Pump.fun has announced the launch of Custom Pairs, a new feature allowing token issuances to be paired with tokenized U.S. stocks, mainstream crypto assets, and metals. The platform currently offers 93 quote assets, including 20 new additions such as Boeing, Alibaba, Costco, and Dell. Fee rules for Custom Pairs align with those of standard token launches, but 50% of this revenue will be allocated to a programmed PUMP token buyback and burn contract. Creators can select their paired asset at issuance, and must choose between a Creator Fee (0.05%–1%) or Cashback; fees are disbursed in the selected quote asset. The Creator Fee can be split among up to 10 addresses and supports CTO, though existing tokens cannot modify their paired asset. The platform also emphasized that tokenized assets are issued by third parties, and it does not provide stock or securities trading services.
