Uniswap v4 hits 340,000 token launches as Pons drives price discovery
Uniswap v4 passed 340,000 cumulative token launches as of Aug. 4, 2026, as CCAs seed v4 pools and Pons drives price discovery.
Uniswap's Launches aggregator shows Pons accounted for 66,000 of those launches, with more than 210,000 tokens launched in two weeks and over $283 million in volume through Uniswap pools, according to data published by the protocol.
The PONS token fell 12 percent to a $28 million market cap as the launch wave broadened. A v2 is coming on Uniswap v4 to bridge memecoins and real-world assets on Robinhood Chain, extending the runway for new listings beyond Ethereum.
The surge tilts Uniswap toward price discovery rather than liquidity concentration, with CCAs seeding v4 pools ahead of a broader shift. Whether launch volume translates into sustained trading — or fragments into low-quality listings — will determine how much of the DEX market Uniswap holds as Robinhood Chain and rival venues compete for the same tokens.
Pons and the launch aggregator race
Pons went live on Uniswap's Launches aggregator touting more than 210,000 tokens launched in two weeks and over $283 million in volume through Uniswap pools. The v2 iteration targets Uniswap v4 to bridge memecoins and real-world assets on Robinhood Chain, a move that pits the aggregator against rival launch venues on Solana and Hyperliquid.
The launch wave mirrors a broader shift in onchain markets, where tokenized stocks and perpetual futures have drawn traders to venues that price assets around the clock. Uniswap's 340,000 cumulative launches position it as a primary venue for new token price discovery, though the concentration of volume in a handful of aggregators raises questions about market fragmentation.
For UNI holders, the launch volume supports demand for the token as a settlement asset, though the proliferation of low-quality listings could dilute the network's reputation. The next milestone is the v2 rollout on Uniswap v4 and whether Robinhood Chain's integration sustains the pace of launches into the fourth quarter.
