Robinhood Chain launched a platform called Tropic that lets users convert investment beliefs into portfolios backed by real capital, enabling them to compete against others' portfolios. The ecosystem is expanding with NFT projects like Slippy Club building on the chain, while traders discuss the stealth nature of the token launch and its potential to compete with traditional finance firms in 24/7 stock trading.
Robinhood Chain launched with multiple projects going live, including Zebec's Carbon Card integration, Hooja community building, Tropic's belief-based portfolio platform, Slippy Club NFT brand, and Poolz's token launch with a $100,000 private sale targeting 25% of total supply at $0.0072 per token.
Tropic, a Norwich-based biotech company, has developed gene-edited bananas using Crispr-Cas9 that resist browning for an extra day or two after peeling, potentially reducing food waste by over 25% in the banana supply chain. The UK's Defra approved a marketing notice for the bananas, confirming their precision-bred status, though they still require FSA safety review before reaching British supermarkets.
