Tokenized stocks: the copies are already here

522 tokens on Arc already call themselves an "xStock" and 522 of them have a fixed 1,000,000,000 supply, though as far as the chain shows no real xStock is on Arc yet (Argus announced them as "launching soon" on 1 Oct). Most copied: NVDAx (141), SPCXx (115), SPYx (44), GMEx (41), METAx (34), GLDx (22), MSFTx (19), QQQx (19). None looks like a real issuance yet. We watch for the real ones and add them when they land.

For agents and traders: every pool with its executable 100 USDC round trip, the price you would really pay per ounce against world gold, and the full list as JSON: GET /api/x402/arc-gold, $0.003 per call over x402 (USDC on Arc, Base or Solana). We watch for tokenized stocks (xStocks) and add them when they launch on Arc.

How: candidates are the exact gold tickers in our index of every Arc pool token; pools are our index of every Uniswap v4 pool on Arc; round trips are simulated on the latest block (buy then sell through the Arc launchpad router, nothing signed or sent); world gold is Chainlink XAU/USD read from Ethereum.
