Pump.fun Plans $1B Token Sale on Solana
Pump.fun, a platform revolutionizing the Solana ecosystem, is reportedly planning to raise $1 billion by selling tokens, achieving a $4 billion valuation. These tokens will be available to both public and private investors, though the exact date and location for the launch remain unconfirmed. Having debuted in early 2024, Pump.fun has quickly become integral to Solana's memecoin launches, contributing significantly to network revenue. Despite a peak daily revenue of over $7 million on January 23, it has settled to about $1 million. The platform employs a bonding curve strategy for pricing tokens based on their supply and demand. Initially, reaching a market cap of $69,000 led tokens to transition to Raydium, a decentralized trading platform. However, the launch of Pump's own market maker, PumpSwap, led Raydium to introduce a competing service, LaunchLab. Pump.fun also restored its live-streaming feature after addressing content moderation issues. The Block, an independent crypto news outlet, disclosed its financial affiliations and maintains its objectivity.
