Ep. 756 Tokenized Stocks Are Becoming the Next Big Trading Market

41m | Sep 28, 2026

In this episode of the Crypto 101 Podcast, Eddie Zhang, founder and CEO of Arcus, joins Bryce and Brendan to explain how Arcus became the leading DEX on Robinhood Chain. He breaks down why the team shifted toward RWAs, tokenized equities, and equity perpetuals after 10/10 exposed major weaknesses in crypto market structure, including centralized price dependency, correlated collateral, and liquidation risk. The conversation covers Robinhood Chain, perpetual contracts, tokenized stocks, stock tokens as collateral, zero-fee stock trading, global access to American equities, and why perps may become a simpler alternative to options for many traders.
