Vlad Tenev follows Pons founder as Robinhood Chain launchpad race heats up

Robinhood co-founder and CEO Vlad Tenev has followed Pons founder @MEADGod on X, days after also following Ogle, a World Liberty Financial adviser active around the Pons ecosystem. The social signal has pushed fresh attention toward Pons, a Robinhood Chain launchpad that has been live for only about a week but has already posted rapid gains in token launches and trading activity. According to Dune data cited in the report, Pons had processed more than 66,000 token launches and over $380 million in cumulative trading volume as of 16:00 on July 20, while its share of launchpad token trading volume stayed above 50% over the previous two days. The platform had also distributed about $3.56 million in fees to token creators. Even so, the article argues that Pons still has to show it can convert issuance volume into durable wealth effects. Of roughly 67,000 tokens launched so far, only 529 had reached the platform’s default 4.2 ETH “graduation” threshold at the time of writing, putting the graduation rate below 0.8%.
