Uniswap launched Pools.Trade, a new token launchpad on Robinhood Chain. The platform offers two launch formats: Crowd Launch distributes tokens through a four-hour bidding process requiring a $10,000 fully diluted valuation minimum, whilst Instant Launch uses a bonding curve with no minimum threshold. All tokens start with a fixed supply of 1 billion and trade through Uniswap v4 pools with permanently locked liquidity. The platform charges 0.25% trading fees, with creators receiving 0.05% and the remainder automatically compounding into locked liquidity positions. Pools.Trade includes protections against snipers and bots. Crowd Launch's gradual bidding limits bundled purchases, whilst Instant Launch allows creators to buy during the launch block. Tokens are distributed through Uniswap's web app, wallet, and various integrations.

Uniswap Labs has introduced Permissioned Pools, a new hook standard for Uniswap v4 enabling compliant trading of regulated assets through automated market makers with onchain compliance enforcement. Launch partners include Superstate, Securitize, and Dowgo. The tokenised asset market is estimated to reach $11 trillion by 2030. Permissioned Pools use Uniswap v4 hooks to verify wallet approval before swaps or liquidity actions, with the pool itself checking an issuer-managed allowlist rather than relying on frontend gates or offchain compliance. The standard allows issuers to maintain required controls whilst accessing AMM liquidity and DeFi composability. Approved investors gain direct onchain trading for assets previously unable to trade on AMMs. Uniswap has processed over $4.5 trillion in volume and is used by institutions including BlackRock and Fidelity.
