DeFi analyst Jordi in Cryptoland posted on X stating that historical data shows Uniswap's activation of the Fee Switch did not weaken its competitiveness—its market share not only held steady but even increased. Before the fee switch was turned on, Uniswap accounted for 21% of total DEX trading volume; immediately after the switch was flipped, its share remained essentially flat; now, with the onboarding of the Robinhood channel, its share has risen to 31%.Today, Uniswap's value capture capability is also stronger. Protocol monthly revenue started from zero and has now stabilized at around $7.2 million. Compared to its multi-billion-dollar valuation, this figure is not particularly impressive (the P/E ratio remains above 40x), but with market share increasing by 10 percentage points while monthly revenue jumped from zero to $7.2 million, this is absolutely a massive milestone.
Odaily News: Johann Kerbrat, Head of Crypto at Robinhood, posted on X platform that all Robinhood stock tokens are 1:1 backed by securely custodied real shares, and corresponding real shares of the company are purchased simultaneously when tokens are minted. Stock tokens provide economic rights equivalent to dividends and corporate action returns, with related returns reinvested into holdings.Johann Kerbrat stated that physical redemption and voting rights are not yet available, and Robinhood is working to enable 1:1 share redemption and voting functionality for eligible stock token holders. These tokens are composable, allowing developers to build new products on top of them.Additionally, he emphasized that stock tokens are not available to U.S. users and are also restricted in other jurisdictions such as Canada, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland.

According to Chaoshan Research, Bernstein’s September 8, 2026 research report indicates that Robinhood Chain has rapidly become a revenue engine since its launch on July 1, generating approximately $33 million in fees over the past 15 days. This ranks it first among all blockchains, significantly ahead of Solana (approximately $11 million) and BNB Chain (approximately $9 million). Daily transaction fees on the chain range from $2 million to $4 million, with Robinhood retaining approximately 90% of the revenue. Bernstein maintains an "Outperform" rating with a price target of $160, implying approximately 31% upside potential from the current stock price. On the on-chain data front, Total Value Locked stands at approximately $1.5 billion, while cumulative DEX trading volume exceeds $50 billion. The value of tokenized stocks has risen from approximately $10 million to $140 million; stablecoin supply has reached approximately $1 billion, marking a sharp increase from $241 million in early July. Bernstein projects that annual on-chain fee revenue could reach $160 million by 2028.
Perp DEX PopDEX, built for real traders, has recorded over $1.7B+ in trading volume and an LP pool size of approximately $61 million during its Closed Beta phase. Meanwhile, the platform has completed three rounds of cash reward distributions covering traders, feedback contributors, and community builders; in the latest round, single-address rewards reached up to 3,300 USDT. As the hype surrounding Robinhood Chain and BNB Chain memes continues to grow, PopDEX has launched popular meme perps including PONS, CASHCAT, and MARSCOIN, and initiated the Meme Gang War trading competition to provide traders with additional reward pool opportunities beyond standard incentives.

Smart Allocator's cumulative earnings reached $26.738 million, with monthly new earnings of $3.015 million, representing a 13.6% quarter-over-quarter increase.The report comprehensively discloses USDD's reserve structure, yield operations, treasury health, and ecosystem progress, continuously reinforcing its over-collateralization and fully on-chain transparency mechanisms. According to officials, the project will continue its growth momentum, further expanding the ecosystem, enhancing utility, and deepening integrations with mainstream DeFi protocols to create more opportunities for users to participate in the ecosystem.
Odaily News: Long.xyz announced on the X platform that its tokenized stock trading volume on Robinhood Crypto has surpassed $1 billion, accounting for 15% of all tokenized stock DEX trading volume since Robinhood Chain's launch.
According to on-chain analyst Mlm onchain, TradeXYZ has completed the HIP-4 DEX deployment on Hyperliquid. On-chain transaction records show that the deployment was completed at 21:15 Beijing Time on September 5.
