Imagine launching a memecoin, but instead of pairing it with ETH or USDC, you pair it with tokenized Apple stock. That’s essentially what Bankr just made possible on Robinhood Chain.

The AI-driven token creation platform introduced stock-paired tokens around July 20, giving users the ability to launch new tokens with liquidity pools quoted in Robinhood’s Stock Tokens. Think pairs like LEVE/AAPL or SPX690/SPY. It landed less than three weeks after Robinhood Chain’s public mainnet went live on July 1.

What Bankr actually built

Bankr isn’t just letting people trade tokenized stocks. What’s different is that it’s using those tokenized stocks as the quote asset in brand-new liquidity pools for freshly minted tokens. Instead of your new token’s value being measured against a stablecoin or ETH, it’s measured against a tokenized version of Tesla, Apple, or one of over 90 equities and ETFs available as Stock Tokens on Robinhood Chain.

Bankr’s own BNKR token launched with a $50K liquidity pool on the chain, serving as a proof of concept for the model.
