I've seen a lot of "What happened to Robinhood Chain?" posts recently showing a stale chart with declining volumes.
People are trying to declare it "dead" again.
Guess what?
The same exact thing happened late July / early August when volumes had plummeted from the peak!
Hood was dead. It was a "fun little experiment".
Until it wasn't.
It slowly started to climb back from the lows...
And then - it exploded.
Everyone who called for its death at the lows became its most vocal supporters at the highs.
That's the natural psychology of a volatile market in the early stages of growth.
So, here we are, once again two months later... and people are saying the same thing.
They'll look even dumber this time than they did last time though.
Because it's more obvious than ever that Robinhood Chain will be a pivotal part of this cycle.
So pay attention to who's bearish here, because it'll show you who actually thinks critically, and who just makes posts purely for engagement.
Hello world!
You were waiting for the return of the Assistance Fund 2?
We're bringing it back for you, soon.
Hold $AF2, receive HyperEVM token dividends.
Make the HyperEVM Great Again.
Hyperliquid
We're building @TrumpAccounts to become the default vehicle for philanthropic giving in the US.
Right now, if you are interested in giving, you have to navigate complex rules and regulations, not to mention evaluate individual charities and validate whether the money is actually going where advertised, and how efficiently.
@TrumpAccounts let donors put capital directly into investment accounts owned by American children, with fewer layers between the gift and the child.
You know where the money goes. The child owns the assets. There are no fees. And the portfolio compounds at market rates for years.
That's a powerful model for giving and has the potential to positively transform philanthropy in America.
If I didn't have a significant port I'd probably be focusing my entire attention on Robinhood chain. Being able to take profit directly into actual stocks is pretty nice. Feels like good chance Robinhood starts clawing marketshare from Solana.
i’ve been quiet for a few days.
i acquired a controlling stake in a NASDAQ-listed company. $4.8M market cap, trading at $0.12/share with a crazy 92.3% short interest. $6.2M in debt against $380K ARR, everyone thinks its dead
it cost me $1,800,000 for 37.4% of the total shares. bought OTC over 3 weeks through two brokers so the I didn’t spike the price
i’m tokenizing the equity on Robinhood chain - then i’m pairing a memecoin with the tokenized stock
this isn’t apple or nvidia, nor even GME (which is $8B, impossible to make an effect)
this is a $4.8M penny stock with 92.3% short interest
if onchain volume creates even $500K in buy pressure on the underlying stock, that’s a massive move on a $4.8M company. $2M in buy pressure is a even more. and with 92.3% short interest, any pump triggers a squeeze
the memecoin community doesn’t need to buy the stock directly, they buy the memecoin, which is paired with the tokenized stock
volume on the memecoin flows into the tokenized stock. the tokenized stock is backed 1:1 by the real equity. demand onchain = demand on NASDAQ
this will be the biggest crossover story in financial history, memecoins x nasdaq
more details soon,
this is either the most insane thing anyone’s ever done in crypto
or the most insane thing anyone’s ever done in tradfi

The past 48 hours have been pretty nuts on Robinhood (RH) Chain...
203k wallets now hold tokenized equities (+46% in 3 days)... an inflection point in distributing equities to new holders
"Float squeezes" fast becoming a w/e fiasco as penny stocks become prime targets for onchain trenchers
Latest RH Chain developments:
1/ BONER/HIMS: Stock meme. BONER (Fartcoin of RWAs?) absorbed roughly 81% of available HIMS tokens, which traded 37% above its underlying share price - see my longer post on this below & why this will become increasingly important
2/ CINEMA: Stock meme. An isolated AMC pool traded at multiples of spot as CINEMA token pumped
3/ @ArtificiallyInu: Stock meme. 23% of RH’s NVDA supply now backs AI; degens gunning for that "Board Sit"... as more projects launch memes to pair with other (smaller) tokenized equities this drives value back to the AI (Long) eco so worth paying attention
4/ @ponsdotfamily: Launchpad. Insane run as Market cap now > $400m as leading protocol on RH. 63% share; cbBTC pairs, $5.3M fees, $1M revenue + now perps available to help large holders hedge their downside, but also onchain squeeze hunting commences?