According to the official ZKsync X account (@zksync), ZKsync has announced a security upgrade for its EraVM chain. Core measures include introducing an instant upgrade framework, extending the proving delay from 3 hours to 24 hours, and deploying a second prover, EraBender, to defend against AI-driven vulnerability attacks. Over the next six months, all Boojum/EraVM chains will gradually phase out the legacy execution environment, with each chain formulating and publishing its own transition schedule. Users who hold funds directly in EOAs do not need to take any action at this time. Users who hold funds through smart contracts such as multisigs, smart accounts, DEXs, and lending protocols must take action as required once the transition plans for their respective chains are finalized. The ZKsync Atlas chain remains unaffected by this upgrade.
Odaily News Uniswap founder Hayden said on X that correlated trading pairs are emerging. The top five tokenized SPY trading pairs by volume are "bridge" pairs connecting other common base pairs, which then primarily link to highly correlated tokenized stocks. These markets are global, programmable, low-cost, and operate 24/7.Uniswap founder Hayden said on X:.I've been working at the frontier of DeFi for 9 years. It's a fascinating field with infinite depth and the potential to transform capital markets.I've always believed AMMs hold immense potential, but for the past decade, one question has persisted: Can this novel market structure truly become the core engine for all financial markets?After years of evolution and development, the path for AMMs to achieve global dominance is becoming increasingly clear. To explain this, we need to start in 1976.Tokenization Changes Market Makers.Index funds celebrated their 50th anniversary this month. When Jack Bogle launched the index fund in 1976, he hoped to raise $150 million but ultimately raised only $11.3 million. Competitors called it "Bogle's Folly," posting posters claiming index funds were un-American. They argued that a fund making no decisions couldn't possibly beat professionals paid to make decisions. Today, the majority of US fund assets are allocated to passive investment vehicles.I've been thinking about this recently because tokenization's "folly moment" is ending. The SEC has approved NASDAQ and the NYSE to trade tokenized stocks. DTCC, which handles virtually all US securities settlement, also conducted a live pilot of tokenized trades in July. Nearly all related activity is described the same way: treating tokenization as an infrastructure upgrade.The same markets, faster, cheaper, and always open. These statements are all true, but I believe the infrastructure upgrade framework obscures a larger change. Tokenization makes markets programmable, changing how markets exist, who makes markets, and what is traded.In 2018, I created Uniswap, an automated market maker protocol. Anyone can deposit two assets into a shared liquidity pool and earn fees from every trade, while prices adjust along a curve as users buy and sell. Uniswap has operated autonomously since its launch, processing over $4.6 trillion in cumulative volume and increasing DEX spot volume share from under 1% to over 20%.As AMMs like Uniswap continue to evolve, their liquidity has formed a pattern most financial markets haven't noticed yet: correlated trading pairs.The Easiest Place to Find Success.To succeed everywhere, you must first succeed somewhere. AMMs found product-market fit in long-tail markets because most assets previously couldn't attract professional market makers' attention. On Uniswap, anyone can create a market with a single transaction, and issuers and early supporters can become the first liquidity providers.Then came stablecoin pairs. Take USDC/USDT, for example. A good passive strategy can approach optimal l
Privacy-focused public chain Zano activated its sixth hard fork (HF6) at block height 3,833,000 on August 31. The upgrade is now live on the mainnet, marking the largest upgrade in the network's seven-year history.HF6 introduces Gateway Addresses, providing centralized exchanges, DEXs, and cross-chain bridges with directly trackable single balances and instant synchronization, while preserving existing addresses and their privacy model. Native ZANO can now be transferred non-custodially across chains to Ethereum, Solana, and TON, where it becomes public on external networks, and privacy protection is restored upon transferring back to Zano.The upgrade also tightens consensus validation rules and enhances wallet encryption, mining pool fault tolerance, payment IDs, anti-DoS restrictions, SOCKS5 proxy, and RPC interfaces.HF6 is a prerequisite for the EVM-compatible chain Zano Execution Layer, which is currently in development and has no fixed launch date yet; the next-generation consensus protocol Zenith has been included in the 2027 roadmap.

