Robinhood’s own blockchain is generating more than twice the 24-hour NFT trading volume of Ethereum. For a chain that didn’t exist before July 1, that’s a remarkable flex against the network that essentially invented the NFT market.
The Robinhood Chain, a permissionless Layer 2 built on Arbitrum technology, has been posting roughly $1.05 million in daily NFT volume according to recent data. Ethereum, the chain that gave the world CryptoPunks and Bored Apes, is sitting at less than half that figure on a given day.
A chain built for speed, fueled by memes
Robinhood Chain launched its mainnet on July 1, 2026, positioning itself as what the company calls an “AI-native” Layer 2 blockchain. The pitch includes tokenized real-world assets like stock tokens alongside the usual DeFi suite.
The Spritehood collection offered the clearest proof of demand. A set of 44,444 NFTs sold out in roughly 54 minutes, pulling in approximately $1.28 million, or around 684 ETH at the time of sale.
