- Binance will list Pump.fun’s native token $PUMP on June 13, 2025, including leveraged futures contracts up to 50x.
- The $PUMP launch could spark a price surge and bring new momentum to the meme coin and altcoin markets amid low liquidity.
- Caution advised as Pump.fun faces a class action lawsuit and many traders have recently incurred losses.
After Binance has officially announced the upcoming listing of the Pump.fun ($PUMP) token on its platform, the cryptocurrency community is abuzz with anticipation. Many are also wondering if and how the upcoming token sale will impact the market movements.
Specifically, Pump.fun, a popular Solana-based meme coin launchpad, is set to debut its native token, $PUMP, on Binance, starting June 13, 2025, when the exchange will rename the ticker PUMPUSDT to PUMPBTCUSDT, according to a post published by Binance on June 10.
Furthermore, as the exchange explained, Binance Futures will then list USD-margined PUMPBTCUSDT perpetual contracts with up to 50X leverage on June 13, 2025, at 10:00 UTC.
As a reminder, reports have recently appeared that Pump.fun, which has generated a massive $700 million in revenue, was about to raise up to $1 billion at a $4 billion valuation through the $PUMP token sale. This has sparked debates about the potential impact of the launch on the market.
Possible impact of $PUMP launch
Given the excitement that Pump.fun has already created with its platform and shy announcements of the token sale, the $PUMP sale could, indeed, trigger a price surge. Also, it would be a welcome change amid a dry liquidity environment that has befallen much of the altcoin market.
Not only that, but the $PUMP token launch is a major milestone for Pump.fun and could potentially inject fresh energy into the meme coin and altcoin markets. As such, it might translate into a sustained price rally, although a short-lived pump should not be written out as trading begins.
That said, caution is always necessary in a chaotic micro-economy like the one surrounding Pump.fun, especially considering the data shared by crypto analyst Miles Deutscher. According to him, more than half of Pump.fun traders were in the red a week ago, with 2,642 wallets losing between $1,000 and $10,000.
Also, Pump.fun is currently in the middle of a class action lawsuit before the Southern District of New York (SDNY) court. The lawsuit alleges that the company and its executives have violated U.S. securities laws and that all crypto tokens on the platform are “unregistered security meme coins.”
