ByBit Ukraine’s premature announcement has shed light on Pump.fun’s token sale plans, a move that follows a similar disclosure from Gate.io.

However, the announcement came with a notable restriction that European investors will not be eligible to participate.

Bybit Posts, Deletes Pump.fun Token Sale Details

In a leaked announcement that was immediately deleted, Bybit Ukraine revealed details of a potential Pump.fun token sale, set on July 12. The message, posted on Wednesday, posited that European users would be barred from participating in the sale. As the platform removed the announcement, a community member shared an X post, drawing attention to the token sale.

Reportedly, the announcement was supposed to be delivered at 14:00 UTC. But the platform accidentally posted it before the scheduled time. A Bybit representative confirmed that the details in the now-deleted post and circulating screenshots were accurate when published. However, he added that changes may occur before an official announcement is made.

This development comes just a day after crypto exchange Gate.io leaked a similar announcement. As reported by CoinGape, Gate.io announced that the Pump.fun token sale would offer 150 billion tokens, priced at $0.004 each, accounting for 15% of the total 1 trillion token supply. However, adding uncertainty to the event, the platform deleted the post soon
