Is Pump.fun’s PUMP Token Finally Launching? Everything You Need to Know!

Jakarta, Pintu News – Pump.fun may finally launch its own token – or maybe not.

Earlier this week, a listing quietly appeared on the Gate.io exchange, featuring details of a public sale for the long-rumored PUMP token, scheduled to take place on July 12-15.

It looked like confirmation that the memecoin launchpad would be holding its first official token sale. But then, the page quickly disappeared.

Now the crypto community is left wondering. Is this an initial leak, a marketing mistake, or something more complicated?

What is Pump.fun?

Launched in January 2024 by an anonymous creator named Alon, Pump.fun is a Solana-based no-code platform that allows anyone to launch and trade memecoins in just minutes.

The platform uses a bonding curve model, where the token price increases as the number of purchases increases, maintaining transparency and fairness in the system.

Once a token reaches a market capitalization of $69,000, it will be listed on Raydium, and a portion of its supplyburned to support price growth. There is no pre-sale or special access-every launch starts from scratch.

After a quiet start, Pump.fun took off. From just 1,500 tokens in February, the platform grew rapidly to almost 2 million tokens by the end of the year.

Pump.fun Token Launch Details

On July 8, Gate.io revealed details regarding the upcoming sale of the official PUMP token-a utility token linked to Pump.fun and its AMM protocol.

While use of the platform does not require PUMP tokens, they may provide benefits such as giveaways and other community rewards.

The following information is known:

• Sale Date: July 12, 2025 at 18:00 UTC to July 15, 2025
• Token Price: $0.004 USDT per PUMP
• Total Supply: 1 trillion PUMP
• Quantity Sold: 150 billion PUMPs (15% of total supply)

Pump.fun has not yet fundraised, and there is currently a countdown to the sale on Gate.io. The date of distribution and commencement of token trading is yet to be announced(TBD).

Gate.io Removes Launch Page

Just as enthusiasm began to peak, Gate.io suddenly pulled the token sale page, pouring cold water on the community’s excitement. No explanation was given initially, sparking confusion and speculation online.

“Deleted page just adds to the mystery. Will $PUMP still launch on July 12, or will there be another surprise?” wrote one user on X.

When asked for an explanation, Gate.io’s customer support gave a vague statement:

“Due to negotiations between Gate and project parties, Gate has removed Pump.fun Pre-Market OTC. At this time, there is no official date or announcement regarding its reopening.”

They also refer to a previous announcement from October 2024, when the platform stopped OTC trading support for Pump.fun.

So, is this just a minor annoyance or a sign of something bigger?
