At its HOOD Summit, Robinhood said US users will get perpetual futures on BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, DOGE, ADA, LINK and HYPE within months: 10x leverage on BTC and ETH, 3x on the rest, 0.01% per trade through year-end, run through Bitstamp.

53 Memecoins on Robinhood Chain Turned Out to Be One Crew. They Took $18.4M, and Each Rug Paid for the Next
An onchain investigation by analyst Wazz ties 53 Robinhood Chain memecoin launches, between July 10 and September 21, to a single operation that pulled out at least $18.43 million. The group used bundles of 70 to 200 wallets, got its own wallets exempted from the launchpad's anti-sniping tax, grabbed 82-86% of supply within seconds of launch, and used each rug's proceeds to fund the next one. Robinhood's new chain is less than three months old.

BitMEX Invented the 100x Perpetual Swap, Beat a Criminal Case With a Presidential Pardon, Then Lost to the Product It Created. Leave Money There Now and It Costs You $50 a Month
BitMEX stopped trading on September 23 at 04:00 UTC, 11 years after launch. It invented the perpetual swap in 2016 and once handled about 57% of all crypto derivatives trading. Perps did $61.7 trillion in volume in 2025, and almost none of it went through BitMEX. The company says it never lost user funds to a hack, but it still owes something: the Celsius estate filed a $490 million lawsuit over 2020 liquidations eleven days before the shutdown. Here's what happened, what users need to do before the fees start, and what it means if you work in derivatives.

Robinhood Wallet Users Bought Dogwifhat With Credit Cards and Earned Cash Back, Because Visa Was Told They Were Buying E-Books
For months, memecoin purchases on Robinhood Wallet and Fomo ran through Crossmint under merchant code 5815, the category for audiobooks, movies and digital art. No separate KYC, and the buys earned ordinary points and cash back that Visa's own rules say crypto can never earn. Chase caught one transaction and opened a case. The New York AG is 'reviewing the matter.' Now Visa has told processors including Checkout.com that the code is 'not appropriate for memecoin purchases,' with a grace period that ends next week. One source's summary of Visa's message: 'Stop being cute, stay in your lane and use the appropriate codes.'

The SEC Just Legalized Trading Apple Stock on Uniswap. The $3 Billion of Tokenized Stocks That Already Exist Don't Qualify.
Two days after the Senate killed the CLARITY Act, the SEC dropped a five-year 'innovation exemption' letting permissioned AMM pools trade real US stocks onchain with no exchange registration. The catch: tokens have to carry actual shareholder rights. Ondo, xStocks and Robinhood's stock tokens don't. An SEC spokesperson's verdict on the synthetics: 'They can remain out in the wilds.'

Two Robinhood Engineers Front-Ran Their Own Company's Token Listings on Hyperliquid. They Made $50K Each. They're Facing 30 Years.

Now SDNY is bringing what looks like the first Commodity Exchange Act case over trades on a DEX.
