$PUMP ICO Launching July 12 – The Future of Social on Solana

The countdown is officially on! On Saturday, July 12th, $PUMP—the revolutionary new native token of the Pump Fun ecosystem—is launching through a highly anticipated Initial Coin Offering (ICO). This isn’t just another crypto launch; it’s a bold step toward redefining social media and finance on the Solana blockchain.

Official Announcement

As confirmed in the official announcement on X by Pump Fun, the $PUMP ICO will open at 14:00 UTC on July 12th. The team encourages everyone interested to complete KYC verification ahead of time on their official platform or any of their partner exchanges to participate seamlessly in the token sale.

What Is $PUMP?

Since its inception in January 2024, Pump Fun has been on a meteoric rise, quickly becoming the fastest growing company in history by enabling anyone, anywhere, to create and trade tokens effortlessly. With revenues hitting $100 million, then $300 million, and $500 million faster than any company before, Pump Fun has proven its potential—but this is just the beginning.

$PUMP is the official token designed to power the entire Pump Fun ecosystem. It’s built to reward the community, incentivize innovation, and help the platform scale to new heights.

The Vision: Kill Facebook, TikTok, and Twitch—On Solana

Pump Fun is on a mission to replace today’s dominant social media platforms with a decentralized alternative that gives back to its users rather than just taking. Imagine a platform where creators, traders, startup founders, and everyday users can tap into a global network of instant money and attention. $PUMP is the key to unlocking that future.

By leveraging the speed and scalability of Solana, Pump Fun aims to disrupt Facebook, TikTok, and Twitch with a social experience that prioritizes user ownership, rewards, and genuine community value.
