PONS rallies 35% after Uniswap Labs buy: Is DeFi season next?

Pons has delivered a series of positive developments since launching its token platform.

AMBCrypto previously reported that Pons generated over $5 billion within two months. Meanwhile, the platform’s daily Fees and Revenue continued to climb.

On the 3rd of September, Pons generated $6.4 million in Fees and $1.26 million in Revenue. Major exchanges also took notice as the platform gained wider recognition.

Binance Alpha added Pons [PONS] on the 2nd of September, making the token available for trading. The listing helped propel PONS to a new all-time high [ATH].

Why did Uniswap Labs buy PONS?

Riding this momentum, Uniswap Labs purchased PONS for what Pons described as “long-term alignment.” Pons disclosed the purchase through its X account on the 3rd of September.

Uniswap Labs later confirmed the transaction on X. The purchase connected two platforms with overlapping interests.

Pons V2 integrates Uniswap V4 hooks, strengthening their shared exposure to on-chain token launches. That relationship raised a wider question around whether launchpads are becoming strategic infrastructure for decentralized exchanges.

The purchase also sparked renewed conversations about a potential DeFi season.

Cryptoskull predicted the market could experience its biggest DeFi season since 2021. The analyst also described Ethereum ecosystem exposure as a trillion-dollar opportunity amid DeFi’s expansion.

However, PONS’s overheated market conditions may test whether that narrative can outlive the initial excitement.

Can PONS sustain its 35% rally?

PONS reached a new ATH of $0.75 before retracing toward $0.64. At press time, the token traded around $0.66 after gaining 35% on the daily chart.

PONS also entered CoinMarketCap’s top 100 with a $467 million market capitalization. Its Trading Volume reached $139 million during the same period.

Speculative activity climbed alongside the price.

Open Interest surged 64% to $74.8 million, while Derivatives Volume rose 63% to $308 million. That expansion showed traders were increasing their exposure during the rally.

Likewise, the Relative Strength Index [RSI] climbed to 91, placing PONS deep inside overbought territory. The True Strength Index [TSI] maintained its upward trajectory, supporting the prevailing bullish trend.

If demand holds, PONS could reclaim $0.70 and challenge its recent all-time high. Even so, an RSI reading of 91 could warn of buyer exhaustion. A loss of $0.60 may confirm that speculation moved faster than sustainable demand.

Final Summary

• Uniswap Labs purchased PONS as both platforms strengthened their connection through Uniswap V4 hooks.
• PONS surged 35% and reached a new all-time high of $0.75. PONS entered CoinMarketCap’s top 100 with a $467 million market capitalization.
