According to Chaoxiang Research, Goldman Sachs’ September 18, 2026 research report indicates that the SEC issued an order on September 17 granting a five-year conditional registration exemption to designated exchanges and liquidity providers, permitting them to offer tokenized stock trading in the United States. The exemption requirements include the mandatory use of automated market maker (AMM) order books, eligibility restricted solely to native tokenized stocks, and issuers retaining the right to veto tokenization prior to trading commencement. Goldman Sachs assesses that Coinbase (COIN) will derive the greatest benefit, as its current tokenized stock product already satisfies most exemption criteria; Robinhood (HOOD) will need to develop new offerings; and traditional exchanges are expected to experience limited direct impact.
Odaily News: Geoff Kendrick, Global Head of Digital Asset Research at Standard Chartered, stated that ARB is expected to reach $10 by the end of 2030. The forecast uses $0.14 as a reference price, approximately 48 times the current price of $0.21; its annual targets also include $0.5 in 2026, $1.5 in 2027, $3.5 in 2028, and $6.5 in 2029.Arbitrum's monthly revenue for September is projected to reach $5 million, representing a more than 5x increase from before Robinhood Chain's launch. Robinhood Chain launched its public chain mainnet on July 1 based on the Arbitrum platform, targeting tokenized assets and decentralized finance applications; under the Expansion Program, 10% of protocol net revenue is returned to the Arbitrum ecosystem, with 8% going to the ArbitrumDAO treasury and 2% supporting the Arbitrum Developer Guild.ARB is an ERC-20 governance token used for voting on ArbitrumDAO proposals. It currently does not represent on-chain asset ownership, nor is there a mechanism for directly capturing Arbitrum revenue. Standard Chartered noted that a slowdown in the tokenization process, competing blockchains, and ARB's lack of a direct value capture mechanism are the main risks facing this forecast.

Odaily report: Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev stated on X that the United States is entering the tokenization era, and tokenization is coming to America. Thanks to the push from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Americans can begin to enjoy the benefits brought by tokenization, including instant settlement, 24/7 trading, and fractionalized trading enabled by default. He called this a significant moment for American innovation.
Odaily News: Robinhood posted on X platform expressing support for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) "innovation exemption," stating that Americans should be able to use crypto technology and the financial innovation it brings, including instant settlement, 24/7 trading, and default support for fractionalized trading.
According to The Block, Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan has revised his previous assessment regarding the impact of the Clarity Act's failure. The bill secured only 49 votes in a procedural Senate vote, falling short of the 60-vote threshold needed to advance. While Hougan had previously forecasted that a failed bill would trigger several weeks of crypto market weakness, he noted in his latest client report that Bitcoin has continued to rise after bottoming out around $57,950 on July 1, surpassing $80,000 on September 4. In the same period, Polymarket’s implied probability for the bill’s passage within the year dropped from 39% to 14%. Price action moving contrary to these expectations suggests that the bull market does not rely on legislative passage. Hougan also pointed out that initiatives such as Robinhood launching its own blockchain, Morgan Stanley listing a Solana ETF, and DTCC completing the settlement of the first batch of tokenized stocks demonstrate that Wall Street institutions are already positioning themselves ahead of regulatory clarity. He noted that proactive rulemaking by the SEC and CFTC can partially fill legislative gaps, but acknowledged that executive regulations carry the risk of being overturned by future administrations. Consequently, congressional legislation remains the sole path to providing lasting regulatory certainty.

