Pump.fun Pours $1.69 Million into Tokens

The Solana-based memecoin launchpad has recently revealed that they are going to start a new non-profit called the Glass Full Foundation, and it is all about boosting the Solana memecoin scene.

The announcement, made on August 7, shows a fresh direction for the platform, which has been riding high on the recent memecoin explosion. 

According to the official announcement, Pump.fun says that it is basically a liquidity support program. It means it will handpick the most promising, community-backed memecoins on Solana and pump cash into them to help them grow. 

This program comes hot on the heels of Pump.fun’s insane $500 million token sale, which sold out in just 12 minutes. Now, they are taking some of that cash and reinvesting it into the Solana memecoin world. 

Meme Coins Pumping Instantly 

The market did not wait around to react. Almost immediately after the news broke, FARTCOIN shot up 13% to $1.02, while Pump.fun’s main token saw its market cap jump over 4% to $4.26 million. 

Digging into the numbers, the foundation has already spent $1.69 million propping up several tokens. TOKABU, which rocketed 40% overnight to $0.039, and HOUSE, which hit a one-month high of $0.035.

Pump.fun’s ICO Debut

Pump.fun’s PUMP token made crypto history with one of the biggest ICOs ever, pulling in a jaw-dropping $500 million in just 12 minutes after launch. 

The token debuted at $0.004 each, instantly giving it a fully diluted valuation of $4 billion. Initially, the hype sent prices soaring to $0.0068, but then whales cashed out heavily, causing PUMP to crash by 67% in short order.

Now, after weeks of slow recovery, PUMP is finally crawling back toward its ICO price. But every time it gains momentum, big holders dump more, keeping a lid on any major rally. 

With whales still controlling the game, traders are already hunting for the next big opportunity.

Pump.fun’s Comeback and the Whales Bailing Out

On paper, Pump.fun is stronger than ever—it’s now the #1 Solana meme coin launchpad, hosting 65% of the chain’s 27,500 daily token launches. More projects mean more demand for PUMP, since creators use it to pay fees and grab rewards.

But behind the scenes, whales are fleeing. One big player, @ParallelAiRev, just closed all his PUMP long positions, banking $1.5 million in profits—topping Hyperliquid’s 30-day PUMP trading leaderboard.

Even Pump.fun’s massive $19M buyback (118,000 SOL spent on 3 billion PUMP tokens) hasn’t been enough to stop the bleeding. Sure, fewer tokens in circulation should mean higher prices, but PUMP is still down 53% this month, proving that organic demand is weak.
