Pons adds support for stock tokens such as Intel, Boeing, Rocket Lab, and more as new issuance token liquidity pools
BlockBeats message. On September 11, Robinhood’s share-meme-coin issuance platform Pons announced that the platform has added stock tokens SNOW, RCAT, SEWY, LMT, INTC, NET, BA, GLXY, RKLB, and CEG as new issuance token liquidity pools. Meme coin-stock (Stock Meme) is an emerging玩法 that directly combines traditional meme coins with tokenized US stocks: instead of being paired with USDT or ETH, meme coins form trading pairs directly with on-chain US stock tokens (such as NVDA, TSLA, AAPL, etc.). This preserves the high-volatility, community-driven speculative nature of meme coins while also riding on the popularity and narratives of real stocks. Trading fees often partially flow back to community treasuries to accumulate the corresponding US stock tokens, creating a dual-motor model of “sentiment speculation + real-asset anchoring.”

Robinhood is trading fruit flies; Solana is trading cats
As the only truly innovative narrative so far, the US stock meme style is still ongoing. As for new innovation, there isn’t much—mainly, under different narratives, the underlying assets are competing for attention. First look at the Robinhood chain. On September 3, (Cell) posted a paper: a group of people mapped a male fruit fly’s central nervous system from beginning to end as a diagram. It has 167,000 neurons and 124 million connections, and the map has been released as open source. So developers treat it like a huge biological-source neural network and run it—exactly how it’s run is a bit too technical to understand clearly. In simple terms, they give this diagram eyes and hands. Then some fruit flies play games, while others trade crypto.

CLARITY Act: Only 60 votes left to become reality—market odds put it at 17%
At 2:15 p.m. on September 15 (Eastern Time), the U.S. Senate will vote on a bill. This vote doesn’t determine whether it becomes law; it only determines whether the senators can begin formal discussions about it. But it’s very likely to be the end of this bill. To get past this hurdle, it needs 60 votes in favor. The Republicans hold 53 seats. The bill’s full name (the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act) is H.R. 3633. It has only one job: to clarify whether a token falls under the SEC or the CFTC. This has been debated for 10 years. In July 2025, the House passed it 294–134, with 78 Democrats voting in favor. Then it got stuck in the Senate for 14 months.
