Robinhood Chain has shaken up the space, overtaking Solana’s PumpSwap in memecoin trading volume just a month after launching. Its weekly trading on Robinhood Launchpad hit $1.23 billion, narrowly beating PumpSwap’s $1.22 billion. This sudden surge was fueled by breakout memecoin projects like Cash Cat, sparking a wave of frenzy on the Ethereum Layer 2 network.
But Robinhood Chain’s momentum isn’t limited to memecoin hype. It’s also making waves in real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, particularly with tokenized stock assets. According to Token Terminal data, Robinhood Chain now has about 330,000 tokenized stock asset holders, surpassing Solana’s 281,000 and BNB Chain’s 214,000. Despite the impressive user count, the total value held on Robinhood Chain remains modest, accounting for only 1% of the $2 billion-plus market in tokenized stocks.
Balancing user growth and value
This discrepancy highlights a challenge for Robinhood Chain: widespread adoption but limited asset value locked in so far. The real test will be whether Robinhood’s massive user base can translate into larger holdings and deeper liquidity. Meanwhile, the memecoin craze has cooled off, with decentralized exchange volume on the chain dropping from a monthly peak of $900 million to about $500 million. Still, the chain has generated an estimated $3 million since its debut.
Speculation continues on whether this on-chain traction and RWA focus will boost Robinhood’s own stock, HOOD. Wall Street remains optimistic ahead of the Q2 earnings call, with analysts from Bernstein and Goldman Sachs projecting HOOD to climb to $122, up 31% from its current $92.7 price. The coming months will reveal if Robinhood Chain can maintain its newfound lead over Solana and convert its early gains into lasting strength.
