first_img Robinhood Chain saw over 17% of tokenized stocks locked in Meme coin trading pairs, with 31% of the trading volume coming from Meme coin pairs

DeFiprime founder Nick Sawinyh analyzed that the Meme coin issuance platform on the Robinhood Chain is massively using tokenized stocks as paired assets. As of September 1, approximately 17.2% of the on-chain supply of 19 high liquidity Robinhood stock tokens is locked in 432 pools that use stock tokens as quoted assets, contributing 31.3% of the DEX trading volume of related stock tokens in the past 24 hours. The four issuance platforms Long, Bankr, Flap, and PAIR have set stock-paired Meme coins as default products.Among them, the AI/NVDA pool holds 8,783 NVDA (accounting for 16.2% of the total on-chain tokenized NVDA), with a 24-hour trading volume of about $6.2 million; the BONER/HIMS pool holds 37,172 HIMS (accounting for 50.4% of the total HIMS on the chain), with a trading volume of about $12.5 million. This mechanism has led to significant premiums for some tokenized stocks over the weekend (when issuers cannot issue more), with HIMS once trading at a premium of 112% compared to the NYSE closing price. The TVL of the Robinhood Chain has nearly doubled since August 1 to $740 million, with on-chain DEX daily trading volume reaching $1.49 billion on August 31. The analysis points out that 9 stock tokens have an on-chain circulating market value of less than $1.5 million, and a single Meme coin pool can absorb a large proportion of the circulating supply. This analysis is based on specific block snapshot data, with prices and pool balances changing rapidly.

first_img Fomo and Robinhood Wallet credit card purchases of Memecoin suspected of circumventing card organization crypto regulations

The Block's investigation shows that on the social trading app Fomo and Robinhood's self-custody wallet Robinhood Wallet, users can directly purchase Memecoin using credit cards via Apple Pay or Google Pay without completing a separate KYC identity verification. Transactions can also accumulate points or cash back rewards as normal credit card rewards. The media tested the purchase of WIF, and transactions on the Visa and Mastercard networks were classified under merchant category code MCC 5815 (digital goods media), rather than the cryptocurrency asset categories MCC 6012 or 6051 as stipulated by card organization rules, which typically come with crypto tags and do not earn rewards.These transactions are supported by the Token Checkout product from the crypto infrastructure company Crossmint. Crossmint insists that this classification is appropriate, citing the joint guidance released by the SEC and CFTC in March of this year, which views certain Memecoins like WIF as "digital collectibles." However, Chase stated that the Visa transaction was not marked as a cryptocurrency purchase and that the classification was incorrect, and they have initiated a case review with Visa; the New York Attorney General's office also stated that it is reviewing the matter. Vanderbilt University law professor Yesha Yadav and other payment experts believe that the SEC's position and card organization rules represent "two completely different systems."
