Uniswap Debuts Pools.trade for Token Launches on Robinhood Chain

Uniswap has launched Pools.trade, its first token launchpad, on Robinhood Chain, enabling users to create and trade new tokens through a single interface. According to a Santiment report published on August 6, Pools.trade allows token launches via a four-hour Crowd Launch or Instant Launch, after which liquidity is automatically placed into Uniswap v4 pools and permanently locked. This moves Uniswap beyond its traditional role as a decentralized exchange by placing it at the token’s earliest lifecycle stage.

The launch builds on Uniswap’s existing position as Robinhood Chain’s primary automated market maker. Robinhood’s Ethereum-compatible Layer 2 already supports multiple Uniswap versions alongside UniswapX, its wallet, web application, and API. Robinhood Chain has become the largest blockchain by real-world asset holder count, though meme coin trading still dominates DEX activity on the network.

Early attention on Pools.trade has centered on tokens like FRONG and POOLS, with many traders treating FRONG as the unofficial launchpad token despite no formal confirmation from Uniswap. Competing launchpad tokens such as PONS have come under pressure, with PONS down nearly 14% in 24 hours and its weekly chart showing a nearly 48% decline. The total market cap of top coins launched on Pons also dipped by more than 12% in the last day to under $20 million.

Santiment also noted strengthening on-chain data for UNI, Uniswap’s native token. Exchange balances have fallen 15.7% over the past month, while the token has climbed roughly 47% since the beginning of July, indicating reduced immediate selling pressure. Uniswap’s share of crypto-related social discussion reached its highest level since November 2025 after the Pools.trade announcement.

UNI was trading at just over $4.00 at the time of writing, up nearly 3% in 24 hours and almost 30% over the past month. Despite this recovery, the token remains about 91% below its all-time high of $44.92 from May 2021. Santiment concluded that Pools.trade could become an important source of activity for Uniswap if it continues attracting token launches.
