Robinhood's talks with T. Rowe Price point tokenized stock wrappers toward active funds

Robinhood is exploring a Stock Token with T. Rowe Price, the $1.9 trillion asset manager, that would track an actively managed ETF. It would be Robinhood's first token on a fund whose holdings a manager picks, and board approval, regulatory clearance and filings still stand between the talks and anything an allocator can buy.

Arbitrum backs Paxos's USDG to collect a share of stablecoin reserve income

Arbitrum joined Paxos's Global Dollar Network to share USDG reserve income, with a DAO proposal to add 100 million ARB in incentives. It takes no direct cut of the USDC that is about 60% of its $3.8 billion in stablecoins, so the payoff depends on USDG winning that float.

Robinhood Wallet adds Arcus, which has logged $5 billion in spot and perpetual trading volume

Robinhood Wallet now routes Stock Token swaps through Arcus, a dYdX-team exchange reporting more than $5 billion of volume since its July 1 launch. That total also counts perpetuals still in beta, so the spot demand Robinhood is connecting to is smaller than the headline figure, by an amount nobody has published.

Solana and Robinhood Chain take nearly half of onchain app revenue in 2026's best month

Solana and Robinhood Chain took 49% of the $467.66 million onchain apps earned in September, the best month of 2026 in DefiLlama's data. Memecoin launchpads account for Solana's share, but Robinhood Chain's near-tripling has no reported source, so one month cannot show fees settling there.

Crypto apps generated $3.3 billion in fees in the third quarter, $1.44 billion of it in September, led by Solana and Robinhood Chain launchpads. The fee-sharing tokens behind the jump were fading by month-end, so October's total will show how much of that cash repeats.

Token Terminal data shows tokenized stocks deposited in DeFi protocols reached $262.4 million, nearly 18 times January's $14.66 million. About half of that total built up in September alone, which is too recent to show whether the deposits will stay.

Pons's creator-chosen tax waivers let one crew net $15.5 million from 56 Robinhood Chain launches

Bitquery tied 56 Robinhood Chain memecoin launches to one crew that netted about $15.5 million through wallets exempt from the Pons launchpad's snipe tax. Another 467 clusters ran the same play for a possible $11.6 million, so the weakness is in the venue's rules even though most of the money went to one group.
