<p>We're expanding your options onchain. Starting today, Robinhood Chain is supported in the Blockchain DeFi Wallet.&nbsp;</p>
<p>This means you can now swap 190+ tokens on Robinhood Chain through our built-in DEX, and hold, send and receive them directly from your DeFi Wallet. They sit alongside the other networks you already use, like Ethereum, Solana and Bitcoin.</p>
<h2 id="why-robinhood-chain">Why Robinhood Chain?</h2>
<p>Robinhood Chain is an Ethereum layer 2 network built on Arbitrum technology. It was built to onboard traditional markets and real worlds assets onto a single network, facilitating continuous onchain trading for assets like equities and ETFs. Stock tokens are the focal point of this chain. The chain went live on public mainnet on 1 July 2026, after a public testnet that opened in February.</p>
<p>The network's differentiation from other layer-2s lies in its purpose for not just crypto activity, but for regulated financial assets, built to institution's standards. With fast block times and low-cost transactions that settle to Ethereum it has seen a spike in ecosystem growth of tokens and DeFi apps.&nbsp;</p>
<h2 id="whats-new-in-your-defi-wallet">What's new in your DeFi Wallet</h2>
<p>With this update, you can now:</p>
<ul>
<li>Swap 190+ tokens on Robinhood Chain through the integrated DEX, without leaving your wallet</li>
<li>Hold, send and receive tokens on Robinhood Chain</li>
<li>Stay in full control: the DeFi Wallet is self-custodial, so you hold the keys to your tokens</li>
</ul>
<p>No separate wallet needed.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<h2 id="the-future-is-multi-chain">The future is multi-chain</h2>
<p>We're committed to giving you access to the networks that matter, in one wallet you control. Adding Robinhood Chain is the next step toward a truly multi-chain DeFi experience.</p>
<p>Stay tuned. There's more on the way.</p>

Now Presenting Options Trading in the Blockchain App

<p>It&rsquo;s 2011. A small apartment in York, England. Inclement weather outside. Inside, a wild and fiery belief that a new thing called crypto was going to change the world. Amid these conditions, Blockchain was forged, with a vision toward greater human economic freedom.</p>
<p>Cut to 2026 and digital assets have indeed changed the financial world, and in the process, Blockchain has dramatically changed too. Today we&rsquo;re celebrating our fifteenth birthday &ndash; one of the very oldest in the industry &ndash; so it&rsquo;s a fitting occasion to look back on how far we&rsquo;ve come. Some of the highlights along the way:&nbsp;</p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>2011</strong> &mdash; Blockchain.info launches the world&rsquo;s first Bitcoin explorer and quickly becomes the most visited crypto website in the world.</p>
<p><strong>2012</strong> &mdash; First hybrid cloud Bitcoin wallet launched.</p>
<p><strong>2013</strong> &mdash; Wallet surpasses 500,000 users.</p>
<p><strong>2014</strong> &mdash; 10 weeks later, 1M+ wallet milestone eclipsed.</p>
<p><strong>2015 </strong>&mdash; Wallet surpasses 5M users.</p>
<p><strong>2016</strong> &mdash; Wallet grows to 10M users.</p>
<p><strong>2017</strong> &mdash; $40M Series B raised.</p>
<p><strong>2018</strong> &mdash; Institutional OTC trading desk launched.</p>
<p><strong>2019</strong> &mdash; Blockchain.com Exchange launched.</p>
<p><strong>2020</strong> &mdash; Reward Accounts introduced.</p>
<p><strong>2021</strong> &mdash; $300M Series C completed.</p>
<p><strong>2022</strong> &mdash; First crypto company to partner with an NFL team, the Dallas Cowboys.</p>
<p><strong>2023</strong> &mdash; $110M Series E secured.</p>
<p><strong>2024</strong> &mdash; New web wallet launched.</p>
<p><strong>2025</strong> &mdash; MiCA authorisation secured in EU. Total wallets exceed 90M.</p>
<p><strong>2026</strong> &mdash; Perpetual futures, crypto-backed loans, fixed-term rewards, prediction markets, and Blockchain Wealth all launched.&nbsp;</p>
<p></p>
<p>The Blockchain you see today is the work of an extraordinary team, past and present. Engineers, operators, compliance professionals, designers, and customer-facing colleagues in dozens of countries who have spent years of their lives dedicated to our mission. We&rsquo;re grateful for them every day, and proud of all that we&rsquo;ve built together.&nbsp;</p>
<p>For our customers, our work over the years has created safer places to store value and pass it on. For others, it means executing digital asset trades directly, with full visibility, instead of waiting on intermediaries who profit from that wait. For builders, it has meant infrastructure that lets a new crypto company become competitive in months or even weeks. The continued key to unlocking all of this potential is the same one we started with back in York, a decade and a half ago: Putting financial agency back in the hands of the person whose money it is.</p>
<p>We thank all our customers, partners and team members for supporting us and going on this amazing journey together. There is so much more to come in the next 15 years.</p>
<p>Onwards.</p>

