PONS crosses half the book as big capital piles in; Bitcoin rips to 81K

The Robinhood rails keep re-rating — fees to $1.2M/day, ~$200M combined volume — while OSF adds a CZ-adjacent Binance puzzle trade and scopes an IMD liquidity experiment.

OSF opened on Bitcoin ripping toward 81K from sub-77K lows and called it the shakeout-and-send Manda predicted last Friday. His PONS position now sits at $1.7M — more than half of his $3.4M book, up from a $100K entry when the book was $1.5M — and he sees eight-figure Binance traders like Natchi rotating in as the token's liquidity matures. He is holding into the next leg rather than trimming early, waiting for a tier-one listing day to sell into size.

PONS: $1.2M daily fees, ~$200M in volume, and the 1.4x multiple he refuses to sell into

PONS fee capture has climbed from the 900Ks to $1.2M per day — a 30-40% jump — with 24,000 launches in 24 hours holding launch market share near 97% while every competitor sits under 300 launches. Volume now runs about $104M across exchanges (excluding Perch), roughly $50M of it on-chain swap pools, plus $83M on Hyperliquid perps alone and another ~$40-50M on Bybit — versus $2-3M a day a few weeks ago. The revenue multiple is still 1.4x, and OSF says he will only start trimming if it heads toward 2x; his play is to hold for the day PONS lists on Coinbase or Binance and does a billion-plus in volume, and sell into that risk transfer. He says buybacks are now automated and decentralized — a steady TWAP that runs forever.

ROBINHOOD stock +15%, up 33% in a month: on-chain revenue is the story

Robinhood stock jumped 15% on the day, good for +33% in a month and +58% in six months, and OSF reads the move as the market finally linking the stock to the on-chain revenue the ecosystem generates. He argues that linkage pushes Vlad's team to keep pouring effort in — a self-reinforcing loop for every Robinhood-chain token. HIMS, by contrast, is down 11% in five days, which he says is the only thing holding the BONER pair back.

The meme-stock racket: BONER is the front runner, and Bloomberg coverage is 'inevitable'

The BONER/HIMS on-chain versus NYSE gap

OSF calls BONER (the HIMS pair) his front-runner meme-stock pick and the funniest meme in the space — 12K holders in five days, and he notes HIMS trades at 132 on-chain versus 29 on the NYSE. He owns CamelToe (LULU, reporting earnings today) and Sailor Moon (MSTR, up 13% yet the coin barely moved), and argues a long weekend with no new stock minting leaves thin LPs ripe for squeezes. His bigger thesis: a Bloomberg-terminal top-story on these tokenized-stock manias is inevitable this month, and that mindshare event re-rates the whole complex.

MAX: a CZ-adjacent Giggle Academy puzzle trade at $12M — 3-5x if a $1M charity milestone lands

OSF bought a Binance-chain mascot coin launched on Flap (incubated by EZ Labs, owned by Binance) whose 3% buy/sell fees route to CZ's Giggle Academy kids' charity. The tell: the official Giggle account has quote-tweeted the coin's account multiple times, and roughly $700K in generated fees has already been donated — closing in on $1M, which he thinks could draw a CZ post. At a $12M market cap with no usual-suspect KOLs holding (only Moneylord, who flagged the Giggle Academy tweet puzzle), he sees a possible 3-5x toward the 50-100 range recent Binance coins like Nuuly and Mars Coin hit. Giggle's own market cap is now $37M, his benchmark for the trade.

IMD / 'Pull 4': a pool that trims excess inventory instead of dumping it

Explaining the IMD pool-trim mechanism

OSF walked through an IMD mechanism he initially had Claude explain to him: when a dump pushes a trading pool over its inventory cap, the pool trims the excess off the top — burning most of it, with a cut to stakers — instead of letting supply pile up and tank the price. He frames it as the project owning its own trading pool with a fixed LP that acts as a standing buy wall below market. He holds a small early position, wishes it were bigger after reading the mechanics, and shared the contract address on stream as one to watch.

Risk reads: BTC at 81.3K, payrolls Friday, and why ETH 3-4K would light up alts

Bitcoin still ripping into the close
Bitcoin still ripping into the close

OSF closed with Bitcoin still ripping at 81.3K and said a straight shot toward 100K would send the on-chain complex 'absolutely mental.' He flagged ETH as the alt trigger he is watching — a move to 3-4K (one smart contact he trusts calls 8-10K this cycle) would lift everything denominated in ETH, REX included. He has no Solana exposure and keeps calling it a market he avoids.
