Renowned crypto trader Bonk Guy noted in a post that market sentiment toward PONS may have hit a long-term low. Its comparable project PUMP currently has a market capitalization of around $2.7 billion, up 17% on the day. PONS generates annualized revenue of roughly $156.8 million, with a market cap of $375 million, corresponding to an annualized revenue multiple of approximately 2.39x. For PUMP, annualized revenue stands at $463.6 million, with a market cap of $2.7 billion, translating to an annualized revenue multiple of 5.82x.

If Robinhood Chain sustains a certain level of ecosystem activity moving forward, the gap between PONS’ current valuation and its revenue scale may be worth noting.

As Bitcoin becomes increasingly integrated into institutional portfolios, some investors may prefer to avoid adding further dollar risk on top of their existing exposures to U.S. dollar-denominated assets like U.S. stocks, U.S. Treasuries, gold, and oil.
