Pump.fun launched in early 2024, creating significant retail interest by limiting token supply during its ICO and implementing a 72-hour transfer lock. The platform's design allows rapid participation, processing $448 million directly on Solana during a $500 million sale. After a successful launch, Pump.fun has announced acquisitions and buybacks aimed at ecosystem expansion and justifying a $4 billion valuation. By July 2025, the launchpad initiated its own token, representing a vast portion of Solana token launches and popularizing meme coins without requiring coding skills.
Pump.fun's ICO offered 125 billion PUMP tokens, with only 12.5% of the total supply available, resulting in a $500 million sale completed in under 12 minutes.
Over 10,000 wallets participated in the sale, with a staggering $448 million processed directly on Solana, showcasing the platform's rapid speed and low fees.
The initial coin offering strategically intensified retail FOMO by locking transfers for 72 hours, driving a massive influx of investors eager to join the speculation.
Pump.fun became the leading platform for launching Solana-based meme coins, capturing about 71% of all token launches by late 2024.
