fee stock trading and high-leverage perpetuals is unusual. Most platforms charge for either the stock access or the derivatives. Arcus is betting that bundling both on a single chain will attract users who want to move between spot equities and leveraged positions without leaving the ecosystem. The 24/7 nature of the stock trading also removes the constraint of market hours — a common complaint among crypto-native traders who are used to round-the-clock markets.
The beta for perpetuals is live now. Arcus hasn't disclosed a timeline for the full launch or whether it will add more tokenized stocks beyond the initial 95.
