Only two weeks after its birth, the transaction volume of this chain has surpassed Ethereum

Robinhood Chain has only been launched for two weeks, and its daily trading volume has surpassed Ethereum.

Robinhood Chain (@RobinhoodCrypto) has been launched for less than two weeks, and its daily decentralized exchange (DEX) transaction volume has exceeded Ethereum. According to @DefiLlama, the chain's DEX transaction volume reached US$808 million in 24 hours, ranking third among all blockchains, behind Solana and BNB Chain.

Record debut of a new chain

Since its launch on the main network on July 1, Robinhood Chain has generated US$3.1 billion in decentralized exchange transactions in the first week, making it the top five blockchain in DEX activity. On some days, it ranks third among all chains in 24-hour DEX transaction volume, behind Solana and BNB Chain.

The network did all this on a relatively weak basis: at the time its total locked position value was only US$145 million, and the number of agreements was about 36.

Robinhood launched Robinhood Chain's public mainnet on July 1, an Ethereum Layer-2 blockchain built based on Arbitrum, designed for tokenized real-world assets and decentralized finance. Partners on the first day of launch include Uniswap, which deploys a dedicated automated market maker as the main public liquidity protocol, as well as deep integration of Alchemy, BitGo and Chainlink, and provide fast check-out times and ready-to-use lending capabilities.

Born for stocks, but filled with Meme coins

Although the network is positioned as an Ethereum Layer-2 focusing on tokenized stocks and real-world assets, early on-chain activity has been overwhelmingly concentrated on a few newly issued Meme coins. A large proportion of that activity came from an unexpected source: Meme coins called Cash Cat, which alone drove approximately $98 million in 24-hour transaction volume on July 8.

The total market value of Meme coins on Robinhood Chain is approximately US$254 million and generated more than US$658 million in transaction volume in 24 hours. According to @DefiLlama, real-world assets account for approximately 4% of the chain's activity. [TAG Bernstein analyst Gautam Chhugani pointed out that there are currently about 65,000 users holding $13 million worth of tokenized stocks and $300 million worth of stablecoins on the chain. While early trading was driven by Memecoin, Bernstein expects Robinhood to increasingly focus on tokenized real-world assets, including stocks and commodities, as well as perpetual futures contracts.

Hidden worries behind bright start

Despite the impressive start, questions remain about the long-term sustainability of the network. Critics have raised concerns about its centralized architecture, including reliance on a single sequencer and trading failures during peak demand periods. Others believe that continued success will depend on Robinhood's ability to shift from Meme-driven speculation to providing deeper liquidity for tokenized stocks and other real-world assets.
