AMC CEO Adam Aron posted on the X platform again naming Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev and Chief Legal Officer Dan Gallagher. He stated that Robinhood had previously expressed support for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding the tokenization of U.S. stocks, believing that tokenized stocks should have voting rights and that companies should have the option to opt-out.Adam Aron also pointed out that it would be very "hypocritical" if Robinhood did not apply the same principles in its overseas operations, and he urged them not to go against the SEC's stance, "do not openly disrespect and provoke the SEC."

The GoPlus security team disclosed that a high-risk fraudulent Meme factory was recently discovered on the Robinhood Chain, with a transaction volume exceeding 9 million dollars in the past 30 days, involving hundreds of fraudulent Memes. The asset aggregation address is 0x8c3Bad30cc7563A2D0357F49509FFd063666bb00. As of September 28, 2026, the address balance is approximately 56.0635 ETH, equivalent to about 148,000 dollars; the address has a total of about 1,385 transactions, with the latest 400 transactions generating approximately 1,728.02 ETH in income and transferring out approximately 1,861.12 ETH; the two-way transaction volume is about 3,589.14 ETH, equivalent to about 9.49 million dollars.Direct evidence of "authorizing or selling tokens ---> liquidating ETH ---> transferring to the same aggregation address" was found in the high-risk associated Memes. The amount is the gross amount transferred into the aggregation system from the same project batch and does not represent net profit. The fraudulent Meme factory model mainly includes "new accounts shipping out ---> layered aggregation ---> fund recycling: 1. Creating Tokens based on industry hotspots; 2. Allocating Tokens to a large number of new EOAs with only 4 to 11 transactions; 3. Selling in segments through PonsV2Helper / UniversalRouter; 4. Emptying ETH to local aggregators or the main aggregation address (0x8c3bad); 5. Providing funds for the next round of projects, new wallets, and trading operations. The key to this fraud model is: 1. Using a large number of new wallets to hide the actual concentration of chips; 2. Segmentally selling by these wallets to create the illusion of multiple independent traders; 3. After the shipment is completed, funds flow into the same aggregation system; 4. Reinvesting the profits from old projects into the next round.On-chain researcher Wazz recently disclosed that a suspected continuous Rug gang initiated at least 53 Robinhood Chain Memes within about two months and extracted approximately 18.43 million dollars from them. Their main tactic is to control most of the token supply using 70 to 200 wallets, then reinvest the profits from the previous round into the next round. This case is similar to the fraudulent model in this case, but there is currently no evidence to indicate that it is the same gang.

According to on-chain analyst Ai Yi (@ai_9684xtpa), the GMGN associated address deposited 6,100 ETH to Coinbase, worth approximately 16.38 million USD.Looking back, this ETH was transferred from the Robinhood network to the Ethereum mainnet 6 days ago, possibly as revenue from transaction fees on the Robinhood network.

According to on-chain analyst Wazz, there is an organized chain of Rug Pull and fund extraction gang on Robinhood, which has been associated with 53 token issuances in the past two months. The directly traceable extraction amount has reached 18.43 million USD, and the actual amount may be higher.It is reported that the gang's methods are highly systematic: the funds raised from each issuance will flow into the launch wallet of the next issuance within seconds, forming a chain of funds; each issuance is bundled with 70-200 wallets to capture over 70% of the supply, mostly issued through the Pons V2 platform.In addition, the gang also creates "fake issuances" to hype up before the official issuance, harvesting market sentiment in advance, and then publishes the real contract address to maximize extraction profits. The token under investigation, $DEED, even failed to make it into the top ten of the extraction amounts.

DeFi researcher Ignas stated that the popularity of Robinhood's ecosystem tokenized stocks and Meme coins is waning, with the TVL of Robinhood Chain's tokenized stocks remaining flat for two consecutive weeks, and the number of stocks destroyed has exceeded the issuance amount.Ignas further indicated that if trading volume continues to slow down, a decline in revenue may lead to weakened holding willingness, increased selling pressure, and cause LPs to exit, resulting in further liquidity contraction. He revealed that he has exited the Meme coin LP position due to a significant drop in yields and believes the market needs new catalysts to drive the trend again. He also noted that tokenized stocks on Solana seem to still be rising and speculated that the trend of funds shifting from Robinhood to Solana may be more sustainable.

According to CoinDesk, the U.S. SEC has launched a five-year innovation exemption that provides a pathway for eligible tokenized U.S. stocks to be traded through automated market makers (AMM) on public blockchains. Analysts from Goldman Sachs and Citizens believe that Coinbase, Robinhood, and Circle could become early beneficiaries of this policy.The new framework requires tokens to retain shareholder rights such as dividends and voting rights while imposing limits on the number of stocks and trading volume that trading platforms can offer. Goldman Sachs stated that Coinbase's existing tokenized stock products already possess several of the required features, and its institutional custody business and Coinbase Tokenize may also benefit.However, Coinbase's current trading platform uses a centralized limit order book, and to operate a trading venue directly under the exemption, it will still need to build AMM infrastructure or route trades to decentralized trading platforms on Base.Currently, the stock tokens offered by Robinhood for markets outside the U.S. are derivatives that only provide price exposure and do not possess the complete shareholder rights required by the framework, thus requiring further adjustments to the product. Robinhood has previously stated plans to add 1:1 redemption and voting rights features for stocks.Analysts also believe that an increase in on-chain securities trading may drive demand for tokenized cash, benefiting Circle indirectly, with USDC potentially being used for settlement and collateral in on-chain markets.
