The post Robinhood Chain Metrics Surge as the Network Leans Into Memecoins appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Pump.fun added trading for Robinhood Chain tokens and prediction market World said it will migrate from Solana, as CEO Vlad Tenev reversed course to call the RWA-focused chain ‘great for memes.’ The biggest jump in value locked, though, came from an Ethena stablecoin deposit. Robinhood Chain’s onchain activity surged this week as a memecoin frenzy, a Pump.fun integration and a defecting Solana app converged on the barely week-old network — even as its largest single inflow traced to a stablecoin deposit rather than the meme trade. Cumulative addresses on the Arbitrum-based Layer 2 climbed toward 200,000 and protocol total value locked reached roughly $234 million, according to a network overview dashboard published by Entropy Advisors on Dune. The chain went live to the public on July 1, meaning nearly all of that growth was compressed into the past week, with activity accele

The World prediction market, which launched on Solana (SOL) barely a week ago, said it will move to Robinhood Chain. The team offered no clear reason for leaving so soon after its debut.

A Fast Rise for the World Prediction Market Prediction markets let people bet real money on the outcome of real events, from elections to football matches. World arrived in that fast-growing space with real hype. The project built attention with a stealth campaign, teasing a glowing globe and the line “Trade Everything” before any product. It then went live inside Phantom on July 1, a wallet with more than 15 million monthly users. World never holds user money. It settles bets automatically using Chainlink data and pays

Bitcoin supporters rejected the proposal, defending the 21 million cap as key to BTC’s scarcity. StarkWare CEO Eli Ben-Sasson has suggested the Bitcoin network should replace its fixed 21 million supply cap with a permanent 4% annual issuance rate. He argued that Bitcoin’s hard cap becomes less practical over time because private keys are constantly lost, permanently removing coins from circulation. Ben-Sasson also cited long-term concerns about Bitcoin’s network security. Ben-Sasson Questions Bitcoin’s Fixed Supply In a post on X, Ben-Sasson argued that Bitcoin’s fixed supply limit creates problems over the long term. “Capping the supply of Bitcoin at 21M doesn’t make sense,” he wrote. He added that
