Robinhood Chain Surges to $500M Volume on Uniswap Debut

The Robinhood Chain has made an impressive debut in the cryptocurrency market, achieving $500 million in 24-hour trading volume on Uniswap. This milestone is notable, as it trails only Ethereum mainnet itself.

The chain went live around July 1-2 and was built on the Arbitrum technology stack with 100-millisecond block times. Uniswap deployed aggressively from day one, rolling out v2, v3, v4, and UniswapX across the new chain.

Within its first week, Uniswap processed over $250 million in volume on Robinhood Chain alone. The 24-hour volume figure surged to $500 million on July 8, with wrapped Ethereum (WETH) and memecoins driving a significant portion of the activity.

The total value locked on the chain also crossed $100 million within that first week, with nearly $90 million flowing into Morpho's lending protocol. This suggests users weren't just swapping tokens but actively borrowing and lending.
