Pump.fun Makes Power Move: Snags SOL-Based Wallet Tracker Kolscan Ahead of Hotly Anticipated Token ICO

Pump.fun just turbocharged its ecosystem—acquiring Kolscan, the go-to tracker for Solana wallets, in a strategic play ahead of its token launch. The move signals aggressive expansion as DeFi's meme coin darling positions itself for the next bull run.

Why it matters: With Kolscan's on-chain analytics now in-house, Pump.fun gains real-time visibility into SOL whale movements—perfect timing for capitalizing on retail frenzy during their upcoming ICO. Because nothing pumps a token like FOMO and a well-timed acquisition.

The cynical take: Another day, another crypto project buying infrastructure instead of building it. At least they skipped the 'partnership' charade and went straight for ownership—efficiency worthy of Wall Street's playbook.

“You do it with your friends and compare yourself to the best,” he added. “More importantly, the success of the projects you invest in are often determined by the kinds of people that are involved, when they got in, how much conviction they have, etc.”

Additionally, as a part of the integration, Cohen said that all Kolscan services will be offered for free. Further, the platform has already amassed “tens of thousands” of users ahead of the acquisition announcement.

“We look forward to integrating Kolscan’s products, making them a CORE part of our push to building crypto’s social media platform that can scale to the billions.”
