Gate Research: Robinhood Chain’s Meme Surge Is Driving Early Activity While Its RWA Network Is Still Taking Shape

Gate Research says Robinhood Chain is emerging as one of the most closely watched examples of a traditional finance firm building its own public blockchain, but the network’s early traction has come from Meme tokens rather than tokenized securities. In the report, Robinhood Chain is described as an Arbitrum-based, EVM-compatible Layer 2 built for tokenized stocks, ETFs, private assets, stablecoins and other real-world assets, with a long-term goal of linking issuance, wallets, trading, liquidity and applications in one system. The study argues that the chain’s first wave of growth has instead been led by Meme tokens, Launchpads and active DEX trading. As of July 23, the report says Robinhood Chain had 101 RWA assets on-chain with a combined value of about $21.84 million, while more than 40,000 new tokens were being created in a single day during the same period. That gap, according to Gate Research, reflects the much lower supply threshold for Meme assets compared with regulated financial products. The report also highlights Gate DEX’s full integration with Robinhood Chain. Gate Alpha, Gate Wallet and Gate DEX Swap now support ecosystem asset discovery, wallet interaction, on-chain trading and cross-chain swaps, expanding the network’s distribution channels and external capital access. Gate Research’s core view is that Robinhood Chain currently operates in a two-layer structure: RWA as the long-term asset destination, and Meme as the short-term liquidity engine.
