Robinhood Chain keeps $1 billion in deposits as daily transactions fall 42%

Robinhood Chain's daily transactions have fallen more than 40% since mid-September, barely three months after the network went live. Robinhood paid customers' swap fees through the whole slide, so the money users still keep parked on the chain is the better test of it.

Robinhood's margin loans more than quadruple in two years to $21.6 billion

Robinhood's margin book hit a record $21.6 billion in the second quarter, up 127% from a year earlier, CNBC reported. Retail leverage is growing fast, and whether it can set off forced selling in a drawdown depends on how bunched those loans are in single stocks.

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.

Bitcoin with exposed public keys grows 3.5 times faster than new supply

Glassnode's Rafael Schultze-Kraft counts 31.2% of circulating Bitcoin behind exposed public keys, up 222,000 BTC since May while supply grew 64,000 BTC. Exchanges supplied most of that rise, and a venue can cut its share by moving reserves to fresh addresses.
