Arbitrum Bridge Goes Live

Arbitrum One has achieved a significant milestone by becoming the first blockchain network to host over 3,000 tokenized real-world assets (RWAs). This represents substantial growth from April 2026, when the network had 1,904 RWAs valued at $839M. The platform has maintained its position as the leading network for RWA settlement, demonstrating 330% year-over-year growth. The achievement reinforces the trend toward tokenizing traditional assets on blockchain infrastructure, with Arbitrum's Layer 2 scaling solution proving particularly attractive for this use case.

**Arbitrum continues expansion across tokenization, perpetuals, and payments:** - **RWA Leadership**: Arbitrum leads all blockchains with 3,207 real-world assets, including $340M in tokenized EU government bonds - **Perpetuals Growth**: Variational's open interest surged 85% since June to $1.39B; OndoPerps selected Arbitrum for USDC deposits - **Payment Milestones**: Crypto card payments reached $32.8M, led by KoloHub, Tria, and Bitget Wallet - **Infrastructure Launches**: T3tris deployed zero-fee vault infrastructure; PheasantNetwork and MossAI brought AI agent trading to the network - **Stablecoin Integration**: Ramp enabled USDC/USDT deposits for US businesses; El Dorado added support for both stablecoins - **Ecosystem Support**: Open House Singapore launched with $415k in prizes for early-stage teams Robinhood Chain crossed $4M in total revenue as adoption accelerates across the Arbitrum ecosystem.

Robinhood Chain has reached **$4M in total revenue**, doubling its previous milestone of $2M achieved just two weeks ago on July 22nd. **Key metrics:** - Total Tokenized Value: $29M (new high) - Cumulative transactions: 100M+ in three weeks - 240K new stock token holders added in 30 days The revenue growth demonstrates the business viability of building on Arbitrum's infrastructure. Through the AEP (Arbitrum Expansion Program) fee structure, a portion of Robinhood Chain's revenue flows back to support the broader Arbitrum ecosystem. This milestone comes as tokenization and programmable finance continue gaining traction on Arbitrum, with multiple platforms enabling real estate tokenization, GPU financing, and stablecoin integration across major consumer apps.
