Robinhood-linked crypto, stock, and meme coin issuance platform Pons announced that it has added new stock tokens SNOW, RCAT, SEWY, LMT, INTC, NET, BA, GLXY, RKLB, and CEG as base pools for its newly issued tokens. Stock Meme refers to an emerging concept combining traditional meme coins and tokenized US stocks: instead of pairing with USDT or ETH, meme coins now form trading pairs directly with on-chain US stock tokens (such as NVDA, TSLA, AAPL). This model retains meme coins’ high volatility and community-driven speculative attributes while leveraging the hype and narratives of real stocks. Additionally, a portion of transaction fees is returned to the community treasury to accumulate the corresponding US stock tokens, forming a dual-driven model of "sentiment speculation + real asset anchoring".

According to GMGN market data, the market capitalization of Commodity Market Exchange (CME), Robinhood’s on-chain token issuance platform, has exceeded $15 million, currently standing at $15.85 million, with a 14-fold increase in a single day.

BlockBeats reminds users that the relevant protocol is in its early stages, carries substantial uncertainty and high price volatility, so users should exercise caution with their investments.

Blockstream tweeted that it will not pay a ransom to retrieve the stolen Bitcoin from the Liquid Network, stating that unauthorized acquisition of assets and refusal to return them constitutes theft, not responsible disclosure or white-hat behavior. Blockstream added that if the stolen funds are not returned, it will cooperate with law enforcement agencies, exchanges, service providers, and forensics experts to track, recover the assets, and identify responsible parties through all legal means, emphasizing that Bitcoin transactions are transparent and relevant evidence will not disappear. Blockstream is the primary developer and technology provider of the Liquid Network. On September 7, the Liquid Network reported that approximately 4,000 BTC had been withdrawn by a white-hat hacker, prompting the sidechain to suspend operations.

Crypto KOL @StandartXBT has sparked a controversial claim after analyzing the code of Long.xyz, a Robinhood-linked on-chain platform for issuing coins, stocks, and meme coins, suggesting the platform may support tokenized 1x multi-order liquidity pools for OpenAI and Anthropic, with the related tokens backed by Lighter. However, as of press time, direct public minting of these tokens remains restricted, and they have not yet been officially added to Long.xyz’s platform directory.
