• 1inch joins as a launch partner on Robinhood Chain, the Arbitrum-based network built for real-world asset (RWA) trading
• Eligible users will be able to trade tokenized stocks, funds and other RWAs at any hour, including when traditional markets are closed 
• Robinhood Chain’s testnet has already reported more than $2 billion in RWA transfer volume

1inch, a leading DeFi ecosystem, today announced its integration of Robinhood Chain, Robinhood’s newly launched blockchain for tokenized real-world assets. As a key launch partner, 1inch will be among the first major routing and swap ecosystems to integrate the chain.

To date, Robinhood Chain has processed in excess of $2 billion RWA transfer volume through its testnet, highlighting the requirement for infrastructure capable of supporting tokenized asset markets at scale. As a launch partner, 1inch will facilitate swaps of Robinhood’s Stock Tokens and ETPs via its dApp, Wallet and its Swap API, from day one. 

The launch scope of the 1inch integration of Robinhood Chain includes support for an initial list of tokenized assets, onboarding of relevant liquidity sources, and Bitstamp-backed pricing data. From day one, 1inch is also set to implement the backend infrastructure required for pricing, gas estimation, balances, compliance checks, and transaction gateway services, while ensuring both Classic Swap and Fusion. Together, these components are designed to make 1inch fully prepared to support RWA trading on Robinhood Chain from day one.

RWA liquidity can be fragmented across issuers, venues and market participants. 1inch routing facilitates efficient access to available liquidity for users, with the additional capability of supporting intent-based execution when available. For RWA traders, this means less manual route hunting and a simpler path to execution.

“Robinhood Chain brings tokenized real-world assets on-chain. Our role is to provide the infrastructure that makes them liquid and tradable. As one of the largest US retail crypto platforms enters the RWA market, efficient routing, deep liquidity and reliable execution become increasingly important. That’s what 1inch has spent years building,” said Sergej Kunz, co-founder of 1inch.

“Robinhood Chain is designed to make digital assets in general, and tokenized RWAs in particular, more accessible, interoperable, and useful across the onchain ecosystem,” said Gaëtan Thabot, Director of Partnerships at Robinhood Crypto. “Integrations with infrastructure providers like 1inch help expand the ways eligible users and developers can access liquidity across tokenized assets on Robinhood Chain.”

Former McKinsey Senior Partner and Co-Leader of the Global Banking Sector joins Performativ following the company’s $14 million Series A led by Deutsche Börse Group 

Performativ, the next-generation operating system for wealth management, today announced the appointment of Jacob Dahl as Chair of its Board of Directors. Dahl, a former Senior Partner and Co-Leader of the Global Banking Sector at McKinsey & Company, brings more than three decades of experience across global banking, financial services, technology transformation, risk and compliance. 

Dahl’s appointment follows Performativ’s recent $14 million Series A funding round, led by Deutsche Börse Group, with participation from Rabo Investments, Jacob Dahl and existing investors including FinTech Collective and EIFO. His move from investor to Chair reflects continued confidence in Performativ’s mission to modernize the operational backbone of wealth management and support larger financial institutions as they replace fragmented legacy infrastructure with more integrated, AI-enabled operating models. 

“Performativ is addressing one of the most important challenges in wealth management: the need for modern, scalable infrastructure that can support increasingly complex client, data and regulatory requirements,” said Jacob Dahl, Chair of Performativ. “After more than 30 years working with banks and financial institutions around the world, I believe the industry is ready for a new operating model. Performativ’s unified platform and AI-native approach put the company in a strong position to support private banks, wealth managers and larger institutions through that transition.” 

Founded in 2020, Performativ provides a cloud-native platform that brings together portfolio management, performance and attribution analysis, risk analytics, compliance, reporting, multi-custodian data aggregation and trading in one operating system. The platform is designed to help wealth and asset managers, private banks and financial institutions reduce operational complexity, improve scalability and automate manual workflows across the wealth management value chain. 

Dahl has held senior leadership roles across Europe, Africa and Asia. At McKinsey & Company, he led banking practices across multiple regions, including Scandinavia, Africa, EEMA and Asia, and co-led the firm’s Global Banking Sector. Earlier in his career, he co-founded Basisbank and held senior roles in corporate banking, private banking and capital markets. 

“Jacob brings exceptional experience from the global banking industry and a deep understanding of the transformation challenges facing financial institutions,” said Albert Geisler Fox, CEO of Performativ. “As we expand further into the enterprise segment, his strategic guidance, industry knowledge and network will be highly valuable. We are pleased to welcome him as Chair and look forward to working closely with him in this next phase of Performativ’s growth.” 

The appointment strengthens Performativ’s position as the company continues to expand across Europe and increase its focus on private banks and larger financial institutions. With fresh capital, a growing client base and strengthened board leadership, Performativ is positioned to accelerate the adoption of integrated, AI-enabled infrastructure across the wealth management industry.

