Robinhood Chain Takes Off with Meme Coins and Tokenized Stocks

Robinhood Chain is an Ethereum layer-2 blockchain built on Arbitrum technology that launched its mainnet on July 1, 2026. It handles tokenized real-world assets and DeFi applications.

Meme coins have driven most of the network's activity since launch, with over 17 million transactions in its first week. The network has also seen significant growth in tokenized stocks, with active RWA market capitalization reaching $219.49 million by September 4.

Robinhood Chain uses ETH as its native gas token and works with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), allowing developers to build with existing Ethereum programming languages and tools. The network has a sequencer that orders transactions on a first-come, first-served basis, reducing fees and increasing transaction capacity compared to a layer-1.
