š° Corporate chain land grab: Base, Tempo, Robinhood Chain
šļø Jul 04 2026 16:11 UTC - Lawrence Mondal
Robinhood just launched its own blockchain, joining Coinbase and Stripe. Why every giant now builds its own chain, and what it costs neutral L1s.
ā¤ Major consumer companies like Robinhood, Coinbase, and Stripe are increasingly building their own blockchains ('corporate chains') to control infrastructure and capture value, moving away from relying on neutral public networks.
ā¤ Robinhood's launch of its own Ethereum Layer 2 network, Robinhood Chain, for tokenized equities and DeFi integration, exemplifies this trend, aiming to leverage its large user base and existing custody assets.
ā¤ This shift raises concerns about the future of neutral blockchains and developer autonomy, as corporate control concentrates value and attention, though permissionless features and exit options offer some user protection against potential conflicts of interest and regulatory scrutiny.
