What is Robinhood's New L2 Blockchain？

Robinhood Chain is Robinhoods (@RobinhoodApp) own Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain, and its public mainnet went live on July 1, 2026. It is built to move tokenized stocks, DeFi products and AI-driven trading onto a network that connects straight into Robinhoods app and self-custody wallet. The company switched it on at a London keynote called “The World is Flat,” and HOOD stock climbed more than 8% after the event.　　The more interesting part is what is not new here. Under the branding, Robinhood Chain is a fairly standard Layer 2. The story is less about the technology and more about who is pushing millions of users toward it.　　What is Robinhood Chain built on？　　Robinhood Chainruns on Arbitrums Orbit technology, the same stack behind many custom Layer 2 networks. It settles transactions on Ethereum as an optimistic rollup and uses ETH to pay for gas. There is no separate Robinhood chain token for governance or fees, at least none that the company has announced.　　That design gives it Ethereums security while keeping costs lower than the base layer. Robinhood claims block times of roughly 100 milliseconds, which is fast for a Layer 2 and aimed at trading. The network is fully compatible with Ethereum tooling,

Belgian police arrest suspected phishing gang leader tied to $572K theft

Belgian authorities arrested a 19-year-old suspected of being a key figure in a European phishing and money-laundering network that stole more than 500,000 euros ($572,000) using fake government emails and phone calls to trick victims into installing remote-access software.　　Authorities detained the suspect in an Airbnb in Antwerp, where a second suspect was also found. The Federal Judicial Police launched the investigation in March 2026, when phishing attacks became a priority in the region, according to a Thursday police report.　　The main suspect was brought before an investigating judge, who issued an arrest warrant. The gang used money mules and cash carriers and laundered the proceeds through cryptocurrencies.　　The investigation shows that crypto can play multiple roles in phishing operations, including as a means of laundering illicit proceeds.　　Phishing dominates crypto security losses　　Phishing is also a major threat to cryptocurrency investors, accounting for the majority of the $482 million lost in the first quarter of 2026. Phishing and social engineering attacks accounted for $306 million of those losses, according to Hacken.　　Phishing attacks and social engineering scams are a long-standing hurdle for the crypto industry, as attackers exploit human behavior rather than the code of a protocol.　　On May 25, onchain analyst “b-block” warned that scammers

Zcashs Ironwood upgrade faces possible delay over infrastructure readiness

Shielded Labs has raised the possibility of delaying Zcashs Ironwood network upgrade, warning that ecosystem participants like exchanges, mining pools and wallets may not have enough time to prepare their systems for the planned activation in late July.　　Jason McGee, executive director of Shielded Labs, said in a Zcash community forum post that two major projects are moving forward at the same time. Alongside Ironwood, infrastructure providers are being asked to replace Zcashs longstanding node and wallet software, zcashd, with a new collection of tools known as the Z3 stack.　　The concerns highlight the trade-off between quickly restoring confidence in Zcashs shielded supply and giving ecosystem participants enough time to deploy and audit the new infrastructure safely.　　Ironwood was proposed after researchers discovered an “infinity” bug in Orchard, Zcashs main private transaction pool. The flaw could theoretically have allowed an attacker to create an unlimited amount of counterfeit ZEC tokens inside the pool without detection. Developers said there was no evidence that the pool had been exploited. However, Orchards privacy features make it impossible to prove that no fake coins were created.Source: Zooko Wilcox　　Ironwood rollout collides with Zcash software migration　　Ironwood would open a replacement private pool and prevent new activity inside the existing

Revolut to delist USDT in August, citing regulatory and risk concerns

Revolut, a crypto-friendly digital banking platform headquartered in the United Kingdom, notified some users it will delist Tether USDt (USDT) stablecoin in August, citing regulatory and risk concerns.　　In a Friday customer notice seen by Cointelegraph, Revolut said users will no longer be able to buy USDT starting July 6, with full delisting scheduled for Aug. 31, 2026.　　If users do not sell or withdraw their USDT by the end of August, Revolut will automatically convert any remaining USDT holdings into users‘ base currency at the day’s exchange rate, the company said.　　USDT deposits will no longer be supported after July 30, 2026, after which any incoming USDT transfers will be rejected, it said.　　The move highlights how major fintech companies are adjusting stablecoin access in response to shifting regulatory frameworks. It also raises questions about timing, as exchanges such as Coinbase began delisting USDT in Europe in 2024 to align with EUs Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) requirements.　　Revolut does not cite exact framework for delisting　　Revolut has not clarified whether the USDT delisting will apply globally or only in specific jurisdictions.　　Addressing the reasons for delisting USDT, Revolut cited “regulatory and risk considerations” without expanding what regulations specifically have triggered the move.Source: Cointelegraph　　The company was granted

Defendant files to dismiss New York lawsuit seeking ownership of 39,069 Bitcoin wallets

A pseudonymous defendant has moved to dismiss a New York lawsuit seeking ownership of 39,069 dormant Bitcoin addresses, arguing that Bitcoin addresses are merely data strings that cannot be sued.　　The defendant, identifying themselves as “John Doe 33,” filed a notice of appearance and motion to dismiss on Thursday, claiming they control one of the dormant wallets named in the lawsuit.　　According to the motion, the lawsuit is legally defective because Bitcoin address strings are neither persons nor legal entities subject to the courts jurisdiction. The filing argues that a public Bitcoin address cannot itself be “found” under New Yorks lost-property law because it has always been publicly visible on the blockchain.　　The filing challenges the lawsuit filed in May by plaintiff “Noah Doe” and two Wyoming-based LLCs, ABC Company and XYZ Company. The plaintiffs claim the Bitcoin tied to the listed addresses constitutes abandoned property that they reported to the New York Police Department and claimed under New York lost-property law.　　Regardless of how the court rules on ownership, it remains unclear how the plaintiffs could recover any Bitcoin without possessing the private keys needed to access the wallets.　　Defendant files a motion to dismiss the case seeking ownership of 39,069 Bitcoin wallets.