Istanbul, Türkiye, July 1st, 2026, FinanceWire

Türkiye’s leading digital asset platform expands into DeFi and equities, integrating Hyperliquid perpetuals, Polymarket option markets, and US and Turkish stocks in a single app 

Paribu, Türkiye’s leading digital asset platform, has launched DeFi access, covering DEX trading, perpetual contracts via Hyperliquid, and option markets via Polymarket and has opened an equity trading waitlist. The moves mark a strategic shift for the nine-year-old exchange as it builds toward a single app covering crypto, DeFi, yield, and equities.

Paribu is the first regulated exchange to deliver both Hyperliquid perpetuals and Polymarket option markets directly inside a CEX interface, without a separate wallet app. Users access all DeFi features from within the existing Paribu app, using their existing balance, through a fully self-custodial setup. Paribu delivers onchain access from within the exchange interface itself: same account, same balance, no separate app, no seed phrase. Every DeFi position is self-custodial, assets remain in the user’s own wallet at all times.

A single destination for investing across traditional and onchain markets

Türkiye ranks fifth globally in retail crypto activity, recording $40 billion in volume in Q1 2026 alone, growing 7% year-over-year amid an 11% global contraction (TRM Labs, April 2026). Until now, its retail investor base had no meaningful access to onchain perpetuals or option markets.

Existing integrations for both Hyperliquid and Polymarket have reached users already operating in DeFi wallet environments. Paribu brings these markets to a different audience: the millions who manage their primary crypto holdings in a single app and have never had a reason to leave it. Paribu’s integration lets them reach perpetuals and option markets without giving up that familiar setup: no separate wallet app, no new account, no platform switch, and the entire experience stays inside Paribu.

“Paribu is becoming a single app for all of finance: crypto, DeFi, equities, and yield. Integrating Hyperliquid and Polymarket is another step toward that vision. Instead of asking users to navigate multiple wallets and protocols, we’re bringing a seamless in-app self-custodial DeFi experience to millions of people, making onchain perpetuals and prediction markets as accessible as the rest of their financial lives. Soon, we’ll expand that vision even further by bringing access to both U.S. equities and Borsa Istanbul-listed stocks into the Paribu app, creating a single destination for investing across traditional and onchain markets.” — Yasin Oral, Founder and CEO, Paribu

Perpetuals, now on a CEX experience

Perpetual contracts are now accessible through the DeFi section of the Paribu app. Trades route directly to Hyperliquid’s decentralized blockchain. Every position exists onchain, in the user’s self-custodial wallet, at all times. 

Hyperliquid has become the dominant infrastructure layer for onchain perpetuals. The protocol has processed over $4 trillion in cumulative trading volume, leads the decentralized exchange market by open interest, and has attracted a fast-growing builder ecosystem — including integrations with major self-custody wallets. Its builder code program has distributed over $85 million in revenue to frontend developers. For Paribu, integrating Hyperliquid means connecting its users to the deepest onchain liquidity available in the perpetuals market today.

Prediction markets, accessible in Türkiye for the first time

Curated prediction markets are accessible through the same DeFi section. Paribu serves as the interface layer; execution and settlement occur onchain via Polymarket’s infrastructure. Markets are curated: each contract is reviewed for integrity, liquidity depth, and risk profile before it appears in the app.

Polymarket is the world’s largest decentralized option market. This is the first time option markets are accessible to Türkiye’s retail base through a mainstream exchange interface, and the first time a centralized exchange has delivered Polymarket through a fully self-custodial setup.

Stocks are coming

Paribu holds CMB establishment authorization for its brokerage arm, which is awaiting its operating license. NYSE, Nasdaq, and Borsa Istanbul stocks will be tradeable on Paribu. Real-time market data for all three is live today, free for all users. A waitlist is open ahead of trading going live.

About Paribu

Paribu is Türkiye’s leading digital asset platform and a key player in the country’s fintech ecosystem. Founded in 2017, the company pursues a growth strategy focused on regulatory compliance, product innovation, and expansion into multiple geographies. In 2026, Paribu expanded from a crypto exchange into a multi-asset investment app, bringing together crypto trading, DeFi access, yield products, and equities on a single platform. Paribu supports 220+ crypto assets and serves millions of users. Its matching engine, Hyper Engine, processes 7.6 million orders per second. The company’s institutional custody infrastructure is built on ColdShield, its proprietary multi-layer digital asset custody technology. In 2025, Paribu acquired a majority stake in CoinMENA, a licensed exchange operating in Dubai and Bahrain serving 1.5M users across MENA. In 2026, self-custodial finance app Clave joined Paribu, bringing passkey-based account abstraction and on-chain capabilities to the stack.
