Uniswap Expands DeFi Ecosystem with Pools.trade Launchpad
Uniswap has expanded its DeFi ecosystem with the launch of Pools.trade, a new launchpad platform operating on Robinhood Chain. The platform allows users to create, discover, and trade tokens from a single interface.
Pools.trade offers two types of token launches: Crowd Launch, which takes four hours, or Instant Launch, where tokens finalize in Uniswap v4 pools with permanently locked liquidity.
The launch coincided with high speculation around the platform, driving violent price swings for tokens such as $FRONG and $POOLS. Some traders treated these assets as early plays tied to the launchpad, while others expressed concerns about their legitimacy.
On-chain data suggests that Uniswap's token supply on exchanges dropped 15.7% over the past month, while the price rose approximately 47% since July 2026. This decline in exchange supply alongside rising prices indicates lower selling pressure and a firmer holder base.
