TL;DR
- Pump.fun’s PUMP token sale runs July 12–15, offering 150 billion tokens at 0.004 USDT each (15% of the 1 trillion supply) with no max cap, implying a $4 billion valuation.
- The Solana memecoin launchpad that once pulled in over $7 million daily is transitioning from facilitator to ecosystem stakeholder by issuing its own utility token.
- Early buzz has lifted SOL prices, as traders anticipate airdrops, revenue-sharing, and governance perks while bracing for the usual memecoin volatility.
Pump.fun, the Solana-based memecoin factory that let loose thousands of token launches in 2024, is gearing up to drop its own native coin. Called PUMP, the utility token will be available for public sale on July 12 through Gate.com and the Pump.fun website. Backers will be able to grab 150 billion tokens at a rock-bottom 0.004 USDT each, representing 15% of the total 1 trillion supply. The 72-hour, first-come, first-served event promises no hard cap on individual orders, only a modest minimum buy.

From No-Code Launchpad to Token Creator
Launched early last year, Pump.fun turned Solana into a memecoin playground, automating token creation with zero fees, zero code requirements, and a bonding-curve pricing model. By January 2025, daily revenues peaked above $7 million, driving cumulative earnings past $700 million.
Despite a recent slowdown to about $1 million a day, Pump.fun remains Solana’s go-to for memes and community-driven crypto experiments. Now, with PUMP on the horizon, the platform shifts from enabler to stakeholder.
Inside the PUMP Public Sale
The PUMP token sale kicks off at 3PM UTC on July 12 and will run until July 15, or until the 150 billion token tranche sells out. Each PUMP costs 0.004 USDT, resulting in a total project valuation of $4 billion. Buyers need only meet a minimum purchase threshold to join; there’s no upper limit.
Tokens will be disbursed after the sale, with spot-trading listings to follow via Gate.com and other venues, specifics to be announced on Pump.fun’s official channels.
Community Hype and Market Ripples
Social media has lit up ahead of the sale, as traders anticipate a fresh utility layer for Pump.fun’s ecosystem. Early buzz pushed Solana’s native SOL price up nearly half a percent within hours of the announcement. Fans hope PUMP will unlock perks, think exclusive airdrops, promotional giveaways, or priority access to new launch mechanics, while skeptics caution on potential volatility in a nascent memecoin market.
What’s Next for Pump.fun
In addition to the public sale, the team is looking into optional revenue-sharing for PUMP holders and further integration with Pump.fun’s automated market maker protocol. Governance features may come next, allowing token holders to vote on new platform upgrades.
