​More than $70 million worth of Ether was bridged to Robinhood Chain during its first week of operation. According to analysts, the strong inflow of liquidity reflects growing interest in the new blockchain and could become an additional source of demand for Ethereum.

The Arbitrum-based, EVM-compatible layer-2 network launched on July 1, 2026. Robinhood positions it as infrastructure for real-world asset (RWA) tokenization and AI applications, with Ether serving as the network's native gas token.

According to Token Terminal, if the current pace of adoption continues, Robinhood Chain could become a meaningful new source of demand for Ethereum.

Data from DefiLlama shows that about 46,748 ETH, worth roughly $83 million, was locked in the network at the time of publication. Nearly 31,855 ETH, or almost $55 million, was bridged during the past 24 hours alone.

User activity continues to grow

According to Token Terminal, Robinhood Chain reached 194,000 daily active users. The network's daily revenue increased to $39,000, equivalent to roughly $14 million on an annualized basis.

Uniswap founder Hayden Adams noted that most activity on the network is denominated in Ether. He said the asset serves as the primary trading currency, the gas token, and the payment asset for data availability on Ethereum.

Analysts expect stronger demand for Ethereum

Bitrue Research described the launch of Robinhood Chain as a positive development for Ethereum. According to the firm's analysts, using Ether as the network's native gas token creates sustainable demand for the asset while bringing new users into the ecosystem.

Tim Sun, Senior Researcher at HashKey Group, also called the launch structurally positive for Ethereum. He said Robinhood's decision to build its financial ecosystem on Ethereum reinforces the blockchain's role as the leading settlement layer and infrastructure for tokenized real-world assets.

The launch comes as trading volume in tokenized stocks has surged 105% over the past month to $8.4 billion. According to RWA.xyz, the value of tokenized equities in circulation has climbed to $2.16 billion, while the number of holders has surpassed 409,000.

Analysts attribute the growth to rapid expansion of tokenization infrastructure by both crypto companies and traditional financial institutions.

Earlier, Robinhood expanded its offering of perpetual futures for European users and announced plans to launch cryptocurrency services in the United Kingdom.
