Robinhood Chain, the Ethereum Layer-2 network operated by retail trading platform Robinhood, averaged 6.2 million transactions per day between Oct. 2 and Oct. 8, according to on-chain data from growthepie.

That figure marks a 42% slide from the 10.8 million daily transactions recorded across Sept. 10–16, based on growthepie's tally. The most recent week also ran roughly 20% below the week immediately before it, indicating that the deceleration is recent rather than part of a longer-running trend. Because both windows are drawn from the same provider's dataset, the comparison is like-for-like, though the counts alone do not identify what drove the change — a question that upcoming weekly readings will help clarify.

Layer-2 networks such as Robinhood Chain are built on top of Ethereum and are designed to process transactions with higher throughput and lower fees than the main network, while ultimately settling to Ethereum. Daily transaction counts are a widely used metric for gauging activity on these networks, and growthepie is an on-chain analytics provider that tracks usage data across the Ethereum ecosystem, where Robinhood Chain sits alongside other consumer-platform-operated Layer-2s such as Coinbase's Base.

Robinhood, a U.S.-based financial services platform best known for retail stock and cryptocurrency trading, runs the Layer-2 as part of its blockchain infrastructure. For a company with that retail footprint, weekly on-chain figures provide a public measure of how much transaction traffic its blockchain infrastructure is attracting.