5/ @fablesfi: RWA DEX. TVL doubled to $2.24M; fees reached $16K. PROLOGUE token is a prequel to the Fable token afaik. Check @MCGlive show this weds for large catalyst - could become the Aerodrome of RH
6/ @longdotxyz: RWA DEX. Passed $210M volume, including $90M through NVDA; now has $5M in TVL across all its RWA pools h/t @Natan_benish
7/ @prismassets: RWA marketplace. Prism Assets will add tokenized antiques (nice) soon to bolster its 2k+ RWAs tro trade including uranium + other exotic assets
8/ @arcus_xyz: Exchange. Beta crossed $2B volume; 1,674 active perps traders as the contrinutors from DyDX create this RH focused primitive
9/ @Lighter_xyz: Perpetuals. Chainlink partnership bolsters RH distribution for perps; RH volume rebounded 44% as L()ong teased integration + excited to see broader offerings on private company stocks (OpenAI just the beginnig)
10/ @virtuals_io Agent platform. $270M RH volume; co-authored policy-wallet standard ERC-8196; essentially could see a lot more agentic activity on RH chain as agents plug into new protocols...
Still believe this is a HUGE opportunity for agentic first protocols to start deploying solutions on RH. Seeing copy trading bots emerge but there's so much more to offer!
11/ @scalarliquidity: Liquidity. SCL launched via v4[dot]fun; holders receive 0.4% trading fees. LP protocols are gonna become increasingly important give the w/e activity!
12/ @NetNetCap: Treasury. Crossed $5M; $2M now sits in tokenized equities. new market on Longbow lend also for wsNET/USDG to facilitate broader credit markets
13/ @Uniswap: DEX. $5.5M daily fees; TVL reached $134M as V4 hooks become a fundamental innovation driving a lot of acrtivity on RH around tokenized stocks
14/ @gmgnai: Trading terminal. RH fees rose 38% to $1.3M daily. Trading apps (particularly Fomo / Pump) are driving a lot more interest in onchain. The uPNL for FOMO could possibly become the preferred avenue for plumbers as it incentivized longer hold times
15/ @giga_dex: DEX. Genesis scheduled today; daily volume reached $24M; another liquidity alternative to look into
16/ @MosaicETF: RWA baskets. Expanding from RH to Base, BNB and Solana - multi chain with more assets available could be a reasonable play long term
17/ @Tangem: Wallet. Added RH support, ATM cash-out and zero-fee Pay Plus. Large additional distribution to broader users
18/ @uponrh: Liquidity DEX. $112K fees, $74K revenue; TVL reached $8.5M; already plugged into the Clutch/Stonbroker eco
19/ @thicket_rh: GPU network. 1,183 active nodes within its first 36 hours; certainly something a bit different leading the DePin charge on RH
20/ @GwoodFinance: Neobank. Beta walkthrough scheduled today with its live product on @MCGlive ; fast becoming a great source of insights
21/ @ClutchMarkets: aka Stonkbrokers. Trading stack. Reveals STORMM + leverage machine = permissionless options-underwriting layer where tokenized-stock holders sell volatility to degens
22/ @longbowlend: Credit. Crossed $60K TVL and $11.6K active loans with whales positioning for what could be a leading credit layer opportunity - recent addition is wsNET/USDG
23/ @deltaliquidity: LP manager. Partial withdrawals, deposits, charts and PnL fixes shipped. More competition emerging here but it's clear from the "Float squeezes" that LP protocols are going to be key
24/ @letscashfun Launchpad. Emerging alt launchpad with custom supplies now range from 1B to one quadrillion
25/ @RamsesExchange: DEX. Fees jumped 55% to $74K; TVL reached $2M. Popped on my radar today, currently multichain afaik but new token worth monitoring
26/ @RadioSharing: social deployment layer. BANKR of RH goes live
27/ @Pons_Factory: Launchpad on Pons. Provides automatically pairing with leading Pons token. Could be interesting value accrual to PONS. Just released "Paste a tweet, launch a token"
28/ SPACETIME. Meme on Pons. The original name of Robinhood caught the attention of the timeline.
Alpha: @umia_finance is coming to market with what I expect to have a number of high value projects coming through their pipeline (including RH chain)
OPPORTUNITY: LIQUIDITY DEPTH
The warning is that user growth is currently outrunning available onchain float... so flip that into an opportunity; protocols providing productive Stock Token liquidity
Float squeezes creates volume and fees, but also creates broken pegs, fragmented prices + weekend markets that can detach violently from their underlying shares
Which material protocol or Stock Token experiment am I missing? I'll append below or include tomorrow
Let me know below in the comments if you want a spreadsheet of all the tokenized equity/ meme pairs - i'll include in my newsletter tomorrow if so
