📅 Tomorrow: Robinhood Markets is reporting Q2 earnings live on July 29 at 5:00 PM ET / 2:00 PM PT on X, YouTube, in-app, and at https://t.co/llL7qN2nEf.
Watching $SHIB move over the last two days has me even more bullish that the OG culture is making its way back to this industry.
I also think this benefits the OG memes as a whole.
SHIBA INU HAS RALLIED 36% — BUT WHY?
$SHIB has suddenly exploded higher, with South Korean traders appearing to drive the move.
The interesting part?
There has been no major announcement, partnership, or catalyst behind the rally.
While SHIB has surged, other major dog-themed tokens have not seen the same move.
The majority of trading volume is reportedly coming from South Korean exchanges, making this one of the more unusual crypto rallies to watch.
Is this the start of a larger move, or simply a short-term surge driven by speculation?
We’ll be watching closely.
I said this over the weekend.
$DOGE and $SHIB still own over half of the entire meme market.
Until someone flips their all-time high market caps, they’re still the standard every meme should be measured against.
$PEPE came the closest, and maybe another project will eventually do it.
Until then, the OGs still run this shit.
Builder of the week: @ponsdotfamily
Launchpads are one of the fastest-growing markets on Robinhood Chain.
@ponsdotfamily gives Robinhood traders a place to launch tokens, ape early, graduate markets, and earn from the volume they create.
Pons lets anyone launch fixed-supply tokens, with every transaction submitted through the user’s own wallet.
The product has scaled fast:
> $200M+ all-time volume
> 157K+ tokens launched
> 2,258 graduated tokens
> $5M+ creator earnings
Pons v2 is bringing trading fee payouts in ETH, USDG, and RWAs for creators and CTO operators.
That gives builders cleaner ways to earn from the markets they create.
More volume creates more creator earnings.
More earnings bring more builders.
More builders create more launch markets.
Pons is becoming one of Robinhood Chain’s main launch engines.
LATEST: 📊 Robinhood Chain generated $25M in application fees over the week ending July 24, ranking 3rd behind Ethereum's $45M and Solana's $39M, per CryptoRank.

Shiba Inu Approaches Six Year Milestone With Fresh Momentum
Shiba Inu $SHIB is set to turn six on Aug. 1, marking six years since the memecoin launched on Ethereum in 2020.
The project shared an early photo taken just 17 days after launch, saying the website was still under construction and few expected what SHIB would become.
The milestone comes after SHIB climbed about 10% over the past week, making it one of the best performing tokens among the top 30 by market capitalization.
