Pump Token Spikes Ahead Of Official Trading Launch
According to exchange data from Hyperliquid’s perpetuals market, Pump.fun’s PUMP token has surged by 16% over the last day in a rally driven by its initial coin offering (ICO). At press time, the Pump token is exchanging hands at $0.006725 in premarket with investors jostling for positions ahead of the trading launch.

Barely 12 minutes after the public sale launch, investors snapped up all the Pump tokens at $0.004, raising $500 million on-chain and an additional $100 million from centralized exchanges.

Amid the premarket buzz, concerns persist about a potential price correction upon the full trading launch. According to the on-chain analytics platform Spot On Chain, traders can short the token and, upon distribution, use it to close their short position, netting a low-risk gain.
“For ICO participants, they can make 40% by going short on pre-market now and close when receiving the token,” said Spot On Chain. “With the cap at $1M, they cqan make $400K with low risk.”
Bybit Blames API For Oversubscription
Bybit revealed in an official statement that the Pump.fun token was oversubscribed by users of the centralized exchange. The top crypto exchange blamed “an unexpected API delay” for the oversubscription of the offering, leading to some users failing to receive their allocations.
Going forward, Bybit says it will fully refund users that are yet to receive their allocations due to the API delay. In the meantime, the exchange is verifying final allocation outcomes to unfreeze funds from users who attempted to subscribe to the offering.
