$PONS launchpad token listed on Bybit Spot, with no volume and a claimed $21M September revenue
Crypto News reports $PONS listed on Bybit Spot with no recorded trading volume, a claimed $21M September revenue, and an 11% bounce after a 27x rally.
Why it matters
The listing gives a Robinhood-chain launchpad token a venue on Bybit, and the $21 million revenue claim, if accurate, would place PONS among the more active memecoin launchpads alongside platforms such as LONG. Every figure comes from one aggregator whose price and volume numbers disagree with each other, so nothing here is confirmed and the significance of the launch is limited until an independent source reports it.

What happened
Crypto News reported that $PONS, the native token of the Pons memecoin launchpad on the Robinhood blockchain, is now listed on Bybit Spot, in an announcement the outlet attributed to the account @Bybit_Official. It said $PONS reaches the market through a fair launch and can be paired with ETH, USDG and Robinhood stock tokens. The same outlet put September 2026 revenue for the launchpad at $21 million, coming from trading fees shared with creators and a token buy-and-burn, and named LONG as a competing platform that pairs memecoins with Robinhood stock tokens. A third Crypto News piece described $PONS rising 11% on Tuesday while still trading below $0.8, after a gain of more than 2600% between late August and early September followed by a 46% retracement. Two other pieces from the same outlet reported no recorded trading volume and $0 volume over 24 hours, which does not fit the price action described in its own coverage, and no outlet other than Crypto News has reported any of this.
