Arcus Launches Decentralized Exchange Merging Traditional Finance with DeFi

Arcus, a new decentralized exchange born from a collaboration between dYdX Labs and Robinhood Crypto, has officially launched after nearly a year of development.

The platform offers perpetual futures and tokenized equities, marking one of the more ambitious attempts to merge traditional finance assets with DeFi infrastructure.

Arcus currently supports live spot trading across 95 Stock Tokens and 35 Real World Asset perpetuals. Access to perpetual contracts remains on a waitlist for now, but traders can expect this core product to go live soon.

The platform runs on Robinhood Chain, an EVM-compatible Layer-2 solution that enables 24/7 trading.
