According to data from GMGN and DeFiLlama, as reported by BlockBeats on July 22, Robinhood Chain's cumulative DEX trading volume has exceeded $9 billion since its mainnet launch on July 1. In the last seven days alone, approximately $4.04 billion was traded, placing it among the top five blockchains in terms of trading volume and at one point surpassing ecosystems such as Polygon, Hyperliquid L1, and Arbitrum.

Robinhood Chain's trading volume has grown rapidly since its launch. While the DEX trading volume was less than $100 million in the first week, it surged significantly from July 8th, with daily trading volume exceeding $500 million multiple times. During this period, the on-chain meme asset CASHCAT attracted a large influx of speculative traffic. Currently, trading remains highly concentrated within the Uniswap ecosystem. Over the past 7 days, Uniswap V2/V3/V4 has contributed 96% of the on-chain trading volume.

Robinhood Chain is positioned as an Ethereum L2 based on the Arbitrum technology stack, targeting financial services and real-world assets. Its stock tokens can be traded through protocols such as Robinhood Wallet and Uniswap.

According to DeFiLlama data, the current DeFi TVL on this chain is approximately $305 million, the stablecoin market capitalization is approximately $439 million, and the active RWA market capitalization is approximately $64.22 million. Meme tokens such as CASHCAT still occupy the top trading positions, while stock tokens have not yet become the main source of transactions.

According to BlockBeats, on July 22, Bridgewater Associates founder Ray Dalio advised Elon Musk not to invest most of the money from the sale of PayPal in Mars exploration, but Musk responded at the time that "there is no need to do so."

In a recent podcast, Dalio recalled that he first met Musk in 2002 while researching personality types of entrepreneurs. He believes Musk belongs to the "shaper" type, meaning someone with a grand vision and a passion for turning ideas into reality.

According to Dalio, Musk received approximately $180 million after selling PayPal, and subsequently invested most of it in startups, including approximately $100 million in SpaceX, approximately $70 million in Tesla, and approximately $10 million in the solar energy company SolarCity.

Dalio said he had advised Musk to keep some cash as a safety net: "If things don't go well, at least you'll have some money left." But Musk responded, "No, I don't need to."

Dalio believes that Musk is not primarily driven by wealth accumulation, but rather focused on achieving long-term goals. One of SpaceX's current goals is to build a technological system that enables humanity to become a "multi-planetary species."

After SpaceX completed its largest IPO in history this summer and debuted on Nasdaq, investors were able to gain a deeper understanding of the company's strategy for the first time. The company stated in its prospectus that its mission is to "build the systems and technologies needed to make life possible on a multi-planetary planet."

Dalio also pointed out that the characteristic of "shapemakers" like Musk is that, on the one hand, they possess a grand strategic vision from thousands of meters above the ground, and on the other hand, they pay extreme attention to detail. He recalled that Musk had shown him details of Tesla vehicles and discussed specific ideas such as sending plant watering devices to Mars.

Currently, Mars exploration remains the core of SpaceX's long-term strategy, and Musk continues to bet on areas such as rockets, satellites, and artificial intelligence.
