So, here’s the scoop: Wintermute, a market-making giant in the crypto world (aka the person everyone blames when things go south), is suspected of being behind Pump.fun’s PUMP token. How do we know? Well, on-chain data, duh. We’ve got test transfers like a cryptic treasure hunt leading straight to them ahead of PUMP’s big debut in the open market.
Wintermute is that friendly neighborhood market maker you’ll find making sure the crypto waves don’t crash too violently. And guess what? They’re apparently helping PUMP tokens strut their stuff onto the market, all thanks to Pump.fun, a Solana-based memecoin launchpad. It’s like watching a kid on a leash—everyone’s doing their best to keep the hype train from going off the rails.
On-chain sleuth @ai_9684tpa (someone give them a cape) found a 10 PUMP token transfer heading straight to a Wintermute wallet. Now, we’re left wondering: is Wintermute just there for the party, or are they secretly the bartender making sure everyone has enough liquidity to keep dancing? Well, more transfers are expected, so let’s all stay tuned, shall we?
Now, get this: the 48-hour window after the public sale kicks off tonight at 10 p.m. sharp (get your popcorn ready). It’s like a time-sensitive crypto thriller. The token’s TGE (Token Generation Event, not a new K-pop group) is expected to hit between 10 p.m. tonight and 10 p.m. tomorrow. Mark your calendars!
Speaking of the public sale, let’s talk about that $500 million raise in 12 minutes. That’s right, you heard me: 12 minutes. It’s like crypto’s version of running a marathon in a single step. They raised all that cash by offering 125 billion tokens at $0.004 each, and—get this—this whole shebang is pegged at a $4 billion FDV (Fully Diluted Valuation). Someone’s been hitting the crypto gym!
And now, we wait. All the tokens that were bought are frozen, which basically means no one gets to do anything fun with them until July 14–15. It’s like waiting for your internet to buffer—agonizing, but totally worth it. Maybe.
But here’s the kicker: despite all this hoopla, Pump.fun’s original platform is kinda… slowing down. According to DeFiLlama (no, it’s not a new Netflix show), Pump.fun’s monthly volume has plummeted from $11.6 billion in January to a modest $3.66 billion in June. I guess it’s not all sunshine and pump tokens. Revenue took a hit too—down from $133 million to $34 million. Ouch.
Now, some crypto fanboys are ready to crown PUMP as the glorious return of ICOs and memecoins (yay, nostalgia), but others? Well, they’ve got their side-eye glasses on. They see the delayed token unlock and the mad dash for tokens as a little too *calculated*. Critics are saying this feels less like a decentralized fairy tale and more like a well-rehearsed liquidity ballet—no peasants allowed. It’s like the token got dressed in memecoin drag but forgot to invite anyone to the afterparty.
