Bonk Guy posted an analysis of the Robinhood chain ecosystem on X, urging Robinhood to strengthen its efforts on ecosystem tokens. He believes that the previous rise of the chain primarily relied on Robinhood's large retail user base and the narrative surrounding token listings, rather than technical advantages, thus creating a flywheel effect.Bonk Guy pointed out that the Robinhood chain has recently weakened, with reasons including the need for a correction after the previous large increase in ecosystem tokens, funds being diverted due to the recovery of Solana, and Robinhood's insufficient follow-up on ecosystem projects like PONS and AI.He stated that the absence of a collapse in the ecosystem after the HOOD Summit is a positive signal, and he remains optimistic about the user base and the flywheel effect of token listings in this ecosystem; if Robinhood increases listing catalysts and strengthens the distribution effect of token listings, on-chain activities will warm up in a bull market, and the next wave of increases will arrive soon.

Austrian cryptocurrency exchange Bitpanda's co-CEO Christian Trummer stated in Cointelegraph's Chain Reaction program that with the implementation of the European Union's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), European crypto users' trust in regulated platforms has increased. He pointed out that most users trust regulated market participants more than managing private keys themselves.Trummer described the preference for self-custody as a small circle focused on "Crypto Twitter," believing that most users are more inclined to choose regulated service providers. He also called on regulators to enforce MiCA more strictly, stating that some companies are still providing services to European customers without obtaining a MiCA license, putting compliant businesses at a competitive disadvantage.The transition period for existing crypto service providers under MiCA ended no later than July 1, and the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) instructed national regulators to take action against unauthorized companies that continue to provide crypto services after the transition period. ESMA subsequently called for stronger regulatory powers to address unauthorized crypto services and third-country companies soliciting business from EU investors without MiCA authorization.

According to The Block, Robinhood Wallet announced the integration of Arcus's API, becoming one of several routing providers for its stock token spot exchanges.Eligible users can access Arcus's liquidity and execution infrastructure through the wallet in supported jurisdictions. This integration expands the number of stock tokens supported by Robinhood Wallet to over 190.Arcus, developed by the dYdX team, launched on Robinhood Chain in July this year, initially supporting over 90 stock tokens, and the lineup has now increased to over 190, while the perpetual contract market is still in the testing phase. Its system uses a Request for Quote (RFQ) model, where professional market makers compete to price each exchange rather than relying on a single liquidity pool.Arcus stated that if Robinhood Wallet users execute exchanges through Arcus, they may earn Arcus Points. Arcus will also provide users with limit order functionality through the wallet's dapp browser.Arcus claims that since its launch, the cumulative trading volume has exceeded $5 billion, with over 15,000 independent traders and a total locked value of over $28 million. Arcus CEO Eddie Zhang stated that early growth confirms previous judgments that traders need a global, accessible, and around-the-clock operating market.

According to CoinDesk, brokerage Robinhood (HOOD) announced at the HOOD Summit held in Houston, Texas, that it will launch executable trading AI agents, cryptocurrency perpetual contracts with up to 10x leverage, and weekend trading for U.S. stocks, while extending options trading hours, providing more intraday margin, and introducing contracts based on corporate earnings metrics.Robinhood Agents allow customers to create AI agents within the app, choose models from OpenAI or Anthropic, and authorize them to access independent trading accounts. The agents can analyze the market, create watchlists, and trade stocks, options, and crypto assets. A feature called Loops allows customers to give long-term instructions to the agents to monitor the market and execute strategies when specific conditions arise. Since opening its trading infrastructure to external AI agents earlier this year, over 150,000 agent accounts have been created. By default, every trade proposed by the agent requires customer approval, and users can disable this protection; agents cannot use margin when they go live and can only utilize funds in dedicated accounts.Regarding perpetual contracts, Robinhood plans to offer them to eligible U.S. customers through Robinhood Derivatives and Bitstamp, initially focusing on crypto assets, with Bitcoin and Ethereum contracts having leverage up to 10x, while other supported assets starting at 3x. Additionally, Robinhood will provide earnings binary contracts through Cboe, allowing customers to trade directly on whether companies meet revenue, earnings per share, and other metrics; weekend trading will offer select stocks and ETFs through Bruce ATS.

According to CoinPost, the National Tax Agency of Japan officially launched the first upgrade of its next-generation core system KSK2 on September 24, marking the first upgrade in about 25 years. The new system centers around personal identification numbers (My Number) and corporate identification numbers, achieving unified management of individual and corporate data, and introducing AI technology to enhance the detection of improper declarations.Cryptocurrency traders and investors are particularly affected, as annual transaction reports submitted by exchanges, bank account deposit and withdrawal records, and information exchange with overseas tax authorities (CRS) data have all been included in the key analysis scope of AI.In addition, statements related to "cryptocurrency profits" on social media will also be compared with declaration data, significantly increasing the risk of tax investigations. The National Tax Agency has also integrated horizontal data between corporations and individuals, making it easier to identify inconsistencies in assets and income for investors who purchase cryptocurrencies through private company investments or with funds from gifts and inheritances.Industry insiders emphasize that properly retaining annual transaction reports and accurately and completely declaring them has become an urgent priority.

