A public pull request in the BitGoJS repository added support for the Cash Cat token on Robinhood Chain about ten days before Robinhood announced the listing. Traders who noticed the change say they made roughly $6M by buying ahead of the announcement.

What the code shows

A search for "cashcat" in BitGoJS pull requests returns two results, both closed. The earlier one, PR #9357, is titled "feat(statics): onboard polygon:infra, hoodeth:cashcat, ada:usdr/susdr, rename cETH". It was opened by contributor hirenmaySam and merged on July 28, 2026.

"hoodeth" is the ticker BitGo uses for Robinhood Chain mainnet, so the "hoodeth:cashcat" entry means onboarding the Cash Cat token on that network. The same PR also covered:

  • polygon:infra
  • ada:usdr and ada:susdr
  • a rename of cETH

The second result, PR #9457 "feat(statics): onboard batch 0803 tokens" by contributor manojkumar138, was merged on August 10, 2026.

Why a public PR matters

BitGoJS is an open source repository, so any token added to the statics module becomes publicly visible the moment the pull request is opened. Custody support for Cash Cat therefore showed up roughly ten days before the official listing announcement.

That window was enough for traders who watch the repository. They say they bought Cash Cat before the Robinhood announcement and put their combined profit at about $6M.

The $6M figure is the traders' own estimate, not a number confirmed by Robinhood or BitGo.
