Odaily News: HyperliquidNews posted on X platform, stating that HIP-3 DEX @tradeparagon has introduced a new feature for VIP users, who can now request tickers they wish to have listed.
data from Dune shows that the trading volume of the stock token rToken launched by Bitget has reached approximately $30 million in the past 24 hours, while the total trading volume of Ondo stock tokens across all CEXs and DEXs was about $25 million.Ondo is one of the earliest RWA protocols to venture into stock tokens. Its assets were previously listed on platforms such as Binance Wallet, Bitget, and Gate, with a peak daily trading volume reaching $620 million. However, as various trading platforms have begun launching their own stock tokens, Ondo's overall trading volume has experienced a significant decline compared to the beginning of the year.
Approximately one month after its launch, Robinhood Chain has surpassed Solana in two metrics: Meme coin trading volume and the number of tokenized stock holders. On-chain data shows that Robinhood Launchpad's weekly trading volume reached $1.23 billion, surpassing Solana's core Meme coin platform PumpSwap's $1.22 billion for the first time; in terms of tokenized stock asset holders, Robinhood Chain leads with 330,000 users, followed closely by Solana with 281,000, while BNB Chain ranks third with 214,000. However, the lead in holder count has not translated into an advantage in asset scale—Robinhood Chain accounts for only about 1% of the over $2 billion tokenized stock market. Additionally, Meme coin hype cooled off towards the end of the month, with the chain's DEX daily trading volume falling from a peak of $900 million to around $500 million. To date, Robinhood Chain has generated cumulative revenue of approximately $3 million. On the stock front, institutional analysts from Bernstein, Goldman Sachs, and others maintain a bullish outlook on HOOD stock, with a target price of $122, representing approximately 31% upside potential from the current price of $92.7.
Uniswap founder Hayden posted on X, stating that one of the biggest misconceptions in the DeFi space is that DEX aggregators have eliminated the distribution advantages of AMMs. Listing a token on Uniswap is like being simultaneously listed on all global exchanges for free, something other AMMs cannot achieve.
Coinbase announced on X platform that it is upgrading the Coinbase DEX experience. Users can now search for and trade Base or Solana tokens immediately after they go live on-chain, now available on the new Launches tab.
Rajiv Patel-O’Connor posted on X, stating that a new feature called "stars" has been observed on the Hyperliquid testnet. This feature allows deployers to create DEXs authorized by an HIP-3 address whitelist for trading. Currently, the testnet whitelist has a cap of 10,000 addresses. Addresses not on the whitelist can only submit reduce-only orders or fund their accounts.
according to official sources, OKX, in collaboration with Elliptic, SlowMist, and OttoSec, has released the "H1 2026 Web3 Security and Risk Control Report." The report indicates that the focus of Web3 attacks is shifting from smart contract code to more complex scenarios such as signature processes, user devices, operational infrastructure, and AI Agents.Data shows that in the first half of 2026, OKX's risk control system intercepted over 5.7 million high-risk transactions, including approximately 2.41 million related to hacking and theft, about 1.48 million phishing-related transactions, and roughly 990,000 fraud-related transactions. OKX Web3's on-chain intelligence label library now boasts over 1.1 billion labels, covering more than 420 chains. It has also integrated capabilities such as address screening, transaction monitoring, and sanctioned address control into infrastructure like DEX and Exchange OS.Furthermore, in terms of user protection, OKX has intercepted over 7 million risky website visits, completed more than 200,000 device risk detections, identified over 60,000 high-risk Apps, and blocked or alerted on over 4 million high-risk signature operations. The report also introduces the "proactive risk control" design in scenarios such as Exchange OS, Outcomes, RWA, and Agentic Wallet.
crypto exchange Coinbase disclosed that a routine infrastructure update last week, due to an undetected Kubernetes resource name conflict, mistakenly modified the Istio ingress gateway component, resulting in approximately 50 minutes of service interruption. Coinbase stated that customer funds were not at risk. The outage occurred between approximately 12:37 PM and 1:25 PM Eastern Time, impacting retail, institutional, and developer platforms. Some users were unable to complete deposits, withdrawals, or off-platform transactions, Coinbase Card debit card purchases were declined, while credit card purchases were unaffected. The outage also affected on-chain swaps on Base and Solana via Coinbase DEX, with Coinbase Exchange and Prime customers experiencing delayed or failed transfers and settlements. Coinbase stated it will add naming conflict checks, separate recovery tools from managed infrastructure, and test emergency access procedures more frequently.
