Stocks

Available stocks

They sit under the Stocks tab, in the pair step of the form. Depth is what the depth test measured. It's checked again, live, at every launch.

How it works

There is no middleman. A tokenized stock on Base is a token with its own market, mostly on Aerodrome. A launch pairs with it exactly like with USDC:

• Your coin's pool is your coin / NVDAc on Uniswap v4, opened by the launch like any other.
• Buying with ETH: the ETH is swapped into the stock on its market, then into your coin, in one transaction. Selling does the reverse and pays out in ETH.
• Your fees arrive in the stock itself (NVDAc, …). Hold it, or sell it for ETH on its market.

Two families

• Coinbase stocks (NVDAc, AAPLc, …, addresses starting 0xb2…) are issued by Coinbase on Base, one token per stock. They're a Base native token type: the Base node serves them itself instead of ordinary contract code. That's why the explorer shows almost no code.
• ST0x stocks (wtCOIN, wtSPYM, …) are wrapped stocks and ETFs issued by ST0x as standard ERC-20s.

The issuer decides who can hold, redeem or trade each one. HookFun doesn't. Read their terms before you pick one as a pair.

Good to know

• The exchange closes, these tokens don't. Outside US market hours, the token keeps trading on-chain, and its price can drift from the last close.
• Stocks without a market aren't listed. Hundreds of tokenized stocks are deployed on Base, most with no market at all. Anything not on the list can still be pasted by address, against the higher bar.
