Plasma One Now Accepts USDC From Robinhood Chain

Plasma One has added Robinhood Chain to the networks it accepts USDC deposits from. It joins Ethereum, Solana, Base, Optimism, Polygon and Arbitrum on the list. That is the whole change, and it is worth being precise about, because a funding network is easy to mistake for a deeper integration.

One bridge step disappears

Robinhood Chain launched its mainnet on 1 July 2026 as an Arbitrum-based Ethereum layer 2, built around tokenised stocks and DeFi products. If you hold USDC there — because you have been trading stock tokens, using its lending products, or simply keep a balance in the Robinhood Wallet — you can now move it into Plasma One directly.

The saving is a bridge. Previously that USDC had to reach one of the supported networks before it could fund the card, and bridging costs both a fee and a step where things go wrong. Removing it is a genuine convenience for a specific group of people.

Everything else about the card stays the same

The card still runs on Plasma. Robinhood Chain is a deposit route, not a settlement network, and nothing about how the card spends, what it charges or where it works is different because of this.

The addition is USDC-specific. USDT deposits continue to come through their own list of networks, which does not include Robinhood Chain at the time of writing.

Cashback, tiers and the Earn vault are unaffected. If you were evaluating the card on rewards, this news changes nothing about that calculation.

Two groups have a reason to care

Two groups. People already active on Robinhood Chain, for whom a bridge just disappeared. And people weighing where to keep a stablecoin balance, for whom one more supported network is a small argument in Plasma One's favour.

For everyone else it is housekeeping. Current tracked values, including supported assets and networks, are on the Plasma One Card page.
