PUMP token surges to new highs, whales gamble in a life-and-death match
The token PUMP of Pump.fun has gone completely crazy these past two days, with the price breaking $0.008, and a 24-hour increase of 26%. Even more exaggerated is that the contract holding amount has exceeded $1 billion, this popularity is simply off the charts.
On-chain data shows that a big player is using 5x leverage to long 1.94 billion PUMP, with an unrealized profit of $7.36 million, which is quite a thrill. But on the other side, there's an unfortunate guy who is shorting 8.56 billion PUMP with 5x leverage and has already lost $35 million, likely nearing liquidation. This extreme showdown is too exciting, like watching two gamblers play Russian roulette.
Pump.fun is indeed impressive, occupying 84% of the Solana issuance platform, basically monopolizing it. However, the price of PUMP is obviously overheated, relying entirely on speculative sentiment to support it. This is how meme coins work; they rise without reason and fall even more irrationally. Retail investors entering the market now need to be careful, as the whales have made enough profit and could dump at any time. The market is this cruel; while some are drinking champagne at the top of the mountain, others are picking up the pieces at the foot. That said, this kind of excitement is also part of the charm of the crypto world; where in traditional finance do you find such opportunities for overnight wealth?
