The platform for creating meme tokens, Pump.fun, has officially announced the launch date for its first token, PUMP, which will take place on July 12, 2025. The Initial Coin Offering (ICO) will be held on major centralized exchanges, including Bybit, Kraken, Bitget, and MEXC.
📌 Key Offering Details
According to the published tokenomics, the total supply of the token will be 1 trillion PUMP. During the ICO, 33% of the total supply will be distributed:
- 18% will be allocated to institutional investors through private rounds,
- 15% will be sold in public offerings at a price of $0.004 per token.
The sale will last until July 15, or until all tokens are sold. However, residents of the USA and the UK will not be able to participate in the public sale.
🧩 Allocation of Remaining Tokens
The remaining 67% of the tokens will be allocated as follows:
- 24% to community initiatives and ecosystem support,
- 20% to the development team,
- 13% to investors,
- 4.4% to project funds,
- 3% for streaming initiatives,
- 2.6% for liquidity provision.
The Pump.fun team has not yet disclosed details of any airdrops or other community incentive mechanisms.
💰 Financial Results and Competition
According to DeFi Llama data, since its launch in January 2024, Pump.fun has generated approximately $715 million, with more than $35 million earned in the last month alone.
However, the platform now faces a strong competitor. On July 8, 2025, the launch of the new LetsBonk launchpad on the Solana network surpassed Pump.fun in both daily revenue and the number of tokens launched.
🔍 Context
Experts had already warned in May about the potential loss of dominance by Pump.fun as similar solutions emerge in the market. The launch of the PUMP token may be the platform’s attempt to solidify its position and engage the community in an increasingly competitive landscape.
Stay updated and be cautious: participating in ICOs comes with risks, and availability depends on jurisdiction.
