Update, September 3, 2026: Full leaderboard refresh. Artificial Inu took the crown, Cashcat set a new all-time record, $PONS graduated out of the meme category entirely, and stock-paired memecoins turned into the hottest trade on the chain. Numbers throughout have been brought current.
Robinhood memes are community-created memecoins launched on Robinhood Chain, the Layer-2 network the trading app giant switched on in July 2026. The chain was built for tokenized stocks and real-world assets. The traders, however, had other plans. Within weeks, memecoins were generating over 80% of all trading volume on the network, and a cat-themed token briefly became worth more than every tokenized stock on the chain combined.
Two months in, the memes and the tokenized stocks have started to merge into something new entirely. If you are new to this scene, start with our explainer on Robinhood memes for the full backstory, including the CEO account hack that pushed the whole topic into mainstream headlines. This post is the follow-up: the top coins right now, the numbers behind the frenzy, and how to approach it without getting wrecked.
The Robinhood Meme Boom in Numbers
The scale of this thing keeps outrunning every estimate written about it.
Pons, the dominant launchpad, just posted $5.95 million in fees in a single day on September 1 — more than the entire chain generated in fees underneath it. Cumulative Pons fees have blown past $56 million in two months, with roughly $40 million of that earned in the trailing 30 days alone. One recent day saw 22,600 new tokens launched, and the network now processes over 5 million transactions daily, up from well under a million in early July. You can track the live numbers on the Pons Dune dashboard maintained by analyst adam_tehc.
The chain underneath has grown into the frenzy too. TVL crossed $1 billion, daily DEX volume approaches $1 billion, and memecoins still account for roughly 80% of it. Noxa, the original launchpad that once handled 75% of deployments, collected over $12 million in fees before abruptly shutting down on July 11 — a collapse that now reads like ancient history in a market this fast.
Here comes the sobering half of the math. Tens of thousands of tokens launch, and the survival rate remains close to a rounding error. Nearly all of them go to zero within days. The handful below are the exceptions, not the rule.
Cashcat (CASHCAT): The Mascot at a New Record
Cashcat is the token that put Robinhood Chain memes on the map, and it just rewrote its own record book. The name comes from real history: before Robinhood was Robinhood, founders Vlad Tenev and Baiju Bhatt called their startup CashCat. An anonymous team resurrected that piece of trivia as a token, and the market has never let it go.
The July run already looked absurd — a 2,100% weekly surge, a brief $200 million peak, then a 75% collapse when Noxa went dark. Most memes die there. Cashcat instead spent August grinding back, more than doubled in the week through August 25, and now trades around a $254 million market cap: a fresh all-time high, up over 430% in the past 30 days.
One wallet reportedly turned $220,000 into $4.7 million riding CASHCAT and PONS through this stretch, which tells you why the rotation keeps coming back to the chain’s mascot. It no longer sits alone at the top, though — a dog just ran past the cat.
CASHCAT is a textbook case of narrative and timing — the full breakdown is in what makes a good meme coin.
Artificial Inu (AI): The New Top Dog
The biggest meme on the chain right now merges three narratives at once: Shiba Inu culture, artificial intelligence, and NVIDIA. Artificial Inu trades directly against tokenized $NVDA on-chain rather than against ETH or a stablecoin, and its fee design leans into that pairing — buy-side fees accumulate real NVDA stock tokens in a community vault, while sell-side fees burn $AI supply. The vault only grows, the supply only shrinks, and volume drives both.
The market noticed fast. Trader Ansem bought in on August 21 with the token near a $20 million cap, the crowd followed, and $AI ripped through a $137 million all-time high within nine days. It has since kept climbing to roughly $280 million, overtaking Cashcat as the chain’s largest memecoin and branding itself the number-one stock-paired token in the world.
Pons (PONS): Graduated From the Meme Category
The August update called PONS the current king of the memes at $45 million. That framing died in spectacular fashion. When Uniswap’s Pools.trade launched on August 5 and out-launched Pons on day one, $PONS collapsed 49% as the market panicked about the launchpad war. Then the buybacks and burns did their work: the token went vertical through late August and printed a $0.4921 all-time high on September 1, a market cap around $300 million.
CoinGecko no longer even lists it in the meme category, and fair enough. With 29% of supply burned, fee revenue exceeding the chain’s own, and perps trading on Hyperliquid and Bybit, PONS behaves like an infrastructure bet, not a meme. My own ride ended here as well — I scaled out on the way up and sold the last of it when Hyperliquid listed PONS perps, reasoning that shortable markets end parabolas. The mechanics, the burn math, and the full trade are in the freshly updated $PONS deep dive.
The Stock-Paired Wave: Boner, Stonkbroker, and Microduck
Artificial Inu is the flagship of a much wider shift: memecoins that trade against tokenized stocks instead of crypto, turning meme attention into real-world-asset demand. Long.xyz explainer — goes live tomorrow, and I’ll update you here.
