Robinhood Chain generated about $3.6 million in transaction fees in its first month after the July 1, 2026 launch, making the Arbitrum-based network Ethereum's top revenue-producing Layer 2 by some estimates, while cumulative DEX volume approached $9 billion, total value locked reached about $431 million and daily active users topped 250,000 in its early weeks. Bitmine chairman and Fundstrat co-founder Tom Lee said the network could become one of crypto's biggest success stories in 2026 because Robinhood's 27.4 million funded customers give it a mainstream distribution channel for tokenized stocks and decentralized finance. Early activity has been dominated by memecoins and supported by a 90-day gas-fee waiver, while tokenized stocks and perpetual futures remain unavailable in the United States and some other markets, leaving open whether demand will hold once incentives end and compliant access broadens.
