Robinhood's on-chain stock meme coin issuance platform Long.xyz founder Nate stated that after the launch of the new Pre-IPO feature, the platform has added approximately 10,000 asset issuance projects.Nate estimates that without token code locking and client issuance quantity limits, the platform's daily issuance could reach 100,000, at which point the platform may be more utilized by bots, making it difficult for ordinary users to filter through the large number of new assets, potentially further fueling FOMO trading, chasing volume, and data inflation.Nate indicated that LONG will continuously adjust issuance limits based on demand changes and plans to add an asset discovery filter to help users filter projects based on parameters such as whale holding ratios, asset longevity, and antifragility, while aggregating liquidity and capital flow to assets that perform well and have uniqueness within the ecosystem.The team is currently monitoring suspicious activities across all trading pairs and has not identified any major issues, but is prepared with new risk control parameters. If it is found that price manipulation behavior is due to coordinated actions rather than natural market activities, the team can quickly implement relevant restrictions.

According to on-chain analyst Ai Yi's monitoring, Donut AI CEO and founder Chris recently disclosed his on-chain investment portfolio and trading strategies, involving multiple tokens such as PUMP, PONS, AI, BONER, and STONK.Chris has held PUMP for several months, with total profits exceeding $936,000; in the past 30 days, he participated in trading popular tokens on Robinhood Chain, earning over $130,000, during which he exited when PONS had a market cap of about $600 million.In addition, Chris established a position in STONK when its market cap was around $89 million, currently showing an unrealized profit of about $180,000, with a return rate exceeding 170%. Regarding the differences between Robinhood Chain and Solana, Chris believes that the former currently relies more on the influx of new retail investor funds, while Solana has a much larger amount of on-chain capital, thus he is more optimistic about the long-term development of Solana's tokenized stock ecosystem.

Honeypot Finance founder and early investor in RootsFi, Wilson, stated that Pons reached an annualized revenue speed of 100 million dollars within two months, ranking first on related lists. Wilson reflected on his experience meeting Ozzy at Berachain and investing in RootsFi, stating that Ozzy's sincerity, technical ability, and resilience were the reasons for early support.Wilson indicated that Pons is built on the Robinhood Chain, and its V2 design allows new tokens to trade on a bonding curve first, and after meeting conditions, enter the permanently locked liquidity Uniswap V4 pool, with the priced assets being either native ETH or ERC-20 approved by Pons. He believes this mechanism creates a convergence point for meme culture and stock tokens, and stated that he will continue to support Ozzy, optimistic about Pons's future development on the Robinhood Chain.

According to GMGN data, influenced by the attention of a16z co-founder Marc Andreessen on related accounts, the market capitalization of Robinhood Meme Coin FLYBRAIN briefly surged past 30 million dollars, with an intraday increase of over 670 times, currently reported at 29.3 million dollars.According to market news, Meme Coin prices are highly volatile and easily affected by celebrity attention and market sentiment, please be aware of trading risks.

Aave founder Stani Kulechov stated that he has submitted comments to the UK HM Revenue and Customs, suggesting improvements to the tax positioning of cryptocurrency collateralized loans and stablecoins.At the same time, he advocates for allowing stablecoins to be included in UK Individual Savings Accounts (ISA) in the future, giving stablecoin lending users the opportunity to enjoy relevant tax benefits.

The founder and CEO of the Hong Kong-listed company Mech-Mind, Shao Tianlan, posted on social media, questioning some embodied intelligence companies that create false and unsustainable revenue through data collection centers and related transactions with local governments, investors, and suppliers to promote their listings. Mech-Mind mainly provides products such as robotic 3D vision and AI software, applied in industrial manufacturing, logistics, and other scenarios. He referred to these companies as "gathering-type" embodied intelligence companies, mentioning that they include some well-known and highly valued companies from Beijing and Shanghai that have appeared on the Spring Festival Gala, and criticized this practice as illegal, unethical, and unwise.Shao Tianlan stated that generating revenue in this way could harm investors and place an increasingly heavy growth burden on the companies. After achieving such revenue this year, they would need to continue to do so next year and do even more, potentially falling into a vortex of continuous fraud and bleeding. He specifically named Galaxy Universal in the comments section and inquired whether there was support from Beijing city leaders for the company's listing.

Since this week, the on-chain market driven by Robinhood has temporarily cooled down, with mainstream cryptocurrencies experiencing a pullback. The market is pinning its hopes for the next round of activity on the Arc Chain, which will launch on September 16.Arc Chain, developed by the stablecoin issuer Circle, is an open blockchain network primarily aimed at institutional users. There are differing opinions in the market regarding whether it will support the crypto-native meme coin culture. Platforms such as OpenSea and fomo have announced that they will support Arc Chain as soon as possible. In response to the fomo launch announcement, Circle co-founder Jeremy Allaire has made a positive statement.