Odaily News – Robinhood's blockchain, Robinhood Chain, has recently seen a surge in trading activity. On August 30, the network processed a record 5.52 million transactions in a single day, with on-chain applications generating approximately $2.66 million in 24-hour revenue—surpassing Ethereum's roughly $1.3 million and trailing only Solana's $5.07 million.Meanwhile, Robinhood Chain recorded approximately $875 million in daily decentralized exchange (DEX) trading volume. Among this, the two major versions of Uniswap contributed around $432 million and $357 million in trading volume, respectively.Meme coin trading is one of the primary drivers behind this surge in activity. Data shows that Pons, a token launch platform on Robinhood Chain, created approximately 22,600 tokens in a single day, marking an increase of over 40% from the previous day. Together, GMGN, Pons, and Uniswap accounted for roughly 88% of the network's application revenue.Robinhood launched Robinhood Chain on July 1, initially focusing on the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) such as stocks. However, within just a few weeks of going live, meme coin trading quickly took center stage. Now, as the crypto market warms up, trading activity on Robinhood Chain has continued to intensify, with daily network transactions climbing from under 1 million in early July to over 5 million.Based on current data, the most active use case on Robinhood Chain is not tokenized stocks, but rather meme coin issuance and speculative trading.

Odaily News: Between January 2025 and July 2026, a total of 245 security incidents were recorded. The top ten attack events accounted for over 72.5% of stolen funds. Supply chain and infrastructure vulnerabilities remain the primary security risks facing both CEXs and DEXs, with related losses exceeding $1.8 billion. Private key leakage is the most common risk for CEXs, while DApps lost approximately $546 million due to smart contract vulnerabilities. Among the 147 incidents involving platforms that had completed independent security audits, stolen funds accounted for 88.44% of total losses. Most attacks fell outside the scope of traditional audit coverage, with common causes including external infrastructure, unaudited code updates, and governance attacks. Only about 11% of incidents involved smart contract defects within audit scope.
Odaily News: Pons, an ecosystem project on the Robinhood Chain, announced that within just one month of its launch, it has generated over $2.85 billion in trading volume, representing more than 11% of the approximately $25 billion total trading volume on Robinhood DEX.
According to The Block, Arcus has launched the pToken protocol on Robinhood Chain, which converts positions in perpetual contract accounts with fixed markets and leverage levels into transferable ERC-20 tokens that can be used in on-chain protocols such as lending. The initial release supports leveraged exposure to BTC, SOL, HYPE, and select stock tokens, while also introducing multi-asset collateral functionality that enables SPY, QQQ, and MAG7 tokens to serve as collateral for perpetual trading.
Odaily News, Blockworks analyst Shaunda Devens stated on the X platform that Kraken may be testing Hyperliquid's HIP-3 (Builder-Deployed Perpetuals) new compliant deployment feature, potentially becoming one of the first centralized exchanges to explore this mechanism. BlockworksData shows that a deployer named "Kraken HIP-3 test DEX" has enabled permission management functionality (Star gating) on the Hyperliquid testnet and went live for testing on August 19. Currently, this test DEX has completed whitelist settings for 10 wallets, tested 3 of the 5 compliance control features, and registered a "Kraken Exchange Validator."Shaunda Devens noted that Hyperliquid has been continuously adding testnet features to support regulatory-compliant HIP-3 deployments, including whitelist management, canceling user orders, closing positions via reduce-only orders, and moving collateral. These capabilities are similar to the risk control mechanisms required by traditional financial institutions' compliant trading platforms.Although this is still in the testing phase, and any user could deploy a test DEX with a similar name, making it impossible to confirm it definitively belongs to Kraken, combined with Hyperliquid's recent expansion of xStocks functionality and Kraken's parent company Payward's involvement in related business initiatives, analysts believe Kraken may be testing HyperCore's new infrastructure targeting institutional and compliant markets.HIP-3 is a third-party deployed perpetual contract market framework introduced by Hyperliquid, allowing eligible developers to create independent perpetual trading markets on HyperCore's order book infrastructure. It is considered a key upgrade direction for Hyperliquid to expand into traditional assets and institutional trading scenarios. If large compliant exchanges like Kraken enter the HIP-3 ecosystem, it could further drive the integration of on-chain derivatives markets with traditional financial trading systems.
