In recent cryptocurrency news, the trading volume on Pump.fun, a platform popular for meme coin launches, saw a significant 63% dip in February. This was primarily due to concerns over high-profile meme coin scams. Worryingly, the company had another setback following a series of scandals, causing an 80% plunge in their value. As a result, the future of this digital asset sector seems increasingly unclear.
A crypto trader tragically committed suicide, marking a new low for Pump.fun amidst these calamities. In a particularly striking incident, Pump.fun's X account was hacked, promoting a counterfeit PUMP Solana Meme Coin. Further aggravating the firm's critical security concerns, a second lawsuit has been filed against them.
Allegedly, the firm is also testing AMM Exchange, causing Raydium’s RAY token to dip by 25%. Amidst all this turmoil, crypto enthusiasts are questioning the merit and sustainability of altcoins compared to meme coins. Additionally, Pump.fun launched a mobile app for Solana meme coin trading, probably aiming to cash in on the ongoing meme coin craze. But with the ongoing scrutiny, it's uncertain if their endeavours will bear fruit.
Offshoots of Pump.fun such as Hard.fun and Charge.fun are emerging, offering different means and platforms to cash in on the current meme coin hype. Despite the surge in the meme coin trend, over 60% of traders lose money, suggesting a high-risk, speculative nature of this investment sector.
