Blockchain Networks Specialize in High-Liquidity Tasks Amidst Shift Towards Niche Activities
As of 2026, blockchain networks have become increasingly specialized in one high-liquidity task.
This shift towards specialization has led to a decrease in artificial incentives and potentially a growing real user base.
Multiple networks have adopted high-value use cases and excelled in specific activities.
Robinhood leads all chains, with more than 50% of its activity tied to issuing and trading meme tokens.
Solana and BNB Chain are better suited for meme tokens and DeFi rather than ongoing meme launches.
Ethereum has emerged as infrastructure to consolidate all other chains and tokens due to its compatibility and largest available liquidity.
Robinhood chose to become an Ethereum L2 chain, using a well-established technology to support its activity.
