According to GMGN data, the Shiba Inu-themed stock-meme token INU paired with Apple on Robinhood Chain has surged to a market cap of over $15 million, hitting a new all-time high, with a 24-hour gain of 164% and trading volume of $3.5 million. INU leverages stock trading platform Robinhood, pairing with tokenized U.S. stock Apple (AAPL) as its liquidity pool, using the INU/AAPL trading pair to provide liquidity. BlockBeats Note: Stock Meme is an emerging concept that combines traditional meme coins with tokenized U.S. stocks. Instead of pairing with USDT or ETH, meme coins are directly paired with on-chain U.S. stock tokens (such as NVDA, TSLA, AAPL, etc.). This model retains the high volatility and community-driven speculative nature of meme coins while tying to the popularity and narrative of real stocks. A portion of transaction fees is often returned to the community treasury to accumulate the corresponding U.S. stock tokens, forming a dual-driven model of "sentiment speculation + real asset anchoring". BlockBeats reminds users that token prices are highly volatile, so investors should exercise caution.
