Robinhood Chain processes 600M transactions with under $50K spent on Ethereum settlement

  • On September 3, users paid $4.5M in fees while Ethereum costs were $396
  • 30-day DEX volume was $38.8B, with Uniswap contributing $32.6B
  • TVL grew from zero in July to nearly $1B by September
  • Network fees fell 97% to $230K while transactions declined only 32%
Why it matters: Rising L2 activity does not convert into Ethereum revenue, calling into question the economics of the rollup model for ETH holders.
