In Brief

Robinhood Chain logged $874.8 million in DEX volume on August 30, a record.
Pons (PONS) led all tokens with $67.38 million traded in 24 hours.
Uniswap V4 routed $432 million of the day's total, more than V3.

Robinhood Chain recorded $874.8 million in decentralized exchange (DEX) volume on August 30, its largest single day since the network launched on July 1.

Uniswap routed almost 95% of that total across three versions. A closer look at the activity shows meme coins still setting the pace.

How Cash Cat Set the Template

Robinhood launched its Arbitrum-based Layer 2 on July 1. Within a week, one meme coin was leading the chain.

Cash Cat (CASHCAT) became the first breakout token, climbing to successive highs and topping the chain’s trading tables.

Volume set its previous high of $846.8 million in mid-July, alongside 306,893 active addresses. It then fell back through early August.

Momentum returned late in the month, and the rebound carried more than one record. The chain processed 5.5 million transactions on August 30. Token launchpad volume reached an all-time high of $394.4 million.

Real-world assets are gaining traction as well. Tokenized value on the chain reached $51.81 million, led by $40.76 million in stocks. RWA activity totaled $165.5 million that day, also a record.

Meanwhile, Uniswap version 4 did the heavier lifting at $432 million, ahead of version 3 at $356.9 million and version 2 at $40 million.

Robinhood Chain’s July peak came from launch-week novelty and a token tied to the company’s own name. The next test is whether daily volume holds once the meme coin frenzy cools.
