Paribu Custody Expands Institutional Reach with Robinhood Chain Integration

Paribu Custody has integrated Robinhood Chain into its institutional platform, marking the seventh blockchain addition in recent months. For fintech professionals, this expansion signals a significant consolidation of institutional infrastructure in the MENA and Turkish markets, as Paribu scales its technical capacity to support a rapidly diversifying cross-chain ecosystem.

What was announced

The integration of Robinhood Chain brings Paribu Custody’s total network coverage to over 80 distinct blockchains. This move is part of an aggressive technical roadmap that has seen the provider add seven new networks in a short window, reflecting the increasing demand for institutional-grade security across emerging Layer 2 and specialized chains.

Launched in late 2024, Paribu Custody is designed to provide secure storage and management for digital assets. With this latest update, the platform now supports more than 1,000 different tokens. Beyond simple storage, the service has expanded its utility by offering staking capabilities across 25 of its supported networks, allowing institutional clients to generate yield on their holdings within a regulated custody environment.

The addition of Robinhood Chain is particularly notable as it follows a period of high activity for that specific network. By incorporating this chain, Paribu Custody ensures that its institutional users—ranging from hedge funds to corporate treasuries—can interact with the Robinhood ecosystem without leaving their primary security layer. The platform’s architecture is built to handle the complexities of multi-chain management, providing a single interface for assets that would otherwise require disparate wallet solutions.

"Paribu Custody has added Robinhood Chain to its supported networks, the most recent of seven blockchain integrations announced over recent months. That takes the provider's coverage past 80 networks."

The companies involved

Paribu is a prominent fintech company based in Türkiye, operating as a central pillar of the region's digital asset infrastructure. Since its inception, the firm has focused on bridging the gap between traditional finance and the decentralized economy. In late 2024, it launched Paribu Custody to address the specific regulatory and security requirements of institutional investors who require more than retail-grade exchange wallets.

The company significantly expanded its regional footprint in December 2025 by acquiring CoinMENA. This acquisition was a strategic move to dominate the Middle Eastern market, as CoinMENA is a well-established digital asset platform with a strong presence in the Gulf. CoinMENA has previously demonstrated its institutional maturity through high-level partnerships, including banking agreements with global entities like Standard Chartered in the UAE.

Robinhood Chain, the network now supported by Paribu, has become a focal point for liquidity and cross-chain access. Its growing ecosystem has attracted various integrations from liquidity providers and gaming platforms, positioning it as a key network for retail and institutional flow alike.

What FF News has reported before

FF News has closely tracked the evolution of the Paribu and CoinMENA ecosystems, as well as the rising prominence of Robinhood Chain. In March 2026, we reported that Clave Joins Paribu to Accelerate the Adoption of Onchain Finance to Millions, highlighting Paribu's efforts to scale on-chain access. We also covered CoinMENA’s institutional progress in June 2026 when CoinMENA Fze and Standard Chartered Establish Banking Agreement in the UAE.

Regarding the network itself, FF News noted in July 2026 that 0x Selected to Power Swap Liquidity and Cross-Chain Access for Robinhood Chain, a move that preceded the network's broader adoption. Shortly after, we reported that BC.GAME Integrates CASHCAT Token Amid Surging Robinhood Chain Activity, further validating the network's growing volume.

What this means

This integration is a clear indicator that Paribu is no longer just a local Turkish player; it is positioning itself as the primary institutional gateway for the broader MENA region. By supporting 80+ networks, Paribu Custody is putting pressure on European and US-based custodians who have been slower to integrate emerging chains like Robinhood Chain. For institutional investors, the ability to access 1,000+ tokens and 25 staking networks under one roof reduces operational risk. The next thing to watch is whether Paribu leverages the CoinMENA acquisition to bring these 80+ networks into the regulated frameworks of the UAE and Bahrain, potentially creating a dominant cross-border liquidity corridor.