According to BeInCrypto, Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko posted on the X platform that he hopes to establish a giant routing on the mainstream trading aggregator Jupiter, converting tokenized Nvidia stocks into tokenized SpaceX (SPCX) via Fartcoin, and believes that this routing will become the national best bid and offer (NBBO) reference price for all brokers in the United States.Yakovenko pointed out that the Jupiter aggregator automatically selects the lowest-cost trading path, and meme coin pools typically have the deepest liquidity on the network, so the router may complete part of the stock trades through Fartcoin.

Pons founder and lead developer Ozzy responded on September 9, stating that modifying the tax rate after the token launch is not supported, and the claim that "Pons can adjust the tax rate after launch" is incorrect.Ozzy indicated that the initialized Uniswap V4 pool for Pons has a 0% tax rate and a 1% Hook fee, which is clearly disclosed in all transactions. Some terminals incorrectly routed buy and sell orders to high tax liquidity pools due to router configuration issues, including vampire pools created by malicious actors, resulting in abnormally high tax rates displayed, which is not a modification of the tax rate after Pons' launch.Ozzy has requested the relevant terminals to correct the erroneous routing and stated that if users see a tax rate higher than 1%, unless the deployer set a higher tax rate at launch, it is likely routed to the wrong pool.

Imran Khan, co-founder of Alliance, stated that Coinbase founder Brian Armstrong and Robinhood co-founder Vlad Tenev are leveraging their respective backgrounds to carve out different tracks in the cryptocurrency market.Vlad has built Robinhood into a platform centered around retail trading, deeply understanding the psychology and trading motivations of high-risk tolerant retail investors, which will give him an advantage in controlling retail speculation and trading in the future; while Brian has dedicated the past decade to popularizing Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency value system, deeply rooted in the Silicon Valley tech startup ecosystem, which determines that Coinbase and Base are more inclined to build underlying financial infrastructure aimed at changing the real world.Imran believes that although there is overlap in their businesses, the market space is large enough, and one party's activity in speculative trading does not mean the other party will fail. Both will lead millions of new users into the on-chain world from completely different entry points.

The Rollup founder Andy posted that market rumors suggest the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is preparing to launch the largest tokenization innovation exemption policy to date, which may allow tokenized securities to be traded solely through registered transfer agents, without the need for broker-dealer licenses, and without adhering to traditional trading platform or ATS-related rules. It is also reported that this could cover U.S. retail investors and overseas investors.Andy stated that if the above news is true, its potential impact would be significant. Tokenized funds could be issued and traded directly in the form of on-chain tokens, with transfer agents maintaining legal ownership records on-chain, while the underlying assets held by the fund, such as stocks and bonds, could also be further tokenized, thus forming an on-chain trading system of "fund tokens + underlying asset tokens."Andy later mentioned that a large fund has already received the SEC's "green light," but this has not yet been officially confirmed. He speculated that ARK, Fidelity, or BlackRock could be potential participants. If the policy is ultimately implemented, U.S. asset management firms may accelerate the issuance of native equity tokens to compete for around-the-clock liquidity and on-chain distribution channels, rather than waiting for third parties to mirror tokenize traditional securities. He further linked this potential policy change to the recent push by the Trump administration for regulatory openness in the crypto market, as well as the CFTC's efforts to bring perpetual contracts to the U.S. market, believing that the U.S. regulatory environment may be gradually opening the policy floodgates for on-chain finance.

Liquid Capital founder Yi Lihua stated that, reflecting on his observations since entering the cryptocurrency industry at the end of 2015, the choice of direction is crucial aside from personal efforts. He believes that the groups that can achieve long-term results more easily in the cryptocurrency industry mainly include three categories.One category is the holders of BTC / ETH / BNB, including mining, holding coins, and mining pools, which is a time compound interest return. Another category is those involved in trading infrastructure, including quantitative arbitrage, trading platforms, and stablecoins. The last category is projects and market makers, which belong to asset issuance and asset control.Yi Lihua also mentioned that investors and contract players overall experience more failures than successes; the model is similar to that of hunters, where one must go out to hunt every day to have something to eat, with low compound returns amidst high risks.