Coinbase has released a post-mortem report on the service outage that occurred on July 14, stating the incident was caused by a misconfiguration of a critical network component triggered by a routine configuration update. The impact lasted approximately 50 minutes, and user funds remained safe throughout the period.Coinbase stated that at 12:34 Beijing time (12:34 AM Eastern Time) on July 14, the company deployed a routine configuration change to a shared production Kubernetes cluster hosting core infrastructure services. The update was originally intended to migrate to a new service deployment model to enhance system performance and reliability.However, due to a resource name conflict that was not detected by the pre-production environment's detection mechanisms, this configuration modification unexpectedly affected the Istio Ingress Gateway-related Kubernetes resources within the cluster, rendering the network component unavailable. Approximately 3 minutes later, all inbound traffic to the cluster was interrupted, preventing internal services from accessing several infrastructure components.Coinbase noted that because numerous asynchronous workflows rely on these infrastructure services, including processes such as transaction settlement, fund transfers, and debit card transaction authorizations, multiple business lines were affected. The impacted services included:Retail users were unable to complete off-chain transactions, deposits, and withdrawals; some pending transactions appeared stuck and were completed after the service was restored;Coinbase Card debit card transactions temporarily failed, credit card payments were unaffected, but some card management functions were unavailable;Coinbase DEX's on-chain swap services on Base and Solana were suspended;Coinbase Exchange and Prime institutional customers experienced failed or delayed transfers and settlements;Coinbase Developer Platform customers were unable to complete account creation, fund transfers, or deposit services.Coinbase stated that the ingress gateway was restored at 13:20 Eastern Time, and the incident was mitigated by 13:23. Subsequently, the system began processing the backlog of tasks, with most services returning to normal quickly; the remaining queues were processed over the following hours. During the recovery process, Coinbase encountered two additional challenges. First, the deployment tools themselves relied on the affected ingress gateway to operate, preventing the standard rollback process from being executed, creating a circular dependency where the "fault impacted the remediation tools." Second, while the emergency break-glass access process was effective, the permission verification and manual review procedures increased the recovery time.Coinbase stated that there was no risk to asset security in this incident, but it exposed areas requiring continuous optimization in automated deployment, system dependencies, and disaster recovery mechanisms for large-scale finan
RobinHub posted on platform X, stating that data shows since the launch of the Robinhood mainnet three weeks ago, the number of transactions has reached 119.75 million, the number of blocks has reached 15.25 million, the number of unique sending addresses has reached 1.66 million, the protocol TVL has reached $262 million, the number of deployed contracts has reached 974,300, the number of ERC-20 tokens has reached 396,000, the number of NFT collections has reached 9,090, and the number of DEX transactions has reached 46.66 million.
Blockworks' Solana Q2 2026 Token Holder Report indicates that the scale of on-chain tokenized asset trading reached a new high this quarter, hitting $5.8 billion, a 114% increase quarter-over-quarter. Among this, tokenized stock trading accounted for $4.8 billion, representing 97% of the entire network's tokenized equity trading volume, with institutional demand for RWA becoming the core growth driver.Dragged down by the ebbing tide of the meme coin market, Solana's real economic revenue decreased by 43% quarter-over-quarter to $51 million, and DEX spot trading volume fell back to $160.8 billion. However, the funding side remained robust, with SOL spot ETPs seeing a net inflow of $120 million and total staked amount reaching 427 million SOL, accounting for two-thirds of the total supply. Going forward, Solana will implement the Alpenglow upgrade and related SIMD proposals to adjust inflation and token burning rules, enhancing SOL's value capture capabilities.
Additionally, according to RWA Foundation data, approximately $116.4 million worth of tokenized active strategy assets are currently deployed on Mantle, ranking third in scale among all blockchain networks for this asset category.
