Questions
What is a tokenised stock?
A tokenised stock is a crypto token that tracks the price of a real company share, such as NVIDIA or Tesla. On pump.fun these are listed as "xStocks" on the Solana blockchain, so you can buy them with USDC straight from your wallet.
How much do I need to start?
You can buy as little as $2. You buy fractions of a share, so you don't need the full share price — in the example in this guide, the buy was just 10 USDC for NVIDIA.
What fees does pump.fun charge?
The fee is shown on the buy screen before you tap Submit. In our example it was 0.45%. Always check it before confirming, as fees can change.
What are Pre-IPO tokens?
Pre-IPO tokens track private companies that aren't on the stock market yet, like Anthropic, OpenAI and Anduril. They can be more volatile and harder to value than regular stocks, so only use money you can afford to lose.
Do I own the actual share?
No. You hold a token that follows the share price, not the share itself, so you usually don't get voting rights. Check the token's details in the app to see how it's backed.
Can anyone buy tokenised stocks?
Availability depends on where you live. Some tokenised stocks are not offered in certain countries, including the US. Check your local rules before you buy.
