Pump.fun to Launch PUMP Token ICO on July 12 to Fuel Decentralized Social Media Ambitions
Pump.fun, the popular Solana-based platform known for launching viral meme coins, is set to introduce its native PUMP token through an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) on Saturday, July 12. The move is part of Pump.fun’s broader plan to build a decentralized alternative to social media giants like Facebook, TikTok, and Twitch—aiming to create a space where attention translates into real financial value instead of just likes or followers.
PUMP Token ICO: Key Details
- Total Supply: 1 trillion PUMP tokens
- ICO Allocation: 33% of total supply
- Private Sale: 18% already allocated
- Public Sale: 15% available on July 12
- Token Price: $0.004 in both private and public rounds
- Token Unlock: All ICO tokens will be fully unlocked on launch day
The remaining distribution of the token supply includes:
- 24% allocated for community and ecosystem development
- 20% reserved for the core team
- 13% designated for investors

- Additional tokens directed toward a foundation fund, live streaming incentives, and a 2.4% ecosystem fund
How to Participate
Participation in the public sale requires Know Your Customer (KYC) verification, either directly through Pump.fun or via partner exchanges such as Bybit, Kraken, Bitget, MEXC, KuCoin, and Gate. However, due to regulatory restrictions, U.S. users will not be able to participate in the ICO.
A Platform on a Fast Track
Pump.fun has claimed record-breaking revenue growth, reaching $100 million, $300 million, and $500 million faster than any other company to date. This explosive success has been driven by its ability to rapidly launch meme coins linked to viral trends, earning revenue through token issuance fees and trading volumes. Pump.fun’s model has placed it at the center of Solana’s thriving meme coin market since early 2024.
