Why Robinhood Chain‘s $34B Engine Outpaces Arc’s Explosive Debut

I went into comparing Robinhood Chainand Arcexpecting a straightforward “new chain beats old chain” story.　　What I actually found, once I pulled the day-one numbers for both networks side by side, is a much more interesting lesson about what “day one” even means for a blockchain launch.　　These are two of the most-watched Layer 1 and Layer 2 debuts of 2026, both pitched around institutional finance and real-world assets, and both immediately got hijacked by memecoin trading within hours. But the scale of that hijacking, and the reasons behind it, look nothing alike once you actually check the data.　　Two Launches, Two Very Different Opening Days　　Circle‘s Arc mainnet went live on September 16, 2026, as a Layer 1 network purpose-built for financial applications, with transaction fees paid directly in USDC and founding validators drawn from traditional finance, including BlackRock, Visa, and Mastercard. Robinhood Chain launched roughly ten weeks earlier, on July 1, 2026, as an Arbitrum-based Layer 2 pitched around tokenized real-world assets and 24/7 trading, unveiled at Robinhood’s “The World Is Flat” event in London. Both networks are tracked live on DefiLlama, with Arc‘s chain page and Robinhood Chain’s DEX volume page both publicly available for anyone who wants to check the

Tezos up 30%, hits 4-month high after post-quantum code goes live — What next？

Tezos may be finally waking up thanks to the broader markets bullishness. Especially after Tezos closed with higher highs for two consecutive days, breaking above its descending resistance trendline.　　In doing so, the altcoin rallied from $0.24, flipped its $0.3 resistance, and hit a high of $0.38 for the first time since May.　　At the time of writing, Tezos was trading at around $0.34 following a 30% surge on the daily charts. Over the same period, the altcoins trading volume skyrocketed by 878% to $68 million. This may be evidence of high market activity and steady capital flows.　　Tezoss post-quantum code goes live　　Besides the improvement in market sentiment, Tezos [XTZ] pumped in part due to a recent ecosystem development. According to Tezos commons, XTZs post-quantum code has now gone live.　　The post-quantum resilient DAL shownet is an experimental network with 12 bakers and 14 DAL nodes. Roomsburg noted that this moves post-quantum work into a live test for Tezos builders. The shownet will replace quantum vulnerable KZG polynomial commitment. The shift will enable developers to test infrastructure through RPC endpoints.　　However, Roomsburg also stated that with the shownet now running, the real test will be whether it holds up.　　On the flip side, this development also

Gen Z are investing like Boomers

Like fashion, investing eventually finds something embarrassing in the back of the wardrobe and puts it on again. Millennial-era crypto gave us yield-bearing dog coins and all kinds of food-themed financial contraptions. Now Gen Z has entered the market in JNCO jeans, carrying an ironic digicam and, in at least one corner of the market, displaying a positively parental interest in conventional investments.　　The jeans are super low again, and apparently their tolerance for portfolio risk is, too.　　Binance Research‘s Aug. 12 report looked at how different generations use the exchange’s direct equities, tokenized bStocks, and TradFi perpetuals. The youngest users werent the ones constantly reaching for leverage or flipping positions. Across all three products, Gen Z was the lowest-turnover working-age cohort. The findings cover Binance users over a short period; its direct-equity product only reached scale in June 2026.　　The most traditional-est, conservativ-est, unimaginativest portfolios in crypto, believe it or not, may belong to zoomers.　　A rebellion with an expense ratio　　The easiest place to see the difference is in ETFs.　　ETFs accounted for 25% of Gen Zs direct-equity trading volume in the first days of August, up from 14.6% in June. Millennials were at just 9.5% in early August, which means the younger group

Bitcoin Owner Turns $324 Stack Into $8 Million After Nearly 15 Years – Bitcoin News

Key TakeawaysTwo old bitcoin holders woke up Saturday, moving 200 BTC worth more than $16 million combined.Bitcoins 2011 holder watched roughly $324 grow into $8 million, a paper gain topping 2.46 million%.Bitgo received the 2013 miners 100 BTC, but whether those coins are headed for sale remains unknown.　　Bitcoin From 2011 and 2013 Suddenly Stirs　　September has logged a slew of unique sleeping bitcoin wallets from ancient days, and Sept. 19 was no different. Before the 2011 wallet, a distinct group of four legacy Pay-to-Public-Key-Hash (P2PKH) wallets shifted 25 BTC each. All four transfers were confirmed at block height 967722.　　All the wallets were either first created in February or March 2013. Bitcoin prices were all over the place during those two months, and the Cyprus banking crisis reached its absolute peak in March. On March 1, bitcoin traded for $32 per coin, and by the 31st of that same month in 2013, it was trading for $91.95. Market data shows that these four P2PKH addresses paid very little for the 100 BTC.　　Then, ten blocks later, at block 967732, an even older wallet moved 100 BTC from an address born on Nov. 2, 2011. This was a single transaction, and the 100 BTC

WIF price prediction — Here's why a pullback may be next despite 13% hike

As capital rotated into Solana memecoins over the last 24 hours, dogwifhat [WIF] recorded daily gains of 13.14% on the price charts. The timing here is interesting, especially since the Solana memecoin sector also gained by nearly 6%.　　WIF benefited greatly from this rotation as its trading volume jumped by 95.16% to $105.8 million over the same period.　　What does this mean though？ Well, this might just be evidence of traders developing an appetite for higher-risk ecosystem tokens.　　Worth pointing out, however, that the sharp increase in participation did meet some resistance. Hence, the question: Is the rally sustainable？　　WIFs rebound runs into familiar hurdle　　On the daily chart, dogwifhat [WIF] rebounded from the $0.1758-region towards $0.2157, but buyers failed to push through this resistance. Notably, the barrier capped previous recovery attempts, making another price rejection significant for the short-term structure.　　More importantly, the RSI indicator formed a bearish convergence around the 62.85-zone as the price met rejection.　　Notably, each recent RSI approach towards this threshold zone aligned with WIF hitting the upper range, before a subsequent price retreat.　　At the time of writing, the RSI stood at 58.82, after retreating from the higher 62.85-zone. The repeated convergence between the indicators RSI resistance and price pullbacks could strengthen

Why Trump backed a crypto ethics rule that stopped at the family business

Washington came surprisingly close this week to writing a dollar amount into one of its thorniest crypto ethics rule debates.　　Under the final Senate draft of the CLARITY Act, senior federal officials holding equity worth at least $15,000 in certain businesses that issue or sponsor digital assets would have had to sell that interest or place it into a qualified blind trust. Their spouses would have faced the same restriction, but their adult children wouldnt.　　The bill failed to advance on Sept. 15, so none of this became law. But the language is revealing because CLARITY was primarily supposed to establish who regulates crypto markets and under what rules. By the end of the negotiations, Congress was also trying to decide where a government official‘s crypto fortune ends and the family’s begins. Republicans said the final draft incorporated most of a bipartisan ethics proposal and dozens of changes requested by Democrats, while several Democrats still argued that the protections didnt go far enough.　　Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick shows why those distinctions matter in real life.　　Lutnick spent decades running Cantor Fitzgerald, one of Wall Street‘s major trading and investment firms, before joining President Donald Trump’s Cabinet in February 2025. Cantor also became deeply embedded
