Uniswap Takes an Undisclosed Stake in PONS
Uniswap reportedly purchased Pons (PONS) tokens on Friday, citing long-term alignment with the memecoin launchpad operating on Robinhood Chain.

The transaction’s financial terms and structure remain unclear. It has not been disclosed whether the deal represents a strategic token allocation, a direct investment or part of a broader acquisition. However, the purchase gives Uniswap exposure to one of Robinhood Chain’s fastest-growing launchpad projects.
The development is particularly notable because Pons competes with pools.trade, a launchpad introduced by Uniswap Labs on Robinhood Chain last month.
Pons has emerged as one of the leading memecoin launchpads in the Robinhood Chain ecosystem.
Tokens launched through the platform initially trade along a bonding curve. Once they meet the required conditions, liquidity is migrated to Uniswap V4, connecting Pons directly with Uniswap’s decentralized exchange infrastructure.
The launchpad’s growing activity and fee generation have helped drive demand for its native PONS token.
PONS Reaches Record High Above $0.68
PONS traded above $0.68 on Friday, setting a new all-time high and extending its price-discovery phase.
The token has experienced parabolic growth as activity on the Pons launchpad has increased. Uniswap’s reported investment may further strengthen expectations of deeper cooperation between the two projects, although no additional partnership details have been announced.
Rapid price appreciation also increases volatility risk, particularly while PONS trades without established historical resistance levels.
UNI Rally Holds Above Major Moving Averages
Uniswap’s UNI token traded near $6.30 on Friday, extending its latest bullish move.
The token remains comfortably above its major daily exponential moving averages (50-day EMA: $4.2640, 100-day EMA: $3.9145, and 200-day EMA: $4.0034).
This positioning supports a broadly bullish technical structure, with the moving averages potentially providing layered support during a pullback.
Momentum indicators remain positive but increasingly stretched. The daily Relative Strength Index stands near 81, placing UNI deep in overbought territory. While that reading reflects strong buying pressure, it also raises the possibility of consolidation or profit-taking.
Meanwhile, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator continues to rise above its signal line and the zero level, suggesting bullish momentum has not yet faded.
UNI’s next major resistance is the December 28 swing high at $6.5690. A confirmed daily close above that level could establish a new annual high and extend the rally toward the 127.2% Fibonacci extension at $8.7227.
The bullish scenario depends on buyers sustaining momentum despite the elevated RSI. Failure to clear $6.5690 could result in consolidation below resistance.
On the downside, initial support is located around the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement at $5.2554. Further selling could bring the 50-day EMA at $4.2640 and the 200-day EMA near $4.0034 into focus.
