Arcus Broadens Perps Collateral Access With a $20,000 Deposit Cap

Unchained reports that Robinhood Chain removed a $25 million volume threshold while limiting non-USDG deposits for perpetual-futures traders.

Unchained reports that Robinhood Chain removed a $25 million volume threshold while limiting non-USDG deposits for perpetual-futures traders. Global Dollar (USDG) is trading at ₹94.62 ($1.00). This is an original Token Times brief based on reporting by Unchained, with live market data added, as of Thu, 05 Nov 2026 23:00:01 UTC.

Why it matters

Broader collateral access may bring more traders into the market, but the deposit ceiling keeps early exposure constrained and concentrates risk around USDG.

Key takeaways
  • Robinhood Chain removed its $25 million early-access volume threshold.
  • Non-USDG deposits remain limited to $20,000 per trader and $2 million overall.
  • Robinhood Chain TVL stands at $582.61 million, down 2.8% over seven days.
  • USDG holds a $2.75 billion circulating supply and trades near $1.

Arcus has opened stock-token collateral to all perpetual-futures traders, according to the supplied coverage, while Unchained reports a separate change to Robinhood Chain access terms. The exchange removed the $25 million volume requirement introduced for its October early-access phase, making the service available without that stated threshold.

The relaxation is not unrestricted for every supported asset. Unchained reports that non-USDG deposits remain capped at $20,000 for each trader and $2 million across the platform. Arcus therefore combines broader collateral participation with a framework that limits the scale of exposure outside the USDG market.

DeFiLlama data puts Robinhood Chain’s total value locked at $582.61 million, down 2.8% over seven days. USDG’s verified circulating supply is $2.75 billion, while its live market capitalization is $2.81 billion; the token is priced at $1 and has moved 0.02% over 24 hours and 0.03% over seven days.

The wider crypto market is broadly lower, with total capitalization at $2.61 trillion and Bitcoin down 5.55% over 24 hours. The Fear & Greed index stands at 50, classified as neutral. The immediate points to monitor are trader participation after the volume requirement was removed and whether the non-USDG deposit caps remain unchanged.

The chart plots USDG's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from Token Times's market data (daily resolution).

What this means in rupee

At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 USDG ≈ ₹101.1 (about $1.00), down 0.0% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 6.8% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
