PumpFun Announces PUMP Token ICO – Free Airdrop Coming Soon for Early Adopters

PumpFun shakes up the meme coin scene with a bold new play: the PUMP token ICO launches this week, followed by a high-visibility airdrop.

Get ready for the next speculative frenzy—just don’t mortgage your cat to ape in.

Active traders, mark your calendars. The project promises ‘fair distribution’ (whatever that means in DeFi) and the usual moon-shot rhetoric. Will it pump? Almost certainly. Will it dump? Ask your risk tolerance.

One thing’s certain: the degens are already lining up.

Participation in the public sale requires KYC through PumpFun’s platform or partner exchanges: Bybit, KuCoin, Kraken, Bitget, MEXC, and Gate.io. Notably, residents of the US and the UK are excluded from the sale due to crypto regulations in the regions.

PumpFun says it has over US$500 million in revenue since its inception. Its goal is to build a decentralized social platform that breaks the dominance of Facebook, TikTok, and Twitch. The team stated, “Our plan is to Kill Facebook, TikTok, and Twitch. On Solana.”

PumpFun’s post on X states that an airdrop is “coming soon”, though details on the timing and eligibility remain unclear.

The ICO aims to raise around US$600 million in public funds, putting PUMP on track for a US$4 billion fully diluted valuation. Tokenomics sets aside 24% of the max supply for community and ecosystem efforts, 20% for the team, 13% for investors, and the rest for liquidity, a foundation, and live-stream incentives.

With launch just around the corner, all eyes are now on whether PUMP can actually deliver on its bold promise to reshape social media.
