Just sitting in the office thinking about something—current stock market trends move fast, but on-chain assets might not keep up. ▶️ Obviously, when a company suddenly becomes the market focus due to earnings reports or new business, the community starts discussing it. But if there’s no corresponding on-chain stock asset, there’s no entry point for trading, liquidity, or Stock Memes around it. Sure, bStocks has already brought a batch of tokenized securities backed 1:1 by real stocks to the BNB Chain, but holding bStocks isn’t the same as directly owning the company’s stock. Just saw http://Four.Meme launch 4Stock, which fills the gap for popular stocks that don’t yet have corresponding bStocks. After users submit a USDC application, the platform purchases the underlying stock through a dedicated management account and mints 4Stock 1:1 based on the actual number of shares bought. This perfectly solves the gap issue. With this layer of assets, http://Four.Meme can use it as a Stock Meme liquidity pool, and wallets, DEXs, and DeFi protocols will have opportunities to build products around it. What I’m particularly interested in is this: when trending stocks have corresponding on-chain assets, the community’s narratives and developers’ applications will have something to connect to. ❗️❗️ Note: Minting is currently application-based and processed manually in batches, with a minimum application amount of 10,000 USDC equivalent and a 1% Mint Fee. In the future, once the corresponding bStock is launched, the documentation suggests introducing a 1:1 conversion path, but the specific rules and availability will depend on the situation at that time. This gap-filling approach is quite timely and user-friendly, giving more market-trending stocks a chance to go on-chain. Let’s see how the community and protocols utilize these assets in the future. @fourdotmemezh
