A Huge Surprise in the World of Solana.. Pump.fun is Preparing to Raise One Billion Dollars in the Largest Token Sale in the Meme Coin Sector!
The popular meme coin launch platform on the Solana network, Pump.fun, is set to launch a massive token sale worth up to one billion dollars, with a total valuation estimated at 4 billion dollars, according to an exclusive report published by Blockworks on June 3. While the official details remain unannounced, this news has caused a stir in the meme coin market, leading to a sharp decline in their prices.
According to the report, the upcoming funding round will include investors from both the public and private sectors, and is expected to kick off within the next two weeks, with no confirmed information about the token name or its minting method.
Pump.fun was founded in early 2024 and has achieved remarkable success with cumulative revenues exceeding 700 million dollars, launching over 11 million tokens and a market valuation of the ecosystem nearing 4.5 billion dollars. However, since January, the platform has experienced a noticeable slowdown in meme coin activity, negatively impacting its revenues.
In response, Pump.fun has launched a series of initiatives to strengthen its position, including a new mobile app and a decentralized trading platform, PumpSwap DEX, in addition to a profit-sharing system that grants developers 50% of trading fees.
