BONER Locks Up More Than Half of Robinhood Chain’s Tokenized HIMS Float
A memecoin tied to the short-interest narrative around Hims & Hers Health has pulled more than half of Robinhood Chain’s tokenized HIMS supply into its own liquidity pool, creating a weekend price dislocation that briefly sent the wrapper to $132.64 while the underlying stock was far lower. Data cited by The Defiant shows BONER’s main BONER/HIMS pool alone held 31,198 HIMS tokens as of Monday, equal to 53% of all issued tokenized shares on the chain, while 83% of total supply sat inside Uniswap v4’s pool manager contract. Because only BBVI, the sole authorized participant named in Robinhood’s documentation, can mint or burn these stock tokens, ordinary traders had no way to expand supply during the squeeze in onchain liquidity. The article argues that a thin float, memecoin launchpads that use stock tokens as quote assets, and weekend market closure combined to let relatively small orders move the wrapper far away from the real equity. Once the NYSE reopened and new HIMS tokens were minted into the premium on Monday, the gap narrowed back toward spot equity pricing. The episode also highlights how Robinhood Chain’s real-world asset pitch is colliding with memecoin speculation, with stock-linked meme pairs now accounting for some of the chain’s most active pools.
