Most Robinhood Chain stock trading is outside NYSE hours
$4.33B of stock-token volume in seven days, 74% of it outside the NYSE session.
Stock tokens on Robinhood Chain turned over $4.33 billion of swap volume in the seven days to September 9th, 2026, 26 times the $167 million of tokens the week ended with. The NYSE session carries a quarter of that volume against 15% of the week's hours, and the weekend of September 5th and 6th carried $1.03 billion with no US venue quoting. How large the market looks depends on which pools count: any pool with a stock token on one side gives $7.42 billion over the 30 days to September 9th, against $3.83 billion counting only stock against a stablecoin or ETH.

Abstract
Robinhood Chain launched on July 1st, 2026 and its first stock token traded on July 2nd. Ten weeks later it carries more onchain stock-token trading than anywhere else Allium indexes. This brief reads the chain's own record at one cutoff, September 10th, 2026 at 00:00 UTC.
Volume counts one row per pool swap, on the stock leg. On that basis stock tokens turned over $4.33 billion in the seven days to the cutoff, 26 times the $167 million of tokens the week ended with. Robinhood has sponsored gas on qualifying swaps since launch, an offer it has said runs to September 29th. The three days to September 9th ran $1.21 billion, about 40% below the peak week's daily pace.
How large the market looks depends on which pools count as stock trading. Any pool with a stock token on one side gives $7.42 billion over the 30 days to September 9th; counting only stock against a stablecoin or ETH gives $3.83 billion. Just under half of all trading since launch is against something other than a stablecoin or ETH. The broad measure is used throughout.
74% of the swap dollars traded outside the NYSE regular session, which accounts for 26 of the week's 168 hours, and the weekend of September 5th and 6th carried $1.03 billion with no US venue quoting. Monday September 7th was Labor Day, so the window holds four sessions rather than five. Nothing can be issued against a weekend move until Monday.
