According to Coindesk, Bernstein stated in a research report released on Monday that Robinhood's newly launched blockchain, Robinhood Chain, has performed strongly since its launch, quickly becoming one of the most active networks for decentralized trading.The report noted that since the mainnet went live on July 1, the DEX trading volume on Robinhood Chain reached $3.1 billion in the past week, ranking it among the top five chains by DEX activity. Currently, over 65,000 users hold approximately $13 million in tokenized stocks and $300 million in stablecoins on the chain.Bernstein believes that the early adoption of Robinhood Chain highlights the accelerated integration of tokenized real-world assets with the broader DeFi ecosystem. The network is built on Arbitrum, an Ethereum Layer 2, supporting Robinhood's tokenized stock products, providing 24/7 trading, self-custody, as well as on-chain use cases such as lending and collateralization, and has integrated with partners like Uniswap, Morpho, Lighter, Chainlink, and BitGo.The report also stated that although the current early trading volume is primarily driven by meme coins, Robinhood is expected to focus more on tokenized stocks, commodities, and other RWA assets, as well as perpetual contract business in the future.

According to Blockaid monitoring, the Lumi Finance protocol on Arbitrum is currently under attack, with approximately $270,000 in funds having been transferred out.

According to a report by Decrypt, Robinhood Chain quickly became one of the most active public chains in the crypto market just one week after its launch.Official data shows that Robinhood Chain processed over 17 million transactions in its first week, with nearly 350,000 active addresses and a protocol TVL of approximately $250 million. The cumulative trading volume on the DEX surpassed $1 billion. On Wednesday, the single-day trading volume reached $568 million, with a 24-hour DEX trading volume of about $433 million, surpassing Hyperliquid and ranking fifth in the entire network.Driven by the explosive growth of the ecosystem, Meme coins on Robinhood Chain performed strongly, with Cash Cat's market capitalization exceeding $180 million, and tokens like Dog In Hood, Hoodrat, and Robinhood Summer seeing increases of several times or even dozens of times. Reports indicate that some traders turned $800 into over $1 million, while another user increased $85 to $2 million.As the underlying technology provider for Robinhood Chain, Arbitrum (ARB) has benefited significantly, with ARB rising about 20% on the day. According to the mechanism, Robinhood Chain will return 10% of the protocol's net income to the Arbitrum ecosystem.However, the report points out that currently, the activity of Robinhood Chain is still mainly driven by Meme coins, and whether it can smoothly transition to RWA and other application scenarios planned by Robinhood in the long term remains to be seen.

Offchain Labs co-founder Steven Goldfeder posted on the X platform that as enterprise adoption accelerates, Arbitrum is ready to capture revenue. 10% of the fees collected by Robinhood Chain and all other Arbitrum L2s will flow into the Arbitrum ecosystem—8% will go into a treasury controlled by token holders, and 2% will be used to fund development.100% of the fees collected on Arbitrum One will be allocated to the Arbitrum treasury. According to previous reports, Robinhood Chain is an Ethereum Layer 2 network built on the Arbitrum tech stack.

According to official news, the privacy public chain Secret Network announced that it will migrate to the Arbitrum ecosystem, and the SCRT token will be converted to an ERC-20 token on Arbitrum. The migration is scheduled for a snapshot on September 1, 2026. Native SCRT and staked SCRT will be automatically migrated, but sSCRT, SCRT in contracts or liquidity pools, SCRT cross-chain to other chains, and IBC bridge tokens are not included in the migration scope and must be converted to native or staked status before September 1.After the migration, SCRT will still be a governance token, and the team proposes to reduce the inflation rate from 9% to 5%. After the migration is completed, SCRT Labs will stop maintaining Secret Network and open source all code. This proposal needs to be voted on by community governance. Coingecko data shows that the SCRT token is currently priced at $0.03965, with a 24-hour decline of 30.7%.

The on-chain spot exchange Rialto has announced its departure from stealth mode and is officially live. The platform is powered by PropAMM (proprietary automated market maker) and focuses on the integration of cryptocurrency and traditional finance, having collaborated closely with Robinhood Crypto, Offchain Labs, and Arbitrum over the past year.It is reported that Rialto is built on top of Robinhood Chain and Arbitrum, breaking the traditional market time constraints and supporting 24/7 trading of cryptocurrency spot, stock tokens, ETFs, commodities, and Pre-IPO assets. Users can self-custody equity tokens and use them directly as collateral for third-party lending. Currently, the platform is running its own PropAMM "Rivo Altus" to provide foundational liquidity, with over 90 Robinhood tokenized stocks and mainstream crypto assets already launched in the initial phase.

According to reports, LG Electronics has chosen the Ethereum Layer 2 network Arbitrum to develop a new blockchain to support advertising and media-related scenarios. Following the announcement, Arbitrum's native token ARB rose more than 5% in a single day. The network will be used for the delivery, purchase, sale, and management of digital advertising, and will record user interactions with advertising content.Arbitrum is developed by Offchain Labs and uses Optimistic Rollup technology, aiming to provide a faster and lower-cost transaction experience for Ethereum. This is not LG's first foray into blockchain. Previously, LG launched the enterprise-level blockchain Monachain through its IT services division LG CNS and developed the crypto wallet Wallypto; it also launched the Art Lab NFT marketplace, but that platform was shut down last year.

