Each figure covers a different category. DEX volume measures spot trades made through blockchain applications instead of centralized exchanges. Total value locked, or TVL, tracks assets deposited in DeFi protocols. Bridged value includes assets moved onto Robinhood Chain whether or not they have been deposited into those applications.

After entering public testing in February 2026, Robinhood Chain launched its Arbitrum-powered mainnet on July 1. The network supports round-the-clock trading of tokenized stocks, which eligible users can lend or use as collateral.
