What happened
Robinhood Chain, an Ethereum-based Layer 2 blockchain, is expanding its network. Since its launch on July 1, 2026, the chain has processed $4.5 billion in decentralized exchange volume in a seven-day period. However, daily fees on the chain dropped 97% in two weeks, falling from roughly $8 million to about $230,000 per day, while transaction volume only slipped 6%.

Why it matters
The expansion and scaling patterns adopted by Robinhood Chain are validating the use of Layer 2 networks built on Ethereum. The dramatic reduction in per-transaction cost, from 64 cents to 2.6 cents, makes the network significantly cheaper for users.
