THE $PONS FOUNDER JUST GAVE AWAY THE NEXT PHASE. I watched the full interview with Ozzy | 奥兹 🅿️. Here are the bullish takeaways: > $13.5B volume in just over 2 months > ~$100M ARR run rate, according to Ozzy > Uniswap bought $PONS and now provides engineering + marketing support > V2 pays creators in the paired asset instead of their own token, reducing creator sell pressure > V3 is coming with custom liquidity logic through Uniswap V4 hooks > new Pons web app rolling out through invites > iOS app comes next > launching tokens directly from iMessage + Telegram is planned > the treasury is funded for a long runway And the bigger thesis: Ozzy doesn’t see Robinhood Chain as just an RWA chain. He expects both sides to grow: TradFi assets + ETH-native speculation. That puts Pons right in the middle. > Stocks can become pair assets. > Memes bring the volume. > Creators accumulate ETH, USDG or tokenized stocks. > Uniswap gets the liquidity. > Protocol revenue keeps feeding back into $PONS. $13.5B in two months was the first version. The roadmap makes me much more interested in what Pons looks like six months from now.

Today on MCG $KARMA | Karma w/Amrix Karma started as a Solana neobank (USDC to IBAN, turning crypto into a real-world spendable balance), then evolved into a trading app with a social layer where users publish theses and get paid when others trade on them. He's now migrated to Robinhood Chain via Virtuals, relaunched the token on the ACF model, and committed 100% of swap revenue to the token for the first 90 days.

I sat down with the CEO and CoFounder of Robinhood, Vlad Tenev, to discuss a variety of topics after Robinhood's Gold Standard event. In the podcast, we discussed the early days of Robinhood and how the company grew, the economics behind Robinhood Gold's new 1% unlimited match on deposits, how Robinhood thinks of the credit market with their new 3% cash back card, international expansion, crypto, and more. This was one of the first long-form podcasts Vlad has sat down for in over 2 years, so was very grateful for him giving the time after one of the busiest weeks in history for the company following their Gold event. I hope you all enjoy and it helps give some more insights into what Robinhood is trying to build!
