Pump.fun Plans $1B Token Raise as It Prepares to Launch Its Own Token

Pump.fun is reportedly planning a massive token sale that could raise $1 billion and value the platform at $4 billion, according to multiple sources close to the deal. The move could turn the memecoin launchpad into crypto's next unicorn and shift the landscape for retail-driven token creation.

Insiders Say the Token Is Weeks Away

Three sources confirmed that the sale will target both private and public investors.
One X post teased the token could launch within the next two weeks, though no official launch date has been shared by the team.

Blockworks was unable to verify whether the token will be issued directly through the Pump.fun platform. The company did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

From Meme Gimmick to Billion-Dollar Infrastructure

Pump.fun started in early 2024 as a free token-launch platform built on Solana. It quickly exploded.
According to Blockworks Research, the platform has already generated over $700 million in cumulative revenue, with nearly 11 million tokens launched and a combined market cap around $4.5 billion.

This isn’t a toy anymore. It’s become the central engine of the Solana meme economy.

No Raydium, No Problem

As competition tightens between token launchpads, Pump.fun has rolled out strategic changes.
Its own automated market maker (AMM) replaced the original reliance on Raydium, cutting out middle layers and bringing liquidity management in-house.

The platform also dropped a new mobile app and reintroduced its live streaming feature, which had been paused in 2024 after content moderation complaints.

What This Means for Memecoin Traders and Solana Builders

If you’re launching tokens, running sniping bots, or building for the memecoin crowd, this token sale matters. A Pump.fun token could:

• Add staking mechanics or creator rewards
• Become the default liquidity pair across future launches
• Spark a new meta of token-fueled launchpad DAOs

Early positioning will matter. Wallet watchers and sniper bot operators are already tracking flow data across Solana. Traders already using tools like BananaGun are tracking wallet flows and token mints across Solana before launchpads announce them. Sniping volume, not narratives, is what moves early entries. This on-chain performance breakdown shows which bots are actually leading in execution, not just hype.

FAQ

Q: Is the $1B token sale confirmed?
Not officially. But three sources with knowledge of the deal confirmed the raise and valuation plans to Blockworks.

Q: Will the token launch on Solana?
That has not been confirmed, but given Pump.fun’s Solana-native infrastructure and user base, Solana is the expected chain.

Q: What happens if the token powers platform fees or staking?
It would likely drive demand among creators and traders who want platform utility or early access. Expect volatility.

Final Word:
Pump.fun is more than just a viral tool for launching jokes. With $700M in revenue and a $4B valuation on the table, it’s now part of the financial plumbing of Solana's memecoin boom. If you're not watching its token rollout, you’re already late to the trade.
