On Saturday, pump.fun, a Solana -headquarters platform that allows users to Bloomberg This figure carries the total increase of the platform to the amazing amount of $ 1.32 billion, after downloading 180 billion tokens to private investors at the same price of $ 0.004 per touch.
The sale is among the largest initial coins offers (ICO) in the history of cryptography.
Pump.Fun announced the agreement in X (previously Twitter) on July 9, while adding that the investors of the United States and the United Kingdom were not eligible, presumably to avoid the regulatory drama, despite the clemency of the White House towards the industry and the President Donald Trump Trump tangle With Memecoins.
Founded in 2024 by Alon Cohen, Noah Tweedale and Dylan Kerler, Pump.Fun has become a income machine and memecoin factory. According to reports, the platform has generated almost $ 800 million in revenues since its launch by allowing retail merchants to turn and exchange joke to whim per whore.
Memecoras, Crypto tokens often shocked around memes, famous people or the Internet inside the jokes, have continued to attract speculative effective despite their usefulness and trend often limited to falling into the price. Trump’s official currency (TRIUMPH)For example, he has recently been quoting close Annual minimums.
The meteoric ascent of Pump.fun occurs in the midst of a broader resurgence of the collection of ICO -style funds, which had gone out largely after the 2018 bubble and the subsequent offensive of values and changes in the former president of the SEC, Gary Gensler.

For now, bomb tokens can be negotiated between 48 and 72 hours after the end of the sale, according to the July 9 update of the company in X.
The decision to celebrate a tokens sale has not arrived without criticism. Cohen previously called “scams” presals, a position that some in the community now see as contradictory.
