HOOKR, the token tied to Robinhood Chain launch platform Hookr.fun, extended its rally on Aug. 31, according to GMGN tracking cited by BlockBeats. The token’s market cap was last seen at $19.05 million and at one point came close to $20 million. Over the past 24 hours, HOOKR was up 50%, while trading volume reached $5.5 million. BlockBeats said HOOKR’s market cap had been only about $500,000 on Aug. 20, implying an expansion of nearly 40x at the day’s peak valuation. Hookr.fun rolled out V5 between Aug. 20 and Aug. 21 and currently supports two token launch models: Instant Launch and Bonded Auction. Early on Aug. 30 Beijing time, Hookr said cumulative HOOKR burns were about to reach 2.5 million tokens and teased that “a big wave of updates is coming.” Under Hookr’s rules, qualified swaps in its ETH trading pair are charged a 0.3% protocol fee. The accumulated ETH is then used to buy back HOOKR on the market and permanently burn it within the same transaction. BlockBeats added that the recent rise in burn volume may be seen by funds as a sign that platform trading activity is starting to translate into buying demand for HOOKR.
