The CLOSE cat standing in a padded cell. To the right, a door glows green and two green bears peek in.

The door was never lockedThey took the button

Five years later Robinhood put GameStop on its own chain and said nobody can halt trading there
$CLOSE lives on that chain, in that pair, and pays out in that stock
The network is the lore

Why this holds when the chart doesn't

  • Everyone knows the story

    A movie, a Congressional hearing, a record fine
    Nothing to explain

  • There is a villain

    13 million people could only sell
    The dump wasn't chosen, it was the only button left

  • The link is physical

    Same chain, same stock, same issuer
    Can't be forked to another network

  • Robinhood keeps feeding it

    Their founder called that day a market failure, then put GME on his own chain
    Every post about free trading is free marketing

  • Paid in GME, not in vibes

    A weekly number that grows with volume, whatever the chart does
    A reason to hold when it's red

  • Holders move the story

Questions people actually ask

Longer answers are in the docs

What is $CLOSE?

$CLOSE is a meme token on Robinhood Chain, Robinhood's own L2, launched through pons and paired to GME, the tokenized GameStop stock. You buy it with GME, you sell it for GME, and every trade pays a creator tax in GME that goes to holders. The name comes from Position Closing Only, the status Robinhood put on GameStop on 28 January 2021

Where does it trade?

On Robinhood Chain through pons, against GME. The only contract address is the one on this site; anything else with the same name and picture is not $CLOSE

What do holders actually get?

The creator tax on every $CLOSE buy and sell, collected in GME by pons and paid out to holders by balance. It is a number that grows with volume, not with price, and it is posted weekly on the Holders page

Is CLOSE affiliated with Robinhood or GameStop?

No. CLOSE is built on Robinhood Chain the way anyone can build on a public network. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Robinhood Markets, GameStop or pons

Is this financial advice?

No. It is a meme token. It can go to zero. The GME paid to holders depends on trading volume and can be small or nothing in a quiet week
