Introduction

In two months, this chain has produced three leading assets with completely different paths: the cat coin CASHCAT, officially listed by Robinhood and currently holding $7.8 million; Artificial Inu, which topped the market cap list riding the narrative of Nvidia; and PONS, a launchpad token that rose from $0.03 to $0.49, a nearly 180-fold increase. Fortune and Decrypt have each written about them. This article reviews the rise of these three hits and presents a common conclusion: in the gold rush, the ones that rise the most are those selling shovels.

Key Points

• CASHCAT: Mid-July on-chain turnover of millions of dollars → 8/7 official listing on Robinhood → Arkham reveals official holding of $7.8 million → 9/2 market cap exceeds $280 million
• Artificial Inu: A representative of "coin-stock meme" paired with NVDA stock token, with a market cap of approximately $280 million at the top
• PONS: Launchpad platform coin, increasing about 18,000% from July to early September, market cap exceeding $500 million on 9/4, daily usage fees $5.95 million
• Signals in the primary market for the launchpad battle: Memecoin.fun raised $3.5 million; number of tokens issued on-chain surpasses Solana to reach the top
• Common rule: The wealth effect of single Meme coins may rotate, but the issuance infrastructure continuously draws fees—shovels are worth more than gold

After two months since Robinhood Chain launched, several meme coins have emerged that are significant enough to enter the entire market's view. Their paths are different, but they all confirm the same thing: the distribution capability of this chain is real.

CASHCAT: From On-chain Meme to Official Listing

CASHCAT is the earliest to achieve scale. On July 12, 2026, a record showed a trader selling 15.04 million CASHCAT, valued at about $1.04 million; on August 5, an address starting with 0x3ad3 bought 16.02 million CASHCAT, worth about $1 million.

What really changed its nature was August 7—Robinhood launched $CASHCAT trading on its platform. A cat-themed meme born on its own chain was included in the main app by this licensed brokerage.

Furthermore, on August 13, Arkham's on-chain tracking revealed that Robinhood itself held about $7.8 million in CASHCAT. On September 2, CASHCAT's market cap broke $280 million, setting a new historical high.

Artificial Inu: AI Narrative + Nvidia Pairing

Artificial Inu follows the coin-stock meme route—pairing with NVDA stock token to build pools, capturing attention through Nvidia's AI narrative. According to early statistics from September, it ranked first on this chain's meme market cap list with about $280 million, followed closely by CASHCAT at about $254 million.

Its existence itself illustrates the appeal of coin-stock memes: the story of the meme no longer needs to be told from scratch; it can directly borrow the narrative of a real stock.

PONS: The Launchpad Token That Rose 180 Times

The most astonishing increase is PONS—platform coin of the token launchpad on Robinhood Chain. Starting at about $0.03 in July, it approached $0.49 by early September, with a cumulative increase of about 18,000%.

On September 4, the market cap of PONS token broke $500 million. On the same day, Uniswap Labs announced the purchase of PONS, and after the news was released, PONS surged by 17.5%, reaching a historical high of about $0.5242.

Supporting this valuation is real cash flow: daily usage fees for PONS reached $5.95 million. This figure ranks among the top in the entire crypto market.

The Token Issuance Factory Itself Became the Best Business

Looking at these three together, the pattern is clear: the one with the largest increase is not any single meme, but the tools producing the memes.

The same logic is reflected in the primary market—on July 25, 2026, Memecoin.fun based on Robinhood Chain completed a $3.5 million financing. On July 26, the number of meme coins issued by Robinhood's public chain surpassed Solana to reach the top.

In a gold rush, those selling shovels earn the most steadily. This chain has reenacted that saying once again.
