Robinhood plans to bring over 10 million active users into DeFi, but on-chain activity is still dominated by meme coins

Abstract generation in progress
Robinhood plans to bring retail investors into DeFi by leveraging its more than 10 million active users. Robinhood Chain, an Ethereum Layer 2 built on Arbitrum, saw its 24-hour DEX trading volume reach about $878 million on July 12, but early activity was still mainly driven by trading meme coins. Its perpetual contract trading volume was only about $5.9 million, with cross-chain incoming assets of about $734 million, while the actual TVL was around $211 million. Robinhood Chain originally focused on rolling out tokenized RWA such as stocks and ETFs, but the currently active market value of those related assets is only about $12.66 million; the key going forward will be whether speculative activity can be converted into ongoing trading demand for tokenized stocks and on-chain lending needs.

Perpetual futures are only 5.9 million, and retail investors still play spot more—RWA tokenization has a long way to go.

Robinhood bringing tens of millions of users into DeFi is a good thing, but if all the activity on-chain is Meme coins, it goes against the goal of tokenizing stocks. We’ll need to see how things are guided afterward.

The data looks good, but the meme market can’t hold out for long.