<p>Blockchain, a global leader in crypto services for retail and institutional users, today announced that it has filed applications for registration as a Futures Commission Merchant (FCM) and designation as a Designated Contract Market (DCM) with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).</p>
<p>If approved, the registrations would allow Blockchain to bring regulated crypto derivatives like futures and options as well as prediction market contracts to U.S. retail and institutional customers, expanding the range of markets accessible through its platform.</p>
<p>U.S. traders navigate an increasingly fragmented landscape, often using separate platforms to access crypto and prediction markets. Blockchain is seeking to change that by bringing these markets together through one integrated, simple app experience under CFTC regulatory oversight.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Earlier this year, Blockchain announced self-custodied&nbsp;<a href="https://www.blockchain.com/blog/posts/blockchain-partners-with-polymarket">prediction market offerings</a> and <a href="https://www.blockchain.com/blog/posts/blockchaincom-launches-global-self-custodied-perpetual-futures-trading">perpetual futures trading</a> for users in eligible markets around the world. The CFTC license applications are a step toward bringing similar prediction markets and regulated trading offerings directly to U.S. users in the Blockchain app.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Users should be able to manage their digital assets, trade derivatives, and take positions on real-world events easily, without jumping between different apps,&rdquo;<strong> said Peter Smith, Executive Chairman, CEO, and Co-Founder of Blockchain.com. </strong>&ldquo;Our DCM and FCM applications build toward that future in the U.S. through the appropriate regulatory frameworks. We want customers to be able to access a broader universe of markets through the Blockchain.com platform they already trust, with the compliance, security and transparency they expect.&rdquo;</p>
<p>The CFTC filings advance Blockchain's global regulatory strategy. As digital assets become more deeply integrated into financial markets worldwide, Blockchain has continued to invest in regulatory approvals and licensing across major jurisdictions.</p>
<p>Over the past year, the company has secured MiCA authorization through the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) in the EU, achieved Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) registration in the UK, and secured a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) license in the Cayman Islands. Pursuing federal CFTC oversight reflects the same approach in the U.S., working within clear regulatory frameworks and with institutional-grade infrastructure.</p>

<h2 id="user-content-highlights">Highlights</h2>
<h3 id="user-content-replies-keep-going-when-you-leave-the-chat-sep-7">Replies keep going when you leave the chat (Sep 7)</h3>
<p>You can switch to another chat or page while June is still replying. The reply keeps going in the background and is there when you come back. So you can ask something in one chat, start another question in a new chat, and have several replies generating at once. A dot in the sidebar shows which chats are still working. This also applies to Multi-Model replies and to image and video generations. Only the stop button cancels a reply now. Closing or reloading the tab still ends a text reply.</p>
<h3 id="user-content-search-chat-history-has-been-rebuilt-sep-8">Search Chat History has been rebuilt (Sep 8)</h3>
<p>Search is faster, and it now looks through every message in every chat. Before, it looked at no more than 50 messages in each chat.</p>
<ul style="list-style-type: disc;">
<li>Results match whole words, so "RAM" no longer finds "frame" or "program". The last word you type still matches as you type it.</li>
<li>Longer words still match if you make one typo.</li>
<li>Results are ranked by relevance. You can switch to sorting by&nbsp;<strong>Newest</strong>.</li>
<li>You can search&nbsp;<strong>All</strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Titles</strong>,&nbsp;<strong>My messages</strong>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<strong>Assistant messages</strong>.</li>
<li>Each result shows how many matches it has and highlights the words that matched.</li>
<li>Your chats are encrypted on your device, so search runs privately in your browser and nothing is sent to a server.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="user-content-models-remember-their-reasoning-across-turns-sep-29">Models remember their reasoning across turns (Sep 29)</h3>
<p>Reasoning models now get back the thinking from their earlier replies in the same conversation. Follow-up questions like "show me the steps you used" now get an answer, where before the model would say it couldn't see its earlier reasoning. It also makes follow-ups more consistent, and lets more of each long conversation be cached, so it's quicker to process. Messages from before this change are not affected.</p>

