Robinhood Chain Earns $350K in Fees in 24 Hours

The EVM chain, initially designed for RWA tokenization, has quickly become one of the most active chains

Users of the newly-launched Robinhood Chain paid $350,000 in network fees over the last 24 hours, according to DeFiLlama. Users paid more network fees than every chain except Canton, Tron and Solana. 

The chain was launched on July 1st and has seen its DeFi TVL climb rapidly to $315 million. The chain was launched by financial services company Robinhood to facilitate on-chain trading of tokenized RWAs, like equities and ETFs. 

However, despite its focus on RWAs, the chain has become a popular avenue for meme coin traders. Uniswap is the most popular application operating on Robinhood Chain by a substantial margin, generating $3.3 million in app fees in the last 24 hours.

(App fees are charges levied by individual applications or software platforms for their services, whereas network fees are payments made to a blockchain network to validate and record transactions.)

In addition to its successful launch from a TVL and fees perspective, Robinhood Chain is now also a supported network on Arkham. Users can use Arkham as a Robinhood Chain block explorer, as well as being able to use all of Arkham’s intelligence features with full Robinhood Chain integration. 

Tracking Robinhood Chain on Arkham

With this integration, researchers, traders, and everyday crypto enthusiasts can now use the Arkham platform to track transfers in real-time, verifying specific payments and auditing smart contract executions natively on the network by simply pasting a Robinhood Chain TXID into the universal search bar.

This level of transparency is particularly useful given the chain's exploding meme coin volume. For example, recent Arkham data revealed a Robinhood Chain trader (address 0x4A5) who managed to turn a $316 allocation into a $2.17 million position by trading CASHCAT - currently the leading meme coin on the network.

Beyond individual transactions and profit tracking, users can explore specific wallets and entities operating on Robinhood Chain. By searching for a specific address, you can view a complete breakdown of that wallet's historical balances, current portfolio, and top counterparties. 

Arkham’s entity clustering also applies to Robinhood Chain, meaning you can search for known entities and instantly see their aggregate holdings.

As Robinhood Chain continues to attract a unique blend of institutional RWA liquidity and retail meme coin volume, on-chain intelligence will be essential. You can start exploring the Robinhood Chain on Arkham today to find your own edge in the market.