Odaily News: Blockchain data analytics platform Nansen released its "Starknet H1 2026 Report," stating that in the first half of 2026, Starknet completed its strategic transformation from a high-performance Layer 2 network to a "privacy-preserving execution layer." The launch of the STRK20 privacy framework and the Bitcoin asset strkBTC became the ecosystem's most significant upgrades.The report notes that as an Ethereum-based ZK-Rollup network, Starknet generates STARK proofs off-chain and verifies them on-chain, achieving high throughput and low transaction costs. Its smart contracts use the Cairo language, specifically designed for verifiable computation, and support native account abstraction functionality.In the first half of this year, Starknet launched the v0.14.2 upgrade, introducing the SNIP-36 protocol to lay the technical foundation for private transactions. This upgrade allows the network to directly verify off-chain execution proofs, enabling confidential state transitions without exposing account balances or counterparty information. Additionally, SNIP-37 adjusted the network's economic model, increasing storage costs while lowering base gas fees to optimize incentives for long-term state growth.In terms of privacy applications, Starknet launched the STRK20 privacy framework, which allows users to convert any ERC-20 asset into encrypted balances and conduct private transfers, trades, and DeFi interactions. The system is built on zero-knowledge proof technology and implements compliant auditing through an encrypted viewing key mechanism, protecting user privacy while supporting targeted information disclosure in regulatory scenarios.On-chain data shows that in Q2 2026, Starknet recorded an average daily transaction volume of approximately 239,000 and an average of about 50,000 daily active addresses. During the period, a total of 22.5 million transactions were completed, involving approximately 71,000 users. Among these, DEX aggregator AVNU contributed roughly 14 million transactions, accounting for 62.2% of total volume; gaming infrastructure Cartridge contributed 6.57 million transactions, with the two combined accounting for approximately 91% of transaction activity.
Odaily News: Standard Chartered Bank's Head of Global Digital Assets Research, Geoff Kendrick, stated that as the tokenization of Real World Assets (RWA) accelerates, the price of Chainlink (LINK) tokens could rise to $200 by the end of 2030, representing an increase of over 25 times from its current level of approximately $8.In his latest report, Kendrick predicts that the scale of tokenized RWA will reach $4 trillion by the end of 2028. As more traditional assets are brought on-chain, the demand for secure and reliable off-chain data is expected to increase significantly, which could further boost Chainlink's fee revenue and drive up LINK's valuation.The report also projects that by the end of 2030, the scale of tokenized assets and crypto-native assets deployed in decentralized finance (DeFi) will grow approximately 37-fold to reach $2.7 trillion. Kendrick believes these assets require trusted data, cross-network interoperability, privacy-preserving compliance mechanisms, and integration with the existing financial system—infrastructure that Chainlink currently has the capability to provide.Demand for RWA tokenization has continued to grow recently. Data shows that trading volume of tokenized RWAs on decentralized exchanges (DEXs) hit an all-time high of $14.1 billion in July, up 19.5% month-over-month, driven primarily by public market assets such as tokenized stocks.Currently, Chainlink remains one of the largest decentralized oracle service providers in the crypto industry, with a Total Value Secured (TVS) of approximately $34.4 billion—significantly higher than second-ranked Chronicle's $7.36 billion.However, Kendrick also noted that the prediction of LINK reaching $200 still faces risks, including institutional tokenization projects progressing slower than expected, intensified competition from specialized oracle service providers, and potential technical issues.