What's new in June: September 2026

June Release Notes: September 2026

<ul>
<li>
<p>Two new AI IPO prediction markets powered by Polymarket are now available in the Blockchain app</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Take a position on Anthropic&rsquo;s potential IPO timing or OpenAI&rsquo;s market cap at the close of its first trading day</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Both markets are available for eligible users through Predictions</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Anthropic and OpenAI are at the epicenter of two closely watched potential IPOs in 2026. Now, eligible users can take a view on what may unfold once the companies go public through Predictions in the Blockchain app.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Instead of just debating what might happen, users can take a position on a specific outcome. From Anthropic&rsquo;s potential listing date to OpenAI&rsquo;s market cap on its first day of trading, these markets offer a new way to engage with major IPO events before anyone knows how they&rsquo;ll pan out.</p>
<h2><strong>Two new markets. Your call. </strong><strong>&nbsp;</strong></h2>
<h4><strong>When could Anthropic go public?</strong></h4>
<p>Think you know when Anthropic will make its public market debut? The company has been moving toward a potential listing, putting its IPO timing under a magnifying glass in the AI sector.</p>
<p>The &ldquo;When Will Anthropic IPO?&rdquo; market lets you take a position on when the company could make its move.</p>
<h4><strong>What could OpenAI be worth on day one?</strong></h4>
<p>Making a call on the &ldquo;OpenAI IPO Closing Market Cap&rdquo; market lets you take a view on OpenAI&rsquo;s value at the close of its first day of public trading.</p>
<p>These new markets offer two ways to follow and engage in the AI IPO conversation &ndash; one centered on timing and the other on valuation.&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Prediction markets turn opinions into markets</strong></h2>
<p>IPO speculation usually means reading headlines, following valuations and debating what might happen next.</p>
<p>Prediction markets add another layer by letting users back their view tied to real-world outcomes. Market prices move as positions change, showing how expectations can shift over time.</p>
<p>Prediction markets do not use margin or leverage; users simply choose the amount to commit to a position. The Anthropic and OpenAI markets build on Blockchain&rsquo;s broader prediction markets offering, first introduced with Polymarket earlier this summer. <a href="https://www.blockchain.com/blog/posts/blockchain-partners-with-polymarket">Read more about the launch and our approach to prediction markets here.</a></p>
<p></p>
<p><em>Restrictions and eligibility requirements apply. Not available in all jurisdictions. Prediction Markets Protocols involve risk and you may lose the entire amount committed to a market.</em></p>
<p><em>Access to Prediction Market Protocols via the Blockchain DeFi Wallet is provided by Blockchain Labs Limited. By using the DeFi Wallet Interface, you interact directly with third-party decentralised protocols.

Two new Polymarket prediction markets let eligible users take a view on the timing and size of major AI IPOs

The AI IPO Race Is on The Blockchain App

<ul>
<li>Blockchain and the New York Stock Exchange are exploring 24/7/365 access to tokenized U.S. exchange-listed stocks and ETFs for customers around the world.</li>
<li>
<p>A newly signed agreement also connects data layers &ndash; stock and crypto data will flow between the two platforms, giving users deeper market intelligence.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Today, Blockchain and the NYSE Group announced an agreement for a strategic collaboration to explore what onchain access to U.S. equities could look like at global scale. The collaboration&rsquo;s aim is to give crypto-native investors everywhere the ability to trade tokenized versions of NYSE-listed stocks and ETFs, without the constraints of market hours, geography, or brokerage access.</p>
<p>At its core, it&rsquo;s a bet by both parties on where capital markets are heading. <a href="https://www.citigroup.com/global/insights/tokenization-2030">Citi Institute</a> puts the tokenized asset market at a $5.5 trillion base case by 2030, and the appeal is straightforward: fractional ownership, always-on trading, global reach, and transparent settlement that happens onchain. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission also recently <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2026/09/17/sec-clears-path-for-tokenized-stocks-bringing-24/7-trading-closer.html">announced</a> a regulatory pathway supporting innovation in tokenized securities.</p>
<p><em>&ldquo;Tokenized stocks are one of the most impactful advancements in the modern financial landscape, and a key catalyst for greater economic freedom. People shouldn&rsquo;t be limited in owning stocks based on where they happen to live or the brokerage and information they may or may not have access to. Connecting to the NYSE digital ATS will enable us to extend the opportunity to invest in these digital assets to tens of millions of Blockchain.com users around the world.&rdquo;</em> &ndash; Peter Smith, Executive Chairman, CEO, and Co-Founder of Blockchain.com</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The collaboration goes well beyond tokenization; it also opens up a two-way data exchange.</p>
<p>NYSE&rsquo;s affiliated business, ICE Data Services, will distribute our crypto market data and analytics to its subscribing clients, giving traditional investors sharper visibility into digital assets.</p>
<p>On the other end, we will bring ICE and NYSE exchange data feeds into our app, putting real-time stock data in front of more than 44 million confirmed accounts to boost their market intelligence and investment decisions. One of the first places that data will surface is <a href="https://www.blockchain.com/blog/posts/your-data-your-ai-introducing-june-by-blockchaincom">June, our crypto-savvy AI assistant</a>.</p>
<p>Earlier this year, we <a href="https://www.blockchain.com/blog/posts/blockchaincom-ondo-finance-launch-onchain-tokenized-us-stocks-across-europe">partnered with Ondo Finance</a> to launch onchain tokenized U.S. stocks to customers across Europe. This new agreement with NYSE represents another step in the direction of broader global convergence of capital markets and digital assets, building toward a future state where crypto-native and traditional finance cease to operate in separate lanes while ensuring greater economic freedom and investment opportunities that are accessible to all.</p>

