Arbitrum Gains New Revenue Stream as Robinhood Launches Chain Mainnet

The post Arbitrum to Capture 10% of Fees From Robinhood Chain appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Offchain Labs co-founder Steven Goldfeder says every Arbitrum-based Layer 2, not just Arbitrum One, will now route a fee cut back to the ARB treasury. Arbitrum will collect 10% of fees generated on Robinhood Chain and every other Layer 2 built on its technology stack, Offchain Labs co-founder Steven Goldfeder said Wednesday on X. Of that cut, 8% goes to the tokenholder-controlled Arbitrum treasury and 2% funds development, he said. Goldfeder framed the fee-sharing model as a revenue play tied to enterprise growth. “As enterprise adoption is heating up, Arbitrum is well positioned to capture revenue,” he wrote, adding that Arbitrum One, the flagship rollup, sends 100% of its own fees to the treasury. The disclosure clarifies how Arbitrum’s Orbit framework, the toolkit third parties use to launch custom Layer 2 and Layer 3 chains on Arbitrum’s stack, monetizes for ARB holders beyond the bas

The post Robinhood launched a Wall Street layer 2 chain and the market crowned a $150M cat coin first appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Robinhood launched the public mainnet of Robinhood Chain this month, describing it as a permissionless Layer 2 built on Arbitrum for tokenized stocks, real-world assets, DeFi lending, and AI-native finance. One week in, the chain’s loudest retail activity is driven by CASHCAT, a memecoin built on Robinhood’s own discarded “CashCat” name. The token reached nearly $150 million in market cap and over $159 million in 24-hour volume. CASHCAT gained liquidity, price charts, and social attention through Uniswap V3 pools and third-party launch and routing infrastructure, including Noxa.fun and Pump.fun, rather than through Robinhood’s own app-listing process. An explainer graphic outlines six steps showing how CASHCAT gained liquidity, price charts, and trading volume on Robinhood Chain without a formal listing.

The post Over $7.2 Billion Migrates From LayerZero To Chainlink CCIP As Mantle Joins The Exodus appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The multi-billion-dollar renovation of crypto’s cross-chain plumbing just picked up speed. More than $7.2 billion in total value has now migrated from LayerZero to Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), a wave that now includes Mantle, the Ethereum layer-2 network, as its most recent participant. The flows were detailed in the original report on the migration event. The movement isn’t a one-off. Projects Kelp and Lombard each brought over $1 billion when they made the switch earlier. Solv Protocol, Virtuals, Re, and tokenized assets from Kraken have also shifted their cross-chain messaging to CCIP. The sheer scale turns a series of protocol decisions into something that looks like a structural preference pivot—not just a change of vendor, but a bet on which interoperability standard will anchor the next phase of on-chain finance.

The post Robinhood Chain Launch Sets New DeFi Volume Benchmark appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Robinhood Chain’s launch on July 1 did something most new Layer 2 blockchains never manage: it forced people to look twice at the numbers. $570 million in daily volume against just $21.68 million in total value locked — a 26:1 ratio that doesn’t exist anywhere else in decentralized finance at comparable scale. Most established DEXs with years of battle-tested liquidity sit at or below 1:1. Robinhood Chain turned over its entire liquidity base 26 times in a single day. Key takeaways Robinhood Chain launched July 1 as a permissionless Layer 2 on Arbitrum Orbit, with mainnet live from day one. Launch-day volume hit $570 million against $21.68 million TVL — a 26:1 ratio far above typical DEX benchmarks — largely driven by speculative memecoin trading. TVL has since grown past $240 million, mostly driven by Morpho and Ethena. The ARB token surged over 12% after Offchain Labs confirmed 10% of
