Robinhood Chain Edges Out PumpSwap in Weekly Launchpad Race Robinhood Chain (@RobinhoodCrypto) launchpads posted $1.23 billion in weekly trading volume, narrowly surpassing PumpSwap's roughly
Robinhood Chain (@RobinhoodCrypto) launchpads posted $1.23 billion in weekly trading volume, narrowly surpassing PumpSwap's roughly $1.22 billion, per data from Adam Tehc. The figures, recorded in the seven days ending July 28, mark a notable milestone for a network that only launched its public mainnet on July 1, 2026.
Robinhood Chain officially launched its public mainnet on July 1, 2026. This Layer 2 network is built using the Arbitrum platform, is compatible with Ethereum, and is designed as an open environment for on-chain financial applications. PumpSwap, which operates within the well-established Pumpfun (@Pumpfun) ecosystem on Solana, posted roughly $1.22 billion over the same week.
Meme trading on Robinhood Chain added to overall crypto market activity rather than cannibalizing volume from existing platforms like Pumpfun. In other words, the emergence of Robinhood Chain appears to have expanded the total addressable market for meme coin trading rather than drawing users away from Solana-based competitors.
Despite Robinhood's pitch of a regulated venue for tokenized real-world assets, those assets account for only about $12.8 million on the chain, while memecoins and stablecoins dominate activity and market value. The launchpad ecosystem has moved quickly to fill that gap. Openfair, NOXA Fun, RobinPad, and hood.fun now offer no-code token creation, automated liquidity, and permissionless trading on the EVM-compatible Layer 2.
Robinhood Chain's total value locked has roughly tripled since mid-July to about $312 million, according to CoinDesk citing DefiLlama data. Despite growth in tokenized real-world assets, memecoins and stablecoins still dominate Robinhood Chain's activity. Tokenized equities, including GameStop, Nvidia, and SpaceX, are gaining traction but remain a fraction of total DEX volume on the chain.
The chain's future hinges on whether speculative memecoin traders convert into users of its tokenized equity and real-world asset offerings. For now, the raw volume numbers suggest Robinhood Chain has rapidly established itself as a serious force in the launchpad space, with its weekly figures now benchmarking against one of crypto's most established meme coin platforms.