According to official news, the Arbitrum Foundation has initiated a new round of funding requests to the Arbitrum DAO, planning to obtain 16 million US dollars in stablecoins, 1,740 ETH, and 230 million ARB, with a total value of approximately 43.5 million US dollars.The funds raised this time will be specifically used for the foundation's operational work in 2027, covering areas such as technical infrastructure, ecosystem development, marketing promotion, and governance services. The ARB tokens requested in this application account for 3.7% of the total supply. In comparison, the Arbitrum DAO's total revenue for the year 2025 is approximately 23.49 million US dollars. Currently, this funding proposal is still in the community governance discussion stage.

According to CoinDesk, the U.S. law firm Charles Gerstein has filed a petition in the Manhattan federal court, requesting an order for Tether to transfer over $344 million of frozen USDT to victims holding judgments against Iran for unpaid terrorism claims. These USDT were previously frozen by Tether after the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control identified the related Tron wallets as belonging to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran.The plaintiffs argue that since OFAC has designated the relevant wallets as owned by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, and Tether has frozen the related tokens, Tether can fully reissue an equivalent amount of USDT to a wallet controlled by the victims' attorney. This case is part of a broader legal strategy by Charles Gerstein aimed at leveraging the ability of crypto platforms to freeze and transfer digital assets to enforce terrorism-related judgments. Unlike the Arbitrum case involving North Korean-linked hacker funds, in this case, OFAC has clearly designated the relevant wallets as owned

Arbitrum official announcement, the x402 protocol under Coinbase is now live on the Arbitrum network, allowing developers to enable AI agents to directly use stablecoins to pay for APIs, services, and software fees. The x402 protocol is named after the unused HTTP 402 "Payment Required" status code, which allows websites, APIs, and AI bots to request and receive instant micropayments through blockchain and traditional payment channels.The protocol is managed as an open standard by the x402 Foundation under the Linux Foundation and has the support of over 20 institutions and crypto companies, including Cloudflare, Stripe, AWS, Google, Visa, Base, Circle, and the Solana Foundation.

Aave stated that the first steps of the rsETH technical recovery plan have been completed, which includes the destruction of the rsETH held by the attacker on Arbitrum. In the coming days, stakeholders will gradually replenish funds to the LayerZero OFT adapter and restart rsETH-related operations in phases.Kelp previously stated that it has completed a series of rsETH endorsement recovery steps with Aave, planning to gradually inject 117,132 rsETH from the Aave Recovery Guardian and Kelp Recovery Safe into the LayerZero OFT adapter on the Ethereum mainnet.

According to official news, based on the update from the Arbitrum DAO proposal, a judgment creditor in an unrelated case served a restraining order to Arbitrum DAO regarding the ETH frozen after the rsETH incident. A few days later, Aave LLC filed an emergency motion to vacate. The court modified the restraining order, allowing for on-chain Arbitrum voting and transferring the frozen ETH to Aave LLC.After the transfer, the restraining order will attach to Aave LLC. The revised constitutional AIP retains the asset recovery intent approved by Arbitrum DAO, and ETH will still be used for the recovery of the rsETH incident. Aave LLC will comply with all court obligations during the litigation process.

Renegade posted on platform X that a legacy V1 version of the protocol was attacked earlier this morning, resulting in a loss of approximately $209,000. White hat hackers have returned about $190,000, and all affected users will receive full compensation.The team confirmed that the issue only exists in the V1 Arbitrum deployment, and other deployments (V1 Base, V2 Arbitrum, V2 Base) are safe. All infrastructure supporting V1 Arbitrum transactions has been suspended, with no further risk to funds, and integrators do not need to take any action.

U.S. Manhattan Federal Court Judge Margaret Garnett approved Aave's asset recovery plan following the rsETH attack incident, allowing approximately $71 million in ETH that had previously been frozen on Arbitrum to be transferred to a wallet controlled by Aave.Court documents show that this decision modifies a prior injunction against the Arbitrum DAO, allowing the community to complete the ETH transfer through on-chain governance voting, while exempting participants in the voting and execution of the transfer from related legal liabilities. This incident stems from the rsETH attack that occurred in April, which has been widely attributed to the Lazarus Group, linked to North Korea. Previously, lawyers representing the families of North Korean terrorism victims had sought to freeze the related assets and attempted to include them in the compensation for an outstanding judgment of approximately $877 million.The Arbitrum community has shown strong support in a Snapshot temperature check vote for returning the frozen ETH to Aave's recovery plan, but the actual transfer still requires formal approval through on-chain governance. Reports indicate that this case is also part of the U.S. plaintiffs' efforts to recover crypto assets associated with North Korea. In addition to Arbitrum, the plaintiffs had previously sued the privacy protocol Railgun DAO and listed Digital Currency Group (DCG) as one of the defendants, accusing it of participating in related governance and economic activities.

The Arbitrum DAO vote approved the proposal to release the frozen ETH, with a support rate of 90.96%. The proposal includes a request for Arbitrum governance to approve the release of 30,765.67 ETH frozen by the Arbitrum Security Committee on April 21, and to transfer the funds into a 3/4 multi-signature wallet jointly controlled by Aave Labs, KelpDAO, EtherFi, and Certora. This address will be specifically used for recovery work after receiving the ETH frozen by Arbitrum.
