Cash Cat ($CASHCAT) is a community deployed memecoin on Robinhood Chain, the Arbitrum based Layer 2 network that Robinhood brought to public mainnet on July 1, 2026. It became the chain's flagship memecoin and, in August 2026, the first memecoin native to the chain to be listed for trading inside Robinhood's own app, a landmark moment for [[the trenches]] crossing into a retail brokerage.

## Origin

The coin's lore is unusually close to its host chain. "Cash Cat" was reportedly the name and mascot concept Robinhood's founders considered before settling on Robinhood, a story CEO Vlad Tenev had confirmed publicly in 2021, and the token adopted the cat with cash imagery from the company's early days. The project has no official tie to Robinhood; its own materials have described it as fan fiction with a ticker. It launched during Robinhood Chain's opening window, with its largest pools dating from mid June and July 1, 2026 per DexScreener, and quickly became the chain's dominant memecoin by volume. On July 9, CoinDesk reported a trader had turned about 800 dollars into over 1 million dollars on it. By mid July, per CoinGecko data, $CASHCAT hit an all time high near $0.23 and a market cap briefly above $224 million.

## The Robinhood listing

On August 6, 2026, the official @RobinhoodApp account announced "New asset now available to trade in the app and on Robinhood Legend. $CASHCAT (Cash Cat)." Coverage framed it as the first Robinhood Chain memecoin directly integrated into Robinhood's trading platform. The token rallied about 77 percent into the listing and roughly doubled around the announcement before giving back part of the move, with reported peaks around a $212 million market cap. Robinhood owned exchange Bitstamp listed it around the same time, and Crypto.com followed with a listing enabling fiat purchases. Arkham later estimated wallets linked to Robinhood and Bitstamp held about 7.8 million dollars of the supply, around 5 percent.

## Market history

After the listing pop faded, $CASHCAT settled lower. As of August 18, 2026, it traded around $0.09 with a market cap near $90 million and daily volume in the tens of millions across Uniswap pools on Robinhood Chain, per DexScreener and CoinGecko. It remains among the most liquid memecoins on the chain, and the story is ongoing.

## Cultural impact

Crypto Twitter treated the listing as a legitimization event: a memecoin born in the chain's launchpad scene reaching tens of millions of brokerage users within five weeks of the chain going live. Observers repeatedly stressed that a listing means tradability, not endorsement, and the episode became the reference point for every Robinhood Chain memecoin hoping to follow the same path.