F2Pool co-founder Wang Chun (@satofishi) pointed out that the current rise of Zcash is essentially a narrative-driven speculative behavior, rather than being supported by actual value. He listed several core issues: in terms of unfair distribution, 20% of the block rewards in the first four years were allocated as "founder's rewards" to founders, employees, advisors, and early investors, totaling 2.1 million ZEC, which accounts for 10% of the total supply cap. This was followed by a similar percentage taken under the name of a "development fund"; regarding privacy mechanisms, the privacy feature is optional rather than a default setting, and most tokens circulate in transparent addresses for a long time, criticized as a "marketing gimmick."In terms of governance, the Electric Coin Company (ECC) has long-standing management conflicts with the foundation, and in January 2026, the ECC team collectively left, claiming they were expelled. In terms of security, in May 2026, it was disclosed that the Orchard privacy pool had a serious vulnerability for four years, theoretically allowing the forgery of ZEC without on-chain traces. In July, the old pool was urgently closed and forced migration occurred, which was seen as a remedial action rather than a positive development. Wang Chun believes that Zcash being listed alongside Solana and Hyperliquid in market capitalization does not represent that it has the same actual application value; the current price reflects more of a "narrative short squeeze" rather than the network's fundamentals.

F2Pool co-founder Wang Chun (@satofishi) stated that six years ago, he banned all members of the Zcash team due to their continuous confusion between EST and EDT time zones, believing that the team lacked basic principles of understanding. He mentioned that this decision remains one of his most correct choices to this day.Wang Chun cited the BlockFi incident as an analogy—BlockFi mistakenly sent 701.4 BTC instead of the 701.4 USD that should have been sent to users, pointing out that "those who can't even distinguish between EDT and EST are likely to confuse BTC and USD."

According to a report by the Korean News Agency, Matthew Dawson, co-founder of Ethereum Institutional, visited South Korea for the first time and held meetings with local major banks, securities companies, asset management firms, and exchanges to establish cooperative relationships. Dawson stated that South Korea has strong financial institutions and a developer community capable of fully utilizing blockchain infrastructure, and pointed out that the recent policy direction on token securities released by the Financial Services Commission (FSC) provides a good opportunity for cooperation.He anticipates that South Korean institutions, which currently start with private chains, will eventually upgrade to public blockchains, and emphasized that Ethereum, with its security, liquidity, and neutrality, is the ideal infrastructure for carrying core institutional assets. In terms of organizational expansion, Ethereum Institutional plans to introduce a head of Asia within 6 to 7 weeks and recruit technical, business, and consulting talent in Hong Kong, South Korea, and Japan.

Co-founder of Arbitrum Steven Goldfeder and co-founder of Solana Toly engaged in a debate over on-chain transaction fees, MEV protection, and the single sequencer model.Steven stated that one cannot simply compare surface-level fees. Arbitrum One and Robinhood Chain actively prevent front-running and most harmful MEV, while some chains that claim lower fees have higher MEV costs, including front-running against retail investors. He expressed a preference for paying clear fees upfront rather than incurring hidden losses from front-running, sandwich attacks, and other issues for the sake of lower fees.Toly countered that Arbitrum currently has a less favorable bid-ask spread and higher fees. The 10% cut taken from transaction fees alone translates to a cost in basis points that exceeds the loss rate from sandwich attacks, which he estimates to be about 10 times that of the latter, not accounting for the impact of the spread. He emphasized, "A single sequencer that pursues shareholder value maximization can never outperform permissionless competition."

Arbitrum co-founder Steven Goldfeder stated that there is a misunderstanding in the market regarding the supply of ARB, often including the tokens held by the DAO in the locked supply.He pointed out that the token unlock for ARB investors and team members is nearing completion and will be fully unlocked by March next year. Currently, the portion of tokens that have not yet been unlocked accounts for approximately 7.7% of the total supply.The Arbitrum DAO treasury currently holds 2.84 billion ARB, but these tokens are not traditional locked tokens; they are controlled by circulating token holders, and their transfer must be approved by a vote from other token holders.

The founder of Arbitrum, Steven Goldfeder, and Solana co-founder, Toly, engaged in a debate over the fee model of Robinhood Chain. Toly claimed that the 10% revenue share paid to Arbitrum by Robinhood Chain is sufficient to cover four times the transaction fees on the Solana chain, suggesting that if deployed on Solana, user gas fees could significantly decrease. In response, Goldfeder stated that Robinhood could retain about 90% of gas revenue under the Arbitrum architecture, thus choosing Arbitrum to "be the landlord, not the tenant."Toly countered that Robinhood could charge fees at the application front end while utilizing a lower-cost underlying network; Goldfeder, however, indicated that a large amount of on-chain activity does not go through the Robinhood front end, and if it were merely a "tenant" of the underlying network, Robinhood would not be able to capture the revenue generated from these peripheral activities.According to market news, Robinhood evaluated both Solana and Arbitrum during the product initiation phase and ultimately chose Arbitrum, which allows for independent chain deployment.
