Odaily News: DeFi researcher Ignas posted on X platform stating that current stock and Meme coin narratives essentially depend on trading volume and transaction fees to function. If trading volume dries up, rewards and buybacks will also disappear, thereby weakening token-holding incentives and ultimately leading to sell-offs.He cited examples: STONK, PONS, and CASHCAT all use platform fees for token buybacks or burns; INDEX uses transaction fees to purchase tokenized stocks; ZCAT funds ZEC rewards through transaction taxes. Additionally, SHROOM reinvests fees generated by the LP network back into liquidity.Ignas used Coinbase's previous cycle as an example, noting that its quarterly trading volume dropped from $547 billion in Q4 2021 to $145 billion a year later, a decline of approximately 74%, and pointed out that Meme coin trading volume could see an even more pronounced drop after the hype fades. Therefore, directly extrapolating these projects' annual revenue or yield rates based on current high trading volume and fee levels may overestimate their sustainability.

Meanwhile, PONS's buyback wallet has now accumulated nearly $3 million in funds for continuous buybacks of PONS via TWAP, and the replenishment rate from fee income is currently outpacing the rate of buyback fund consumption.In addition, PONS's market share on Robinhood Chain recently hit an all-time high of 80%, maintaining between 75% and 80% for most of the past week.

Bonk Guy believes that despite the cooling of Robinhood Chain's overall hype, PONS's market share, token issuance volume, and revenue continue to climb, indicating that its dominance in the on-chain launchpad sector has been further consolidated.

Trader Loracle initiated a 3x short position on PONS on September 3, currently holding approximately 25.04 million PONS tokens valued at around $19.41 million at an entry price of $0.6553, representing 19% of Hyperliquid's total PONS open interest, with unrealized losses nearing $3 million, and continues to add to the position.