Blockchain.com and NYSE Team Up to Explore Tokenization

Blockchain.com and NYSE Team Up to Explore Tokenized Securities

<p>This season, Blockchain is working alongside the Dallas Cowboys to launch a brand-new commercial and partnership branding that feels right at home in Dallas. The localized campaign brings together confidence, commitment, and one unmistakable message: At Blockchain, we help our customers make moves that are <em>right on the money</em>.</p>
<h2><strong>A Campaign Built for Dallas</strong></h2>
<p>Already streaming live and playing throughout preseason games, our newest commercial captures the energy, legacy, and attitude that define Cowboys football. Written and directed entirely by our Chief Marketing Officer, James Maddison, the commercial and messaging was created for the 2026 to 2027 season and brings together Blockchain&rsquo;s Dallas roots, our longstanding connection to the Cowboys, and a campaign built around the value of precision and execution.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The message is bold and simple, to match our new red branding featured around the stadium: Whether you are making a play on the field or making a move in crypto, getting it right when it matters counts.</p>
<p>That is where &ldquo;All Cattle, No Hat&rdquo; comes in.</p>
<h2><strong>All Cattle, No Hat</strong></h2>
<p>The line &ldquo;All Cattle, No Hat,&rdquo; featured in the commercial, is an intentional spin on the classic Texas saying &ldquo;All Hat, No Cattle,&rdquo; which describes someone who talks the part without backing it up with action. We flipped the phrase to represent the opposite: substance over show and capability over empty posture. Former Cowboys safety Keith Davis brings that attitude to life at the center of the commercial.</p>
<p>The message is about having the substance to back up the confidence and letting actions speak for themselves. That mindset is a natural fit for both Keith Davis and Blockchain. For our customers, we aim to be the partner that stands behind our word and provides the tools, access, and reliability they need to pursue their goals with confidence.</p>
<p>That same sense of follow through defined Keith&rsquo;s time with the Cowboys. He was known for pouring everything into every play, bringing toughness, determination, and an all in mentality to the field. His reputation was built on showing up and delivering when it mattered most.</p>
<p>Together, that mindset brings &ldquo;All Cattle, No Hat&rdquo; to life and connects directly to our larger message: <em>right on the money</em>.</p>
<h2><strong>Right on the Money</strong></h2>
<p>&ldquo;Right on the Money&rdquo; sits at the heart of our new campaign at AT&amp;T Stadium, capturing the confidence and execution that connect Cowboys football with the world of investing. Cowboys football is built around reading the moment, trusting your instincts, and executing when the pressure is on. Navigating financial markets requires that same sense of purpose and conviction. The new advertising taps into the larger-than-life spirit of Cowboys football while connecting it to something every investor can understand, which is the desire to make the right move when it matters most.&nbsp;</p>
<p>That idea comes to life visually through Blockchain&rsquo;s new red branding throughout the stadium. Bold, confident, and impossible to miss, the creative reinforces the decisiveness behind &ldquo;right on the money.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Keith built his reputation by boldly stepping onto the field ready to make the play when it counted most. Blockchain wants to give investors that same sense of confidence when navigating their financial future.</p>
<p>It is a meeting of two Dallas brands and one shared mentality: know the moment, make your move, and be <em>right on the money.</em></p>
