Robinhood Chain User Profile Revealed: 492K Addresses Onboarded, Only 1.7% Interact with DeFi

According to Odaily, Robinhood Chain added 492,793 new addresses within 11 days of launch, yet only 1.7% interacted with major DeFi protocols, well below the historical minimum benchmark of 20.6%. Over the past week, activity has been concentrated on hood.fun and Uniswap, while Morpho recorded zero active wallets. The median wallet balance is only $8.20, with just 112 addresses accounting for nearly half of all trading volume. The data suggests the network has successfully attracted real users, but activity remains largely concentrated in Memecoin trading rather than broader DeFi adoption.

South Korea Plans to Integrate Digital Assets into National Asset Management and Pilot Tokenized Government Bonds in 2027

According to Odaily, South Korea's Ministry of Economy and Finance plans to revise the National Assets Framework Act to include digital assets and intellectual property within the definition of national assets. The government intends to pilot blockchain-based tokenized government bonds in 2027 while studying interoperability with the Bank of Korea's CBDC infrastructure and other blockchain networks. Tokenization of state-owned real estate is also under consideration. Amendments to securities regulations will take effect on February 4, 2027, legally recognizing blockchain ledgers as valid securities registries.

ADI Chain Raises $50 Million with Participation from IHC

According to Odaily, ADI Chain has completed a $50 million funding round with participation from IHC. The proceeds will support stablecoin settlement infrastructure and financial services development. ADI Chain's ecosystem focuses on compliant stablecoins, tokenized securities, institutional payments, crypto wallets, and integrations with infrastructure providers including Chainlink and ZKsync. The platform aims to bridge traditional finance and blockchain by providing settlement infrastructure for compliant digital asset applications.

Uniswap Proposes Activating Protocol Fees and UNI Burn Mechanism on Robinhood Chain

According to Odaily, Uniswap has submitted a governance proposal to enable protocol fee collection and UNI token burning on Robinhood Chain across Uniswap v2, v3, and v4. Under the proposal, all protocol fees generated on the chain would accumulate in the TokenJar contract. Searchers would be able to bridge UNI back to Ethereum and burn the tokens in exchange for accumulated protocol fees. If approved, the proposal would directly connect Robinhood Chain's protocol revenue with UNI's deflationary mechanism.

Cyclops Raises $20 Million to Expand Stablecoin Payment Settlement Infrastructure

According to Fortune, payment infrastructure startup Cyclops has secured $20 million in funding to help payment providers leverage stablecoins for faster settlement. The company focuses on cross-border payments and traditional payment workflows, using stablecoins to improve capital efficiency and reduce settlement costs. The investment highlights growing enterprise adoption of stablecoins beyond trading and retail transfers into institutional payment infrastructure.

BlackRock's AUM Reaches $15.3 Trillion; Files Registration for Tokenized Money Market Funds

According to Odaily, BlackRock reported second-quarter revenue of $7.1 billion, up 31% year-over-year, while adjusted operating income rose 39% to $2.9 billion. Assets under management reached $15.3 trillion. The firm has filed two SEC registration statements for tokenized money market funds, covering Ethereum-based tokenized share classes and digital-native investment strategies. BlackRock currently manages approximately $110 billion in digital assets and roughly $60 billion of Circle reserves, while IBIT, Ethereum Trust, and BUIDL remain the largest products in their respective categories.

Combined Trading Volume of SK Hynix and SK Hynix ADR Surpasses Total Volume on Lighter

According to Odaily, HyperliquidNews reported that the combined trading volume of SK Hynix shares and SK Hynix ADR on trade.xyz has exceeded the total trading volume recorded by Lighter. Although listed on different exchanges, both assets represent the same company. The data demonstrates increasing demand for tokenized exposure to traditional equities and growing interest in on-chain trading of non-crypto assets.

Base Co-Founder Admits On-Chain Social Strategy Fell Short; Base App Returns to Coinbase Under Cobie

According to Odaily, Base co-founder Jesse Pollak acknowledged that the network's previous focus on on-chain social applications failed to drive crypto adoption as expected, leaving Base behind competitors in perpetuals, prediction markets, tokenization, and payments. Base will reposition itself as the "blockchain for global finance" in 2026, prioritizing trading, payments, and AI agents. The Base application will return to Coinbase's team under Cobie's leadership, while Base continues supporting developers through infrastructure, ecosystem funding, and Coinbase distribution.

Celestia Labs Acquires Sovereign Labs

According to Odaily, Celestia Labs has acquired Sovereign Labs, a high-performance blockchain framework developer that has contributed to the Celestia ecosystem since 2021. Sovereign's framework powers projects including Relay Protocol and perpetual trading platform Bullet. Following the acquisition, Celestia will expand from Layer 1 infrastructure into execution and application layers, offering enterprises full-stack customizable blockchain solutions as demand for dedicated blockchain infrastructure continues to grow.

Open USD Targets H2 2026 Launch with Revenue-Sharing Model Challenging USDC

According to Odaily, CoinShares stated that Open USD plans to distribute part of its stablecoin reserve income to ecosystem partners, challenging Circle's current USDC distribution model. Backed by more than 140 companies—including BlackRock, Coinbase, Mastercard, Stripe, and Visa—Open USD is expected to launch in the second half of 2026. CoinShares believes the revenue-sharing approach could provide stronger incentives for partners, although USDC's existing liquidity and extensive integrations remain significant competitive advantages.

5. Security Alert

According to unfolded, Arbitrum-based perpetual trading platform Ostium was reportedly exploited after an oracle signer's private key was compromised. Attackers allegedly used a registered PriceUpkeep forwarder to submit favorable future-dated prices, repeatedly opening and closing positions to drain protocol liquidity, resulting in estimated losses of $12–18 million in USDC. Before using on-chain derivatives protocols, users should verify whether the protocol employs multisignature controls, oracle delay protection, and circuit breakers for abnormal trading. Avoid keeping large balances in a single protocol, and if abnormal pricing, withdrawal suspensions, or unclear official announcements occur, stop granting approvals or adding collateral immediately. Always verify information through official channels and never trust unsolicited refund, asset migration, or private key verification requests.
