Relay warns some Robinhood Chain tokens vanish after purchase

Buyers on Robinhood Chain may be facing a new risk in the network's early trading surge: some tokens reportedly disappear from wallets after purchase, leaving the money spent unrecoverable. Relay, a bridge and swap interface that supports the chain, said the issue appears tied to scam tokens rather than wallet breaches.

According to Relay, the reported cases did not involve stolen private keys or broader balance changes. Only the purchased tokens were affected, while other assets in the same wallets stayed untouched. Relay said it is blocking these tokens as they appear and verifying others it considers safe.

The warning matters because Robinhood Chain is permissionless. Anyone can deploy a token without Robinhood approval, and third-party markets can form around the chain even if an asset is not listed inside a Robinhood product. Relay did not say whether the trades happened through Robinhood Wallet, and there is no sign that brokerage accounts or other Robinhood services were affected.

Important details are still missing. Relay did not publish contract addresses, transaction records, buyer counts, total losses, or the technical reason the tokens vanished. It also remains unclear whether users saw any warning before signing trades, or only after the purchases were complete.
