Robinhood Chain reached $250 million in total value locked (TVL) within 10 days of launch. Park Sang-hyuk, editor-in-chief of Digital Asset, explained on SamproTV on the 10th that major DeFi projects rapidly onboarded to Robinhood Chain while ecosystem memecoins attracted market attention. The rapid TVL growth reflects accelerating adoption of Robinhood's blockchain infrastructure by decentralized finance protocols.
DeFi Projects Onboard to Robinhood Chain
Major DeFi (decentralized finance) projects quickly onboarded to Robinhood Chain following its launch. Park stated that the combination of DeFi project integration and ecosystem memecoin market attention drove the blockchain's TVL past ₩378 billion (approximately $250 million) within 10 days. The term "memecoin" refers to cryptocurrencies based on internet memes or trending phrases.
CASHCAT Memecoin Surges 2000% in One Week
Robinhood Chain-based memecoin CASHCAT surged 2000% in one week, drawing market attention. Park noted that unlike Solana-based memecoin ANSEM, which recently surged, CASHCAT does not have a single wallet holding the majority of the coin supply. Some market observers suggest CASHCAT's price increase may continue due to this distribution characteristic. Investors who put in several million won have reportedly realized returns in the billions of won.
Expert Warns of Memecoin Price Volatility
Park cautioned that memecoin prices can drop suddenly because they react strongly to market sentiment rather than fundamentals. He pointed out that while some CASHCAT investors turned investments of several million won into returns exceeding 1 billion won, investors should note that memecoin prices are highly volatile and driven by sentiment rather than underlying value.
