Last night, leading decentralized exchange (DEX) protocol Uniswap announced the official launch of its own launchpad pools.trade on the Robinhood Chain. According to Hayden Adams, the platform had already gained massive traction in the crypto community ahead of its official release, enabling token issuance and trading via on-chain contract interactions, with cumulative trading volume exceeding $150 million. Meanwhile, Uniswap’s move has impacted the interests of existing launchpad players. Multiple industry figures, including Bankr founder (@0xDeployer), have expressed dissatisfaction with what they term Uniswap’s "monopolistic" behavior. Additionally, pons, a previously viral token launch platform on Robinhood Chain, has seen its token market cap decline for multiple consecutive days following pools.trade’s launch, dropping from a peak of $67 million to below $20 million. Almost concurrent with pools.trade’s launch, Bankr’s founder and Sushi’s founder engaged in "close interactions", hinting at deep collaboration in the launchpad space to co-build pools.fun. Some analysts believe Bankr will migrate its existing Robinhood Chain launch process from Doppler/Uniswap v4 to Sushi’s launch framework, while retaining its distribution layer. BlockBeats notes that the current launchpad war on Robinhood Chain has entered a white-hot phase, but market consensus holds that the current environment lacks neither launch platforms nor liquidity; what is missing are narratives and innovations that can truly trigger user FOMO.
