Arc Chain Launchpad Long addressed on-chain news concerns on X, confirming that stock tokens are 1:1 backed by assets held by Robinhood and redeemable via cross-chain vaults. The team attributed the lower token prices to a 2x premium on native USDC, expecting normalization after the mainnet and USDC cross-chain launch on September 16. The response did not address cross-chain bridge risks. Following Bonk Guy’s promotion of Long, the token launch triggered a 27x surge in market cap, with some wallets earning tens of thousands, though security concerns persist.

Mars Finance reports that on September 14, Arc Chain’s Launchpad Long posted on X to address community concerns regarding its project. It stated that stock tokens issued on Arc are 1:1 backed by actual stocks held in Robinhood, verifiable on-chain via a cross-chain vault, and可双向1:1兑换 with Robinhood Chain. Longdotsupply will serve as the permanent issuer of these cross-chain stocks, eliminating the need for holders to migrate their tokens in the future. Additionally, the official attributed the low stock prices on Arc to a roughly 2x premium on native on-chain USDC, and stated that the premium would normalize after the Arc mainnet and USDC cross-chain bridge open on September 16, at which point liquidity will be added to CRCL/USDC. However, the tweet did not address other concerns regarding potential risks in the underlying protocol of its cross-chain bridge. Today, renowned crypto KOL Bonk Guy promoted Arc Chain’s Launchpad Long, causing its market cap to surge 27x in a short time; several wallets that positioned themselves a day earlier recorded paper profits of hundreds of thousands of dollars, while multiple community members raised concerns about significant security vulnerabilities within the protocol.
