PONS, an altcoin launchpad project on Robinhood Chain that went live in July, became the focus of two contrasting market signals on September 4, 2026. The PONS team announced via X that Uniswap Labs, developer of the decentralized exchange Uniswap, has purchased PONS tokens. The project said the move deepens the partnership between the two parties and strengthens long-term alignment.
Following the announcement, PONS gained more than 30% in value and surpassed the $0.7 level, according to data reported by CoinDesk. The size of Uniswap Labs' acquisition was not disclosed; the number of tokens, purchase price, and total transaction value remain unknown. It is also unclear whether the tokens were bought on the open market or allocated directly to Uniswap Labs. PONS uses Uniswap V4 infrastructure for token transactions, and new tokens created on the platform can move to Uniswap V4 liquidity pools once they reach a certain market capitalization.
Separately, trader Loracle expanded a short position on PONS, drawing attention from market participants. The current liquidity for PONS was reported at 1.05, and the trading team reportedly holds a few million in a buyback wallet. Traders are watching potential exchange listings, liquidity levels, and the interplay between buyback strategies and short positions as the situation develops.
