ArbitrumDAO Generates $6.19M Revenue in H1 2026, Robinhood Chain Contributes 35% in July

ChainCatcher report: The Arbitrum Foundation has released its semi-annual progress report. In the first half of 2026, ArbitrumDAO generated $6.19 million in revenue, with licensing fees from the Arbitrum Extension Program (AEP) emerging as a key source. In July, AEP licensing fees reached $360,000, accounting for 35% of ArbitrumDAO’s monthly revenue—marking the first month of Robinhood Chain’s mainnet launch. According to DefiLlama data, Robinhood Chain recorded $1.43 billion in 24-hour DEX trading volume and paid $3.75 million in on-chain fees, compared to Arbitrum One’s $193 million in trading volume and just $14,700 in fees during the same period. The report shows that in the first half of the year, the Arbitrum network processed 478 million transactions, bringing its cumulative transaction volume to 2.7 billion; its ecosystem GDP reached $206 million (cumulative $1.7 billion); and monthly average stablecoin transfer volume exceeded $70 billion. In terms of RWA deployments, Arbitrum leads with 3,317 assets, but by value, Ethereum far surpasses Arbitrum at $17.57 billion versus Arbitrum’s $779 million. On enterprise adoption: LG Electronics announced in June a pilot for an on-chain advertising network on Arbitrum; Mastercard expanded stablecoin settlement support; and PayPal’s PYUSD peaked at $475 million in Q1 on Arbitrum.