Boner Coin (BONER) delivered the wildest story of the pattern. Paired directly against tokenized Hims & Hers stock — the ED-treatment company, hence the joke — every BONER buy locks HIMS tokens into its liquidity pool. Buyers cornered roughly 81% of the tokenized HIMS float over a single weekend, briefly pricing on-chain HIMS near $124 while the real share closed at $28.84 on the NYSE. The token peaked around $70 million in a day and holds roughly $48 million now, having proven that a joke coin can bend the price of a listed company’s wrapper.
Stonkbroker (STONK) deserves an apology from our August update, where it sat in the “unproven radar” bucket. The suit-wearing broker meme ground its way to roughly $49 million and has outlasted almost everything launched alongside it. Microduck rounds out the wave at about $34 million: an NVDA-paired token built on the viral open-source Microduck robot from the Hugging Face ecosystem, riding the physical-AI narrative with a duck attached.
None of this makes these safer than regular memes. A float squeeze unwinds the moment markets reopen and more stock tokens get minted, and every coin in this section remains a joke with a clever wrapper.
Goose Token (GOOSE): Pure Parody Still Prints
Among the classic no-utility joke coins, the standout newcomer is a goose in a presidential suit. GOOSE launched in late August as pure parody — “Official Coin of the People,” zero taxes, campaign promises of Big Honk Energy — and ripped to a $0.1326 all-time high within days. It now holds around a $78 million market cap, roughly 40% below that peak.
No lore connects it to Robinhood, no mechanics back it, and the chart is days old. A brand-new token holding eight figures after its first drawdown is notable in this market, and that is the entire bull case. Treat the honking accordingly.
The Rotation: Chump, PipeDog, Tendies, and Thinking Cat
Below the leaders, the board has turned over almost completely since late August.
Chump Coin (CHUMP) came out of nowhere to roughly $30 million, up 174% in the past week. PipeDog graduated from our “radar” list into the mid-tier at $27.5 million. Tendies, the WallStreetBets culture play we featured as a top-three meme in August, still holds around $27 million — up 95% on the month, yet no longer big enough for a throne on this leaderboard, which says more about the market than about the token. Thinking Cat (HMM) — a token about the hesitation every trader feels before a bad decision, bought directly through posts on X via a launchbot — rode the cat rotation to nearly $20 million, up an outrageous 2,300% in 30 days.
Further down, Little John holds around $17 million, YOLO sits near $11 million after a 380% month, and DogBull rounds out the eight-figure club. The freshest entry deserves its own warning label: Lil’ Shrub printed a 33,000%+ move in a single day to reach $9.6 million on $35 million of volume. Charts like that resolve violently in one direction or the other, and rarely the direction buyers hope. FRONG completes the current dozen at just over $9 million.
Gone from the leaderboard: Cashdog, Brodie, and Index, all featured five weeks ago, all faded. That turnover rate is the real lesson of this section.
Even the CEO Got Memed: The Vladhood Hack
Nothing captures this market better than what happened on July 23. Hackers took over Vlad Tenev’s own X account and posted a fake announcement for “Vladhood ($VLAD),” calling it the official Robinhood Chain mascot and promising a listing on the Robinhood app. The token had been created just 46 minutes earlier.
The post pulled over 175,000 views in twenty minutes, the coin spiked to a roughly $10 million market cap, and by the time Robinhood confirmed the breach and deleted the tweet, the attackers had walked away with around 650 ETH — about $1.2 to $1.3 million. One tweet from a trusted account, one fresh token, seven figures gone. Vladhood trades around a $174,000 market cap today, a 98% decay that maps the exact lifecycle of every hack-and-pump. If a fake coin shilled from a hacked CEO account can pull millions in minutes, imagine how carefully you should treat every other “announcement” on your timeline.
A Fair Warning Before You Ape
Let’s be blunt about what this is. Memecoins have no product, no revenue, and no floor. Their value is attention, and attention rotates without warning. People call it the memecoin casino for a reason — and unlike a real casino, nobody audits the house.
Cashcat losing three quarters of its value in July was not an anomaly, and neither was its 430% comeback. Both are the standard behavior of the asset class, in both directions. On-chain data across Robinhood Chain memes shows heavy wallet concentration, which means a few large holders can move any of these markets whenever they choose.
AirdropAlert founder Morten Christensen recently broke down the memecoin economy on BBC World Service’s Business Daily — worth a listen if you want the honest version of how this market actually works before putting money in. The episode is also on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
Risk Management: The Only Edge That Matters
You cannot predict which meme runs. What you can control is how much damage any single one does to you.
A simple framework that works: risk a fixed, small slice of your portfolio per meme position — think 0.5% or less. For perspective, that is the personal maximum our founder uses after 13 years in crypto. At that size, a token going to zero costs you a rounding error, while a 100x still moves your portfolio meaningfully. That asymmetry is the entire trade.
