In 60 days, Robinhood Chain has gone from launch to $791 million in TVL, flipped Base in daily active users, and is now generating more daily revenue than Solana.

Summary Robinhood Chain launched July 1, 2026 as an Arbitrum Orbit L2 and reached $791M in TVL within 60 days, up from $4M at genesis. Daily revenue hit $4.01M on Sept. 2, dwarfing Solana’s $78K on the same day, while cumulative DEX volume crossed $47B.

Tokenized stocks on the chain recorded $4.3B in 30-day volume with an $85M daily peak on Aug. 25, creating a product no other L2 offers at that scale.
