Pons stock pairs turned a memecoin launchpad into a tokenized-stock playground. Instead of quoting a new token against ETH, a creator can quote it against Nvidia, Tesla, or the S&P 500.

This guide explains the mechanics in plain English.What Are Pons Stock Pairs?Pons stock pairs are token launches whose main trading pool is quoted in a tokenized stock instead of ETH. A creator picks an approved stock token as the quote asset. From then on, every buy and sell of…
