- →DefiLlama showed Robinhood Chain with $1.49B in 24-hour DEX volume as of Sept. 1, behind only Solana.
- →That put it ahead of Ethereum, BSC, and Base on the live chain table, a strange result for a new chain.

- DEX volume → DEX volume is the value of trades made on decentralized exchanges, where users trade through code instead of a company order book.
- stablecoin → A stablecoin is a crypto token designed to track a regular currency, usually the U.S. dollar.
- WETH → WETH is a version of ether that works more easily inside trading apps and smart contracts.
Robinhood Chain hit $1.49B in 24-hour DEX volume on Tuesday. DefiLlama showed the figure as of 21:20 UTC on Sept. 1. Its chain detail page showed $1.576B during the same session, a reminder that live dashboards move.
The ranking is the story. Robinhood Chain sat second behind Solana's $2.501B and ahead of Ethereum's $1.302B, per DefiLlama's chain table. For a chain tied to a brokerage brand, that is not a normal debut pattern.
The flow is not broad proof yet. Pons docs describe Pons as a token launch and trading venue on Robinhood Chain. Launches trade against WETH and then deploy into Uniswap V3. If you're trading there, the question is whether this is repeat demand or launch-day churn.
The stablecoin side gives the cleaner check. DefiLlama showed $796.61M in stablecoins on Robinhood Chain as of Sept. 1. That balance grew by $57.36M over seven days, or 7.76%. USDG made up 58.87% of the chain's stablecoin market cap.
That makes the next read simple. Volume can spike when new tokens open. Stablecoin balances are harder to fake over several days. Robinhood Chain now has a headline number. It still needs proof that users stay after the first trade.
Robinhood letting Pons drive the early Robinhood Chain story through WETH launches is a narrow base given the $1.49B volume print.
By Sept. 8, watch whether Robinhood Chain keeps daily DEX volume above Ethereum for two more DefiLlama daily snapshots.