A few supporting rules. Never add to a losing meme position. Take initial capital off the table after a big run, so you are playing with house money. Treat every dollar you put in as spent the moment you buy. And if a position keeps you checking charts at 3 AM, it is too big — regardless of the percentage.
How to Bridge to Robinhood Chain
Robinhood Chain is an EVM network built on Arbitrum’s stack, so getting on-chain works like any Ethereum Layer 2.
You will need a standard EVM wallet such as MetaMask or Rabby, with the Robinhood Chain network added. From there, bridge ETH from Ethereum mainnet or Arbitrum using the chain’s official bridge or a bridge aggregator, since gas and most trading pairs on the chain run through ETH. Network fees remain a fraction of a cent for now, though the 90-day gas waiver that subsidized the launch frenzy expires this month, so expect costs to tick up.
Once funded, the launchpads (Pons, Pools.trade, hood.fun, Flap) and DEX interfaces connect directly to your wallet. The usual rule applies double here: only use bridge and launchpad links from official channels. Fake sites appear within hours of anything trending, and memecoin traders are their favorite targets.

The Bigger Picture: RWAs Are the Plan, Memes Are the Money
Here is the part most meme traders skip, and it matters for where this chain goes next.
Robinhood did not build this network for dog and cat coins. The chain was designed for tokenized real-world assets: stocks, ETFs, treasuries, commodities. That side is finally waking up — tokenized stocks on the chain have jumped roughly fivefold as bigger size moves in, stablecoin supply approaches $770 million, and the network leads all blockchains in tokenized stock holders.
The twist nobody predicted: the memes are now driving the RWA side directly. Stock-paired tokens like BONER and Artificial Inu route real trading volume through tokenized equities, and at one point BONER alone accounted for two thirds of all RWA volume on the chain. Even CEO Vlad Tenev bent to reality early: on July 2 he said assets without utility don’t last, and six days later he posted that the chain “works great for memes too.”
Our read holds from July: follow the money, but respect the roadmap. Memecoin liquidity is what bootstraps a new chain — it happened on Solana, it happened on Base, and it is happening here, now with a direct pipe into the tokenized-asset side. Trade the memes if that’s your game, sized properly. Keep one eye on the stock tokens themselves, though, because that is where Robinhood’s actual ambitions live, and where the more durable opportunities on this chain will likely emerge.

Final Words
Five weeks changed everything except the pattern. Cashcat went from 75% drawdown to a new all-time record only to get lapped by an NVDA-paired dog, PONS 10x’d its way out of the meme category entirely, and stock-paired memecoins went from curiosity to the dominant trade — while three of the tokens featured in our last update vanished from the leaderboard. The casino rotates; the house rules never do.
If you play this market, play it small, take profits ruthlessly, and never confuse a lucky run with skill. The chain underneath keeps growing into a genuine financial network — which is exactly why the memes here keep finding fresh liquidity, and why we will keep this list current as the board turns.

FAQ
What are Robinhood memes? Community-created memecoins launched on Robinhood Chain, the Layer-2 network Robinhood launched in July 2026. They are not issued or endorsed by Robinhood the company, and most have no connection to it beyond the name of the chain they trade on.
Which Robinhood meme has the highest market cap? Artificial Inu ($AI), at roughly $280 million as of early September 2026, followed by Cashcat at around $254 million — itself a fresh all-time high above the famous July peak. PONS trades even higher at around $300 million, but trackers now classify it as a launchpad token rather than a meme.
What are stock-paired memecoins? Memecoins that trade directly against tokenized stocks instead of ETH or stablecoins. Buying them locks stock tokens into liquidity pools, which links meme demand to real-world-asset demand — Artificial Inu pairs with tokenized NVDA, and BONER pairs with tokenized HIMS. They are not stocks and grant no ownership rights.
How many memecoins are on Robinhood Chain? Well over 100,000 and counting. Recent single days have seen more than 22,000 new token launches, and the overwhelming majority lose all value within days.
Are Robinhood memes safe to invest in? No. They are among the most volatile and manipulated assets in crypto, with heavy wallet concentration and zero underlying value. If you participate, size positions so a total loss doesn’t matter — think 0.5% of your portfolio or less per token.
Is Robinhood Chain only for memecoins? Quite the opposite — the chain was built for tokenized stocks and real-world assets, and its RWA side is growing fast, with tokenized stock value up roughly fivefold recently and stablecoin supply near $770 million. Memecoins simply dominate the trading volume for now, and increasingly funnel volume into the stock tokens themselves.
Do I need a special wallet for Robinhood Chain? No. Any EVM wallet like MetaMask or Rabby works once you add the Robinhood Chain network. Bridge some ETH over for gas and trading, and you’re set.