Robinhood is betting on the decentralized finance (DeFi) market by building its own blockchain, Robinhood Chain, aiming to bring over 10 million active users into the on-chain ecosystem. However, current trading activity on the network is still primarily driven by meme coin speculation, while the initial vision of tokenizing real-world assets (RWA) has yet to gain traction.Trading volume on Robinhood Chain has seen rapid growth recently. On July 12, the chain’s 24-hour DEX trading volume reached approximately $878 million, briefly surpassing Coinbase’s Base and Ethereum to rank among the top in decentralized trading volume, sparking interest in the crypto community. However, Robinhood Chain is still in its early stages. Data shows:1. On July 13, the chain’s perpetual contract trading volume was only about $5.9 million, while leading on-chain derivatives platform Hyperliquid recorded a trading volume of $8.9 billion during the same period;2. Robinhood Chain’s bridged TVL is reported at around $734 million, but the actual on-chain total value locked (TVL) is approximately $211 million, with some assets remaining in wallets and not entering lending or yield protocols;3. The market capitalization of tokenized RWA assets currently stands at just about $12.66 million.Currently, most of the trading activity on Robinhood Chain comes from meme coins. The CASHCAT token, recently launched on the chain, surged over 2,100% in one week, reaching a market cap of $156 million at one point—12 times the size of the entire RWA market on the chain.Robinhood stated that early on-chain activity is meeting expectations, with developers building out the ecosystem and users actively engaging with the network. The company emphasized that the long-term goal remains to bring real-world assets like stocks and ETFs on-chain, enabling services such as 24/7 trading and on-chain lending.Analysts believe Robinhood Chain’s development trajectory mirrors the early stages of some new public chains: gaining initial traction through speculative trading before proving whether it can convert this into long-term users, a developer ecosystem, and real financial applications. The key going forward will be whether Robinhood can leverage its massive retail user base to transform the short-term meme coin frenzy into a sustainable on-chain financial ecosystem. (CoinDesk)
DeFi infrastructure company Enso disclosed a type of malicious liquidity pool called "toxic pools" in a report on July 16th. These pools manipulate transaction simulations to return false optimal quotes to wallets and DEX aggregators, subsequently altering the logic during actual on-chain execution. Enso stated that the relevant malicious contracts can identify read-only simulation environments and return optimized prices, but when the transaction is broadcast on-chain, it is executed at a worse price or causes the transaction to fail. One manipulated Curve pool processed over 129,000 swaps, resulting in approximately $225,000 in inflated quotes. Additionally, over 37,000 transactions were reverted, consuming nearly $30,000 in gas fees. On Polygon, a malicious Uniswap v4 hook attracted routing systems with fake exchange rates, subsequently triggering a 99.1% transaction failure rate. Enso stated that it has updated its execution protection product, Enso Shield, to detect fake quotes in Ethereum and Polygon environments.
Gate DEX has announced its full integration with Robinhood Chain, becoming one of the first mainstream exchange on-chain gateways to support this ecosystem, further expanding the platform's multi-chain ecosystem layout and Web3 infrastructure capabilities. This integration covers core scenarios such as asset discovery, wallet management, on-chain trading, cross-chain swaps, market tracking, and DApp interaction, providing users with a more complete and efficient on-chain experience.With this upgrade, Gate Main Site Alpha has added support for the display and trading of Robinhood Chain ecosystem assets, and has integrated with ecosystem launch platforms such as Noxa.fun and Bankr; Gate Wallet supports Robinhood Chain asset management and DApp interaction; Gate DEX Swap supports single-chain and cross-chain swaps on Robinhood Chain, and achieves asset interoperability with mainstream public chains such as BSC, Ethereum, and Base via Across and LayerZero, further improving the efficiency of multi-chain asset flow.As emerging public chain ecosystems like Robinhood Chain develop rapidly, Gate DEX continues to enhance its one-stop on-chain service capabilities covering asset discovery, trading, cross-chain connectivity, and ecosystem applications. Looking ahead, Gate will continue to deepen its multi-chain ecosystem development, connect with more high-quality public chains and innovative applications, continuously improve its Web3 product capabilities, and create a more open, efficient, and convenient on-chain experience for global users.
Odaily reports, perpetual contract DEX Ostium stated that platform trading remains paused following a security incident. User positions remain open but cannot be modified for now, and trading margin funds are still held in the frozen trading smart contract without any movement.Ostium stated that its team is continuously coordinating with relevant authorities, SEAL 911, and multiple security researchers. Updates regarding the resumption of smart contract activities and the timeline for fund recovery will be released subsequently.According to PeckShield monitoring, approximately 24 million USDC from Ostium's public OLP vault was stolen. The attacker subsequently swapped these funds for approximately 12,100 ETH, of which about 10,500 ETH was transferred to Tornado Cash.
Robinhood Chain attracted over $141 million in bridged ETH within two weeks of launch, with DEX trading volume surpassing the Ethereum mainnet. ETH price rose approximately 15% during the same period, but whether L2 value feeds back to ETH remains controversial.
Flap, a token launch platform now live on the Robinhood Chain, has introduced a 2% purchase limit per wallet (based on total supply) during the bonding curve phase for tokens with no transaction tax. There is no purchase limit for token developers on their initial buy, and all selling is unrestricted. Once a token graduates, the 2% purchase cap will be lifted, allowing the token to trade normally on DEX.
Robinhood Chain, launched by Robinhood, attracted approximately $3.1 billion in decentralized exchange (DEX) trading volume in its first week after launch, becoming one of the top five blockchain networks by trading volume.
according to DeFiLlama data, since its launch, Robinhood Chain has attracted over $290 million in stablecoin inflows, with a TVL of $134 million, an RWA scale reaching $12 million, and cumulative DEX trading volume exceeding $4 billion.
