This activity was in the same breath as Robinhood’s European platform which tokenized approximately 1k stocks on Arbitrum, a hybrid of traditional equities on blockchain.

The protocols pivoted towards policy advocacy; the Aave, Uniswap and Lido Alliance stood for the Ethereum Network Advocacy for Neutrality and global permissioned innovation policy advocacy.
