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.

Zapper, the DeFi portfolio tracker and dashboard, will shut down entirely on August 3rd, co-founder and CEO Seb Audet said in a post on X Wednesday.

Existing API users will receive transition guidance by email, he said. Seven-Year Run Zapper launched in 2019 as a simple portfolio tracker Audet built for himself while exploring early DeFi, before scaling into a broader dashboard for tracking liquidity pools, yield farms and claimable rewards.

HPC and Phantom Push for Tailored DeFi Rules In their joint comment, HPC and Phantom argue that developers who publish onchain protocol software should not automatically be treated as operators of exchanges or clearinghouses. Instead, they urge the CFTC to distinguish between building technology and prov
