# Robinhood Chain scales amid revenue surges and IPO entry > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/european-firms-disclose-mixed-q1-earnings-amid-market-pressures > Updated: 2026-09-11T22:23:50.000Z. Sources: 195. Developments: 73. Following a record-breaking quarter in August 2024, Robinhood accelerated its expansion into crypto, AI-driven trading, and tokenized securities. The launch of the Ethereum-compatible Robinhood Chain in July 2024 drove significant activity, with total value locked (TVL) reaching $1.3 billion by early August 2026. By early September 2026, the network recorded record daily trading volumes for RWA-linked tokens and transaction fees exceeding those of the Arbitrum mainnet. On September 4, the Robinhood Chain experienced a 14-minute halt in block production due to issues with batch posting to the Ethereum mainnet. Despite this, network revenue has continued to surge. By early September, the memecoin launchpad Pons became a primary driver of traffic; on September 2, it generated $5.95 million in daily fees. Its fee-sharing model has resulted in the destruction of 29% of its native token supply. By September 8, weekly transaction fees on the Robinhood Chain surged over 17 times to approximately $25 million. Wall Street analysts have responded with increased optimism. Following previous upgrades by Morgan Stanley and Deutsche Bank, StoneX Financial issued a “buy” rating with a $170 price target, noting Robinhood’s evolution into a broader platform. Bernstein set a $160 target, projecting the chain could generate $160 million in annual revenue by 2028. Other institutions, including Goldman Sachs and Jefferies, also raised their price targets to $142 and $140, respectively. Beyond blockchain, Robinhood is expanding its financial ecosystem by entering the IPO underwriting market, recently serving as an underwriter for the Finnish smart ring manufacturer Oura, and expanding into prediction markets through a deal with Crypto.com. ## Claims - The 24-hour revenue figure for Robinhood Chain exceeded that of Hyperliquid L1, Ethereum, and Base.
