Renzo

Renzo Basis has launched its first tokenized equities — NVDA, GOOGL, SNDK and QQQ stock tokens — powered by Lighter and Robinhood. Users automatically earn $USDG yields on these names entirely from their own account, with no pooling or custody by Renzo. Renzo amplified the rollout by reposting Route 2 FI's note that the four names yield 10%+ APR from a single click.

The launch delivers on the earlier tease that promised equity perps from Lighter, the perp DEX built on Hyperliquid, after its progress bar hit 88%. RWA basis yields remain flagged as an upcoming extension, while Renzo Basis continues to offer its crypto basis markets across Hyperliquid and Robinhood.

Renzo reiterated its warning that users still holding $ezETH on the Blast network must bridge their funds out before October 26th, stressing that assets left on the chain when it shuts down may not be recoverable. The notice points to the ezETH Bridge and warns recipients to beware of malicious links amid the messaging. The reminder follows Blast's announcement that it is winding down its Layer 2 because operating costs exceed revenue, with withdrawals expected to close around late October 2026.

• Renzo urges ezETH holders on Blast to bridge to Mainnet before the October 26th cutoff
• Assets remaining on the chain at shutdown may not be recoverable
• Renzo flags phishing risk, directing users to the official ezETH Bridge

The notice is separate from Renzo's recent Renzo Basis product expansions on Hyperliquid and Robinhood.

Renzo's native token $REZ is being listed on South Korean exchange Bithumb, which added a $REZ/KRW trading pair. The listing was announced via the exchange's official account and relayed by Renzo Finance.

• Broadens liquidity and access for the REZ token to Korean retail traders

Robinhood Chain announced more than 15 new integrations and launches spanning cross-chain and liquidity rails, naming NEAR Protocol and Hyperliquid among the additions. The announcement was relayed by Renzo Finance, which has been expanding its Renzo Basis product across Hyperliquid and Robinhood.

• The integrations broaden Robinhood Chain's cross-chain and liquidity connectivity
• Renzo Finance shared the update as part of its ongoing Robinhood expansion

Renzo has issued a statement saying its Renzo Basis product was "built specifically for times like this," amid an external market event affecting other yield products. The protocol stressed that Basis's risk and liquidity are not pooled into a stablecoin or vault and remain 100% verifiable onchain, so users don't have to trust Renzo to know they are not impacted by the event.

Renzo pointed to its app for details, framing the product's non-custodial, self-custodied design as protection against events tied to pooled or vaulted yield structures. The statement reinforces the positioning behind Renzo Basis's recent expansions across Hyperliquid, Robinhood and its Basis Boost rewards program.

Renzo Basis has expanded its basis trade lineup on Hyperliquid with five new assets — $PURR, $FARTCOIN, $ENA, $PUMP and $SOL — offering average APRs up to 41%. Users earn USDC yields on these basis trades directly from their own Hyperliquid account, with Basis Boost rewards available to new depositors.

Renzo Basis's Basis Boost rewards program for stablecoin deposits is now live, and the protocol says spots are filling up. Users who open a first position earn a USDC bonus paid directly to their Hyperliquid address.

• Basis Boost's first 100 deposits get early access to rewards before anyone else
• Bonuses are paid in USDC to a user's own Hyperliquid address
• Builds on Renzo Basis's existing perp basis yield product for stablecoin holders

Renzo Basis has expanded its assets on Hyperliquid, adding $ZEC and $ETH alongside the existing $BTC and $HYPE markets. New USDC yields are 9.40% on ETH and 18.92% on ZEC, which the protocol frames as high stablecoin yields paid directly through a user's own Hyperliquid account.

Users' funds remain in their own Hyperliquid account, managed by a trade-only key that cannot withdraw and can be revoked at any time, keeping full control while earning perp basis yield.

Renzo Finance has brought its Renzo Basis product to Robinhood, enabling automatic perp basis yield for users on the platform. The move extends the rebranded protocol's first product beyond its own app, letting Robinhood users earn basis yield with automated safeguards and fine-tuned control over their strategies.

• Renzo Basis lets users earn perp basis yield and keep all of it, with automated safeguards
• Availability on Robinhood follows the launch of Renzo Basis and the earlier tease of a Renzo 2.0 yield product starting at 12%+ APY, which the protocol frames as a step up from the roughly 6% it cites as typical for new yield products

Upbit has confirmed it will list Renzo (REZ), supporting the USDT market, with trading opening on 2026-09-10 at 15:00 KST. The announcement follows Renzo's brief reintroduction of the $REZ token on its official account, which had teased the Upbit connection without confirming specific details.

• Listing on Korea's Upbit exchange with a USDT trading pair
• Renzo had previously restated its token presence alongside the exchange with few specifics
