Both Crypto Economy and Crypto.news report that the Robinhood Chain's TVL hit $1.14 billion, with Crypto Economy specifying that the stablecoin market cap on the network is $1.079 billion, of which USDG constitutes 65.67%.

The Robinhood Chain has achieved a significant milestone, with total value locked (TVL) surpassing $1.1 billion, reaching $1.14 billion according to DefiLlama metrics as of October 22, 2026. This development underscores the growing adoption of decentralized finance (DeFi) on the platform.
The stablecoin market capitalization on the Robinhood Chain has also grown, reaching $1.079 billion. Of this, the USDG stablecoin accounts for 65.67% of the volume, indicating its prominence within the network's DeFi ecosystem.
Multiple outlets corroborate the $1.14 billion TVL figure, with Crypto Economy and Crypto.news both reporting this figure. However, they differ in their focus, with Crypto Economy emphasizing the stablecoin market composition and Crypto.news highlighting the role of the 
Morpho protocol in facilitating the new collateralized credit markets.
The Morpho protocol plays a crucial role in this development, enabling credit markets that are collateralized by tokenized stocks such as NVDA, GOOGL, and AAPL. This innovation allows users to leverage their stock holdings for borrowing, potentially attracting more institutional and retail participants to the platform.
In the broader market context, the total crypto market cap stands at $2.79 trillion, with 
Bitcoin experiencing a 24-hour decline of 2.59%. The Fear & Greed Index is at 50, indicating a neutral market sentiment. The USDG stablecoin is currently priced at $0.999893, showing minimal fluctuation, while the Morpho token (MORPHO) has seen a 2.89% drop in the last 24 hours.

The chart plots USDG's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from TLT's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 USDG ≈ ₦1,365.2 (about $0.9999), down 0.0% over 24 hours. The naira itself trades about 3.1% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Nigerian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
