Uniswap Labs launched Pools.trade on August 5, 2026, a new memecoin creation platform on Robinhood Chain, as the decentralized exchange developer expands into token launchpad services amid over 340,000 token launches on Uniswap v4.
Tokenized real-world assets on Robinhood Chain rose roughly fivefold to about $70 million in less than two weeks, with tokenized GameStop leading tokenized-stock daily volume at $26.6 million. According to CryptoRank data cited by BeInCrypto, applications on the network generated $25 million in fees in the week ending July 24, ranking third behind Ethereum and Solana. FalconX research cited by TechTimes estimated that memecoin speculation accounted for more than 80% of the chain's cumulative decentralized exchange volume, which had surpassed $9 billion since launch.
Robinhood's Ethereum Layer-2 blockchain, launched July 1, 2026, has generated over $2 million in cumulative revenue and surpassed Coinbase's Base in daily active users, though on-chain data shows more than 80% of its $9 billion trading volume comes from memecoin speculation rather than its intended focus on tokenized stocks.
Hackers compromised Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev's verified X account on July 23, 2026, using it to promote a fake memecoin called Vladhood ($VLAD) that was flagged as a potential scam. The fraudulent post falsely claimed the token was Robinhood Chain's official mascot and would be listed in the Robinhood app. On-chain monitor MLM estimated that the attacker generated around 650 ETH in proceeds, worth approximately $1.2 million to $1.3 million.
