Pump.fun, the memecoin launchpad in the Solana ecosystem, has launched a mobile app compatible with iOS and Android devices.
This new app allows users to manage their memecoins more easily from their phones. Through the app, users can buy, sell, and create tokens for free, significantly improving the platform’s accessibility. Additionally, users can organize and track their investments using personalized watchlists, all from an intuitive interface designed to provide a simple user experience.
The app launch is a strategic move by Pump.fun to attract a larger user base seeking to quickly and easily trade memecoins. However, the platform has been hindered in the UK.
Pump.fun is Banned in the UK
Due to warnings issued by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) regarding potential scams and Pump.fun operating without proper authorization, the app will not be available to residents of the UK. The FCA alerted UK users about the risks of using the service, as it may be operating outside the legal framework.
Despite these regulatory issues, the platform remains a key player within its niche. Since its launch, Pump.fun has attracted a large number of users, achieving significant daily transaction volumes. In its first year of operations, it reached $15.5 million in transaction volume, and as of February 2025, it has surpassed $7 million in transactions in a single day. Its success is demonstrated by the high demand for memecoins and users’ trust in the platform, despite its legal and regulatory issues.
In the United States, Pump.fun has also faced similar lawsuits over intellectual property infringements and potential violations of securities laws. Nevertheless, it remains one of the most relevant platforms in the memecoin market
