This is exactly the reason why Hyperliquid will fail as a chain. they encouraged founders to build hypeliquid native stablecoin and USDH was born what happened? one day Hyperliquid partnered with Circle and USDH immediately died Hyperliquid also used to encourage founders to build their mobile app saying the future is mobile-first. many teams built hype native mobile apps what happened? Hyperliquid launched their official mobile app and everything else died why would any serious founders want to build on a chain where they’re competing with the chain itself? Base failed for the same reason. It’s not neutral and you had to compete with their in-house founders Robinhood will follow the same path as Hyperliquid and Base Their app will prob do well but they will fail in attracting founders which is the crucial part for a chain to succeed Solana is dominating the space because it’s neutral and has the most users and liquidity its the best place for founders to build on. Do not waste time picking which chain to build on the answer is clear in 2026
It's going to be really hard to convince startups to build stock products on Robinhood chain. Why would you? You're competing with Robinhood. Robinhood chain will do great. Robinhood is awesome, but it's a different category of thing. @solana's moat is and always will be it's vibrant startup ecosystem. The only choice serious founders have is a credibly neutral platform where your business isn't going to be directly killed by the house.
