PONS and XDP trading goes live on Kraken after listing notices
Kraken began trading PONS on September 25, 2026 and XDP on September 28, 2026, according to listing notices carried by Bitcoin Insider.
Why it matters
Two newly issued tokens reached Kraken's order book within three days of each other, giving holders of either a fiat on-ramp through that exchange. The listing itself rests on one low-authority aggregator, and the notices give no volume or liquidity data, so the significance beyond a routine exchange addition is limited.
Key facts
Kraken made PONS available for trading with funding and trading live as of September 25, 2026.

Kraken made XDP available for trading with funding and trading live as of September 28, 2026.
Reported by Bitcoin Insider
PONS is the ERC-20 token of pons, a launchpad on Robinhood Chain for creating and trading fixed-supply tokens.
Reported by Bitcoin Insider
PONS has a fixed supply of 1,000,000,000 tokens.
1,000,000,000 PONSReported by Bitcoin Insider
The pons protocol uses a share of protocol fees to buy PONS and send it to a burn address, permanently reducing circulating supply.
Reported by Bitcoin Insider
The pons interface is non-custodial, with each launch and trade submitted from the user's own wallet and pons holding no user funds.
Reported by Bitcoin Insider
XDP is described as the native utility and governance token of Doppler Finance, which describes itself as infrastructure for tokenized capital markets.
Reported by Bitcoin Insider
Both notices warn that deposits made on networks other than those supported by Kraken will be lost, and that Kraken App and Instant Buy trading begins only once liquidity conditions are met.

What happened
Bitcoin Insider published a notice saying PONS, the ERC-20 token tied to the pons launchpad on Robinhood Chain, is available for trading on Kraken, with funding and trading live as of September 25, 2026. A second Bitcoin Insider notice ten minutes later concerns a different asset: XDP, which the notice describes as the native utility and governance token of Doppler Finance, with trading live as of September 28, 2026. The PONS item states a fixed supply of 1,000,000,000 tokens, says the protocol uses a share of protocol fees to buy PONS and send it to a burn address, and describes the interface as non-custodial with pons holding no user funds. Both notices carry the same conditions: deposits on networks Kraken does not support will be lost, Kraken App and Instant Buy trading waits until liquidity conditions are met, and geographic restrictions may apply. Neither notice quotes a Kraken spokesperson or links to a Kraken statement, and the token descriptions come from the projects themselves, so the desk has a single aggregator outlet behind every claim here.
