PUMP.FUN OPENS CUSTOM PAIRS, BRINGING MEMECOINS CLOSER TO TOKENIZED STOCKS
On Sept. 10, pump.fun launched Custom Pairs, allowing new memecoins to pair with tokenized stocks, indices, crypto and precious metals instead of SOL or USDC.
Through its partnership with Sunrise, pump.fun added 20 assets, including BA, BABA, COST, DELL, DJT, HIMS, IBM, JNJ, LMT, LULU, MGM, PFE, QUBT, RBLX, RDDT, RIVN, SHOP, SNAP and UPS. Combined with xStocks, the system now offers 93 quote assets.
Fees on the Bonding Curve and PumpSwap remain unchanged from regular tokens. Notably, 50% of revenue generated by Custom Pairs will automatically enter a smart contract for PUMP buybacks and burns.
Creators can choose a Creator Fee ranging from 0.05% to 1% per trade, or Cashback to return the fee to buyers. These rewards are paid in the quote asset itself. If a memecoin is paired with tokenized NVDA, for example, rewards can be paid in NVDA rather than SOL or USDC.
The feature has drawn criticism because of its timing. Custom Pairs arrives as Stonk gains attention with a similar model linking memecoins to multiple asset types, leading parts of the community to accuse pump.fun of following Stonk’s trend.
Stonk gained attention through ZCAT, a memecoin linked to ZEC. ZCAT once reached a market cap of about 183M USD before falling toward 91M USD. Each trade carries a 3% fee, with most of it used to acquire ZEC and distribute rewards to eligible ZCAT holders.
pump.fun has scale on Solana, while Custom Pairs makes the quote asset part of the fee and reward mechanism.
Expanding to 93 assets could give memecoins new narratives and economic models, but also adds complexity. Liquidity and real demand remain the key factors.
Is Custom Pairs a logical expansion for pump.fun, or simply a move following Stonk’s model?
