Pump.fun’s Epic Crash AKA the Memecoin Circus Versus the Lawsuit Circus

-

Plucky Solana underdog named Pump.fun bursts onto the scene, armed with a wild dream of democratizing memecoin madness.

Creators flock in droves, pumping out 71,000 tokens daily, yeah, 14 million in total, while 48,000 fresh addresses light up the blockchain like a Vegas slot machine frenzy. Too good to be true?

Mooning prices before dumping on the little guys

Our hero thrives in the chaos, turning nobodies into overnight token tycoons. But shadows creep in.

Most of these digital darlings rug-pull straight to zero, leaving retail suckers holding the bag.

Whispers of insider shenanigans grow louder, like that creepy uncle at the family reunion who’s always got a “sure thing” tip.

Enter the courtroom. Retail warriors, scorched by billions in losses, sue Pump.fun, Solana Labs, and the whole crew.

Accusations fly high, liquidity scams, market imbalances, insiders snapping up tokens dirt-cheap on the bonding curve, then mooning prices before dumping on the little guys.

Capital Armageddon

The gut-punch? Pump.fun’s own system allegedly dooms 98.6% of those 14 million memecoins to oblivion, vaporizing $4-5.5 billion from traders’ pockets.

Leaked chats expose cozy coordination with Solana Labs for early buys, triggering RICO charges that hit like a cosmic hammer.

Oh, and PUMP token itself? Launched with fanfare, then yanked, top 10 holders clutching 70% like dragons hoarding gold.

And when the crash is coming, the ordeal strikes hard. Analysts reported that PUMP tumbled 80% from its $0.009 peak, cratering to $0.0018. Market cap? Slashed to $644 million amid capital Armageddon.

CoinGlass spills the beans, saying spot inflows explode to $24 million against $22.9 million outflows, netflow rocketing 144.88% to $1.09 million.

Futures? Sellers rule with $142.91 million outflows dwarfing $139.7 million inflows, netflow plunging to -$3.21 million. No bueno.

Oversold purgatory

Panic sells everywhere. Investors bolt like rats from a sinking ship, fearing the abyss. And the abyss stares back.

Experts highlighted that RSI dives to 28 in oversold purgatory, DMI slumps to 11 screaming downward fury.

These harbingers of doom suggest more pain if the dump parade marches on, straight to a fresh all-time low.

Now, the consensus among traders is that for reversal, PUMP must claw back $0.0025 and rally the faithful.

Will our memecoin marauder draw a phoenix-move from the lawsuit flames, or fade into the shadows? The $644 million dollar question.
