Robinhood Chain tops the public chain rankings! ARB surges 48.8%, SUSHI jumps over 40% — 86 million retail users are rewriting the DeFi landscape
Within one day, ARB surged 48.8%, with the current price at $0.193. SUSHI rose more than 40%, breaking above $0.267.
What ignited it was Robinhood Chain.
This chain has only been live for two months, and its DeFi TVL is just $720 million, but in the past 24 hours its DEX trading volume reached $1.89 billion — surpassing Solana and BNB Chain, and for the first time taking the top spot among public chains. A $720 million pool processed $1.89 billion in资金 in a single day.
In the past, ARB rose on sentiment, narratives, and airdrop expectations. This time, it was a real revenue-sharing story. Robinhood Chain is built on Arbitrum’s technology, using Arbitrum Orbit and burning ETH for gas. Under the Arbitrum expansion plan’s licensing agreement, Robinhood Chain must return 10% of the protocol’s net revenue to the Arbitrum ecosystem — 8% to the DAO treasury and 2% to the developer guild.
Arbitrum DAO’s total revenue in the first half of this year was only $6.19 million. If Robinhood Chain can keep that $1.89 billion daily trading volume going, what scale of revenue share are we talking about?
SushiSwap is one of Robinhood Chain’s launch partners, and its Launch V2 allows SUSHI to serve as the quoted asset for issuance. In plain terms: tokenized stocks and meme coins are priced in the same pool, with SUSHI used for pricing. That turns SUSHI from an old-school DEX governance token into the pricing anchor of the Robinhood Chain ecosystem.
How Robinhood is playing this game.
It has 86 million retail users, the vast majority of whom trade stocks, not DeFi. Its approach is simple and blunt: when users buy stocks, the broker buys and custodies the shares in the traditional market, and the system mints and sends them 1:1 tokens. First, let users trade in a familiar interface and build habits; then gradually open up self-custody withdrawals. Only in the third step do assets move from Robinhood accounts to on-chain wallets, into DEXs, and into lending protocols.
Finally, let’s talk about BNB. The real engine behind this rebound is actually BNB. BTC and ETH saw only modest gains, but BNB broke above $780 in a single day, pulling BMT, CAKE, and other BNB Chain ecosystem tokens along with it. Capital is moving, but the direction has changed — from mainstream consensus assets toward exchange ecosystems and legacy DeFi tokens.
