Total value locked has roughly tripled since mid-July to about $312 million, according to DefiLlama, and Robinhood Chain is now clearing more than $600 million in daily decentralized-exchange volume, putting it among the more active networks in crypto.
Its transaction count has also drawn attention, with more than 138 million in 30 days, per Token Terminal. But the chain’s most-traded tokens are still overwhelmingly memecoins.
On DEX Screener, the top of Robinhood Chain’s trending list is filled with tokens like “Hoodrat,” “Vladhood” and “Swole Doge,” not the tokenized equities the network was built for, which trade on Uniswap but rank well down the volume rankings.
The tokenized stocks generate roughly $55 million in daily volume, under a tenth of the chain’s nearly $600 million in total DEX trading, the data shows. The rest is dominated by memecoins.
Stablecoins remain the single largest presence on the chain, with a combined market value in the hundreds of millions of dollars, and memecoins, such as the Robinhood mascot-themed CASHCAT, that defined the chain’s first weeks, are still active and heavily traded.
The critique three weeks ago was that Robinhood had built expensive infrastructure and attracted only speculation, with little sign that the tokenized-stock business it pitched would materialize.
