Pump.fun has launched a new feature called Custom Pairs on Solana, allowing users to create tokens that trade directly against tokenized stocks, major cryptocurrencies, and metals. This innovation merges memecoin speculation with real-world assets in shared liquidity pools and ties PUMP token buybacks to trading volume, incentivizing higher activity. The tokens, issued by Backpack Securities, are redeemable 1:1 for underlying shares and transferable to traditional brokerages. However, concerns remain about the sustainability of trading volumes and regulatory challenges as crypto platforms push tokenized equities into 24/7 markets. The move follows recent disputes over tokenized stocks, highlighting ongoing tensions between crypto innovation and traditional market regulations.
