According to GMGN data, the market capitalization of the Meme coin WALLET on the Robinhood Chain briefly surged past 50 million USD, setting a new historical high, with an intraday increase of over 57%, currently reported at 46.88 million USD.In terms of narrative, on-chain researchers in the community have found that wallets related to the deployment of WALLET appear to have financial connections with wallets associated with Robinhood co-founder Vlad Tenev. Additionally, some addresses had on-chain activity weeks before the official announcement of Robinhood Chain, and a cluster of wallets has been pointed out as being related to a product manager at Robinhood.