AMC CEO Adam Aron posted on the X platform again naming Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev and Chief Legal Officer Dan Gallagher. He stated that Robinhood had previously expressed support for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding the tokenization of U.S. stocks, believing that tokenized stocks should have voting rights and that companies should have the option to opt-out.Adam Aron also pointed out that it would be very "hypocritical" if Robinhood did not apply the same principles in its overseas operations, and he urged them not to go against the SEC's stance, "do not openly disrespect and provoke the SEC."

The GoPlus security team disclosed that a high-risk fraudulent Meme factory was recently discovered on the Robinhood Chain, with a transaction volume exceeding 9 million dollars in the past 30 days, involving hundreds of fraudulent Memes. The asset aggregation address is 0x8c3Bad30cc7563A2D0357F49509FFd063666bb00. As of September 28, 2026, the address balance is approximately 56.0635 ETH, equivalent to about 148,000 dollars; the address has a total of about 1,385 transactions, with the latest 400 transactions generating approximately 1,728.02 ETH in income and transferring out approximately 1,861.12 ETH; the two-way transaction volume is about 3,589.14 ETH, equivalent to about 9.49 million dollars.Direct evidence of "authorizing or selling tokens ---> liquidating ETH ---> transferring to the same aggregation address" was found in the high-risk associated Memes. The amount is the gross amount transferred into the aggregation system from the same project batch and does not represent net profit. The fraudulent Meme factory model mainly includes "new accounts shipping out ---> layered aggregation ---> fund recycling: 1. Creating Tokens based on industry hotspots; 2. Allocating Tokens to a large number of new EOAs with only 4 to 11 transactions; 3. Selling in segments through PonsV2Helper / UniversalRouter; 4. Emptying ETH to local aggregators or the main aggregation address (0x8c3bad); 5. Providing funds for the next round of projects, new wallets, and trading operations. The key to this fraud model is: 1. Using a large number of new wallets to hide the actual concentration of chips; 2. Segmentally selling by these wallets to create the illusion of multiple independent traders; 3. After the shipment is completed, funds flow into the same aggregation system; 4. Reinvesting the profits from old projects into the next round.On-chain researcher Wazz recently disclosed that a suspected continuous Rug gang initiated at least 53 Robinhood Chain Memes within about two months and extracted approximately 18.43 million dollars from them. Their main tactic is to control most of the token supply using 70 to 200 wallets, then reinvest the profits from the previous round into the next round. This case is similar to the fraudulent model in this case, but there is currently no evidence to indicate that it is the same gang.

According to on-chain analyst Wazz, there is an organized chain of Rug Pull and fund extraction gang on Robinhood, which has been associated with 53 token issuances in the past two months. The directly traceable extraction amount has reached 18.43 million USD, and the actual amount may be higher.It is reported that the gang's methods are highly systematic: the funds raised from each issuance will flow into the launch wallet of the next issuance within seconds, forming a chain of funds; each issuance is bundled with 70-200 wallets to capture over 70% of the supply, mostly issued through the Pons V2 platform.In addition, the gang also creates "fake issuances" to hype up before the official issuance, harvesting market sentiment in advance, and then publishes the real contract address to maximize extraction profits. The token under investigation, $DEED, even failed to make it into the top ten of the extraction amounts.

Robinhood is responsible for running the sequencer and receives about 90% of the on-chain fees. After deducting Ethereum settlement costs and the 10% licensing fee paid to Arbitrum DAO, the net income for August was approximately $6 million. Regarding Robinhood Earn, users deposit USDG and borrow through Morpho, with the deposit scale increasing from $9.5 million on July 1 to $456 million on August 31, accounting for 68% of Robinhood Chain's TVL at the end of the month. Users can earn an estimated annualized yield of about 7%, while the yield on the loan side was approximately 3.7% at the end of August, with the difference subsidized by reward funds provided by Morpho and its lending partners.Meanwhile, the Meme ecosystem of Robinhood Chain is growing rapidly. By the end of August, over 340,000 tokens had been issued on-chain, with application layer transaction fees reaching $114 million in August. The report states that the trading volume of Meme and tokenized stock trading pairs is also growing rapidly, with the trading volume of Meme tokens paired with Robinhood Stock Tokens reaching $518 million in August.
