Pump.fun formally announces token, sets ICO date

Pump.fun’s initial coin offering is set to take place on Saturday, July 12. 

While there’s been speculation and reporting around a potential PUMP token, the announcement Wednesday is the first official communication from the team. Blockworks previously reported that pump.fun planned to raise $1 billion through a token sale, which would put the valuation at $4 billion.

The tokens will be sold for $0.004 apiece. With a maximum supply of one trillion tokens, that means the public sale will happen at a $4 billion fully diluted valuation. Only 49 tokens currently hold that high of an FDV, per…

Anthony Scaramucci Once Slammed Dogecoin, Other Memecoins As ‘Distraction’ From The Purity Of Bitcoin — This Is The Stuff That Would Aggravate Warren Buffett – Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust (BTC) Common units of fractional undivided beneficial interest (ARCA:BTC)

Anthony Scaramucci has been a staunch Bitcoin BTC/USD advocate over the years, but the SkyBridge Capital CEO does not hold meme coins in the same regard.

What happened: During a CNBC interview, Scaramucci compared meme cryptocurrencies, including Dogecoin DOGE/USD, to the Dutch Tulip Bubble.

During the Tulipmania, prices of several breeds of Tulip bulbs rose to above the value of a furnished luxury house in 17th-century Amsterdam

“These are gambling tokens, effectively,” he said. “I think in the minds of some of the older investors, it causes contagion on Bitcoin.”

Scaramucci said meme coins would “aggravate” Warren Buffett, legendary investor and a known Bitcoin critic.

LATEST:South Korea Plans New Benefits For Crypto Startups Through Reclassification

South Korea’s Ministry of SMEs and Startups plans to amend the law to allow virtual asset trading and brokerage firms to register as venture companies. This change will make crypto-related businesses eligible for government subsidies including tax benefits and financial support. Previously banned under the 2018 Special Act these firms were grouped with pubs and gambling venues losing access to vital incentives.

The updated policy could reverse setbacks faced by major players like Dunamu the parent firm of Upbit which lost its venture status and paid $18 million in extra taxes. By restoring venture eligibility the move aims to enhance the legitimacy of the crypto sector and promote new growth. Existing venture firms will also gain freedom to enter the crypto market under the revised law.

Driven by President Lee Jae Myung’s pro-crypto agenda this shift aligns with efforts to legalize Korean won-based stablecoins and introduce crypto ETFs. Lawmakers and financial regulators are also working to ease restrictions on institutional trading signaling a major policy shift.