According to Crypto Pulse Research, Bernstein's September 16, 2026, research report states that the procedural vote on the CLARITY Act has failed, and there should be no hope for a revote. Stablecoins, governed by the GENIUS Act, remain unaffected, while Circle’s ARC chain launched that same day. Robinhood's daily on-chain gross revenue is approximately $1 million. The bank recommends buying the recent weakness in crypto equities, favoring Robinhood (HOOD), Circle (CRCL), and Figure (FIGR), with target prices set at $160, $140, and $70, respectively. It sets a $330 price target for Coinbase, $350 for Strategy, and $24 for Sharplink. Bernstein believes that following legislative failure, regulatory clarity will pivot toward rulemaking by the CFTC and SEC. This rulemaking process will be aggressive and rapid, making product rollout schedules more predictable. Advancement of stablecoins, tokenization, perpetual futures, and prediction market-related products will continue, with crypto stock pullbacks offering buying opportunities.
Odaily reports: Crypto researcher Ignas posted on X platform, stating that he currently has "no FOMO" about trading on Arc, believing that Arc focuses more on forex, payments, and tokenization scenarios, and that the team's support for Crypto Native culture is relatively limited.Ignas stated that one of Arc's potential attractions may come from an ARC token airdrop. He noted that Arc has plans for 60% of its tokens to be allocated to the "ecosystem," but expects that the relevant tokens will be used more to incentivize ecosystem partners in payments, forex, and tokenization rather than Degen traders. Additionally, he believes that from Robinhood and Solana to Arc, the "Meme coin + stocks" playbook is being repeated, and unless Arc introduces a new narrative, he will look at other trading opportunities.
Robinhood announced that it will support Circle's Arc network, allowing users to directly deposit and withdraw USDC on the network.
well-known trader Bonk Guy posted in a TG channel stating that Arc is essentially a stablecoin public chain, and suitable use cases such as stablecoins may be found in the future. Although he has already bought Meme coins on the Arc chain, he plans to hold them for only a few days at most, and emphasized that if participating in Meme coin trading on Arc, it should be treated as a short-term opportunity.Bonk Guy further pointed out that for a long time, Arc has been one of the "best-executed" public chain launches. In the early stages after launch, the project connected to multiple key platforms such as FOMO and DEX Screener, with major launch platforms including Argus, Tolly, Lift, and Long. However, Arc is not the next Robinhood, BNB, or Solana, and users should participate cautiously, noting that treating it as a similar public chain may lead to losses.
Odaily News: On-chain trading platform GMX has published a governance proposal to allocate $10 million from its treasury in the first phase to establish a GMX token market-making fund. The fund will use cross-chain aggregate open interest as a reference metric, primarily conducting buybacks when GMX's circulating market cap falls below aggregate OI, and shifting to liquidity provision when circulating market cap is not below aggregate OI.The proposal also outlines a subsequent roadmap, including cross-collateral and cross-margin modes, market grouping, net open interest, RFQ, permissionless markets, Robinhood integration, and a new USDG LP product line. Additionally, GMX will initiate a GT buyback and distribute GT airdrops to GMX stakers, with specific details to be announced in subsequent proposals.

The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York has charged Robinhood engineers Hefu Chai and Huaisong Xiang with exploiting their positions to obtain cryptocurrency listing plans, purchasing perpetual contracts for the related tokens on the decentralized derivatives trading platform Hyperliquid prior to public announcement, each profiting over $50,000. Both currently face charges of commodity fraud and wire fraud, carrying maximum sentences of 10 and 20 years, respectively. The charges have not yet been adjudicated by a court.
Odaily reports: According to on-chain analyst Ai Yi's monitoring, an address bridged CRCL from the Robinhood network to the Arc network via Long on September 8, and subsequently invested $487.6 across three tokens: LONG, BITCOIN, and USDC. The cost basis for LONG was $0.0000136. Currently, the address has an unrealized profit of $578,000, representing a return rate of 118,483%.
DeFi analyst Jordi in Cryptoland posted on X stating that historical data shows Uniswap's activation of the Fee Switch did not weaken its competitiveness—its market share not only held steady but even increased. Before the fee switch was turned on, Uniswap accounted for 21% of total DEX trading volume; immediately after the switch was flipped, its share remained essentially flat; now, with the onboarding of the Robinhood channel, its share has risen to 31%.Today, Uniswap's value capture capability is also stronger. Protocol monthly revenue started from zero and has now stabilized at around $7.2 million. Compared to its multi-billion-dollar valuation, this figure is not particularly impressive (the P/E ratio remains above 40x), but with market share increasing by 10 percentage points while monthly revenue jumped from zero to $7.2 million, this is absolutely a massive milestone.
Robinhood Crypto officially posted on X platform stating that the USDG Vault under SteakhouseFi, which powers Robinhood Earn, is currently the largest vault on Morpho by deposit size, with deposits exceeding $456 million.
