Arcus

• Your place is decided by your prior on-chain track record
• Volume on dYdX v3 and v4, Hyperliquid and Lighter counts
• Volume in real-world assets counts especially
• You can connect several wallets: the history adds up
• The date is published, literally, in two different places of theirs. And spot is already open: «Spot Beta is open now to all eligible users, no waitlist needed».
• Arcus Points are live: Season 0 is closed and ranked, and Season 1 gives points every Wednesday, in a fixed amount that does not grow with platform volume. There is no token: «Arcus does not currently have a token».
• What DOES pay today is referrals, three levels on net fees: 10% the first — 15% at the top fee tiers —, 3% the second and 2% the third. And to move up the perps waitlist your perps history elsewhere counts; you can connect several wallets to aggregate it.
• What adds extra, per their points blog: trading real-world assets (RWA) and, on RWA perpetuals, doing it outside US market hours —8PM to 4AM New York time, weekends and holidays—. And whoever joins with a code pays 5% less in fees.

Two published multipliers, with no figure: trading real-world assets (tokenised stocks and other RWAs) earns more points, and so does trading RWA perpetuals outside US market hours —8PM to 4AM New York time, weekends and holidays—. From Robinhood Wallet, eligible trades may earn boosted points.

• 30 Oct · the entry still said «under watch» and the card counted as reader money what the referrer earns → Arcus gives more points for trading real-world assets and, on RWA perpetuals, outside US hours: 8PM to 4AM New York time, weekends and holidays. Whoever joins with a code pays 5% less in fees.
• 21 Oct · perps with zero maker and half-price taker during the beta → Arcus raises crypto perps fees: from Friday 23 they go back to standard (until then maker is free and taker pays half). In exchange, tier thresholds are halved. RWA and spot stay the same.
• 19 Oct · we did not say what a liquidation costs → Arcus raises the liquidation fee to up to 1% to strengthen its insurance fund, and admits it did not warn beforehand.
• 15 Oct · the referred user’s discount depended on the referrer, up to half the fee → Arcus now publishes what the referred user gets: joining with a code, 5% less on maker and taker fees.
• 14 Oct · we quoted «Spot Beta is open now to all eligible users, no waitlist needed.» → Arcus no longer says on its blog that spot is open to everyone with no waitlist: we withdraw it. And it publishes that its points programme ends by the end of H1 2027 at the latest.
• 11 Oct · perps by cohort, without saying which one → On 10 Oct more than 29,000 waitlisted traders got in; an invite code no longer works for anyone who already has perps access.
• 5 Oct · We said 3PM EST (20:00 UTC) and that they did not publish how many points each week gives → We correct: points land on Wednesdays at 3PM ET, New York time, and it is a fixed 250,000 a week.
• 2 Oct · we did not say when or how many points Arcus gives each week → Arcus credits points every Wednesday at 3PM EST (20:00 UTC), and each week's amount is fixed: it does not grow with volume, so each share shrinks as more people trade. Trading Stock Tokens from Robinhood Wallet may earn boosted points. We removed the lines saying there was no points programme.
• 1 Oct · we only said Arcus tracks waitlist activity → Arcus switches on its points: Season 0 is ranked (your wallet shows your place) and Season 1 starts today.
• 29 Sep · the card said real-world-asset volume counts especially, without its quote → Quoted from their help centre: trading tokenised real-world assets counts extra for your place in the queue.
• 29 Sep · Points: not announced yet → Points: your activity counts
• 28 Sep · the entry did not say which activity moves your queue position → Their help centre says early-access activity is tracked and that spot trading Stock Tokens counts toward your position since launch; several wallets add up history.
• 22 Sep · the entry did not say what fee Arcus charges → On perps, makers pay no fee for the rest of the beta and takers pay half, with no application.
• 23 Aug · we said «access by cohort, no published date» → Correction: the date is published — 1 July 2026 — and spot has been open to everyone since before. And there are 10-15% referrals we were not counting.
• 14 Aug · we had it down as points farming → corrected: it has no points program and no token

«Arcus isn't available in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, or other restricted jurisdictions»: the full list lives only in their Terms of Use, not in the help centre.

Points already count: a fixed 250,000 every week

Robinhood Crypto has invested and they announce it themselves, but with no amount or round type

There is backing, a live product and points every week. The weekly amount is fixed and does not grow with volume: the more people trade, the smaller each share. It is 250,000 points a week.
