Pump.fun Public Sale Excludes US, UK, EU Participants

Pump.fun launches its native token PUMP for public sale on July 12, 2025, hosted by Bybit, excluding US, UK, and EU participants.

Pump.fun’s exclusion of major markets like the US and EU from its token sale could indicate significant regulatory pressures impacting crypto sales globally.

Pump.fun is conducting its public sale of PUMP tokens on Bybit from July 12 to 15, 2025. This event follows a trend in crypto projects seeking innovative launch methods despite regulatory challenges.

“Our plan is to Kill Facebook, TikTok, and Twitch. On Solana.” – Pump.fun (Official Project)

The sale will involve 150 billion PUMP tokens representing 15% of the total one trillion supply. Each token will be sold at $0.004 USDT. This could see the sale raise $600 million, valuating the project at $4 billion.

European regulations, specifically MiCA, have led Bybit to formally exclude US, UK, and EU users from participating, emphasizing compliance. The exclusion reflects a growing caution among exchanges facing diverse international regulations.

The project’s ambitions to impact platforms like Facebook and TikTok show bold market aims. The event may not immediately shift Solana’s trading volumes due to earlier activity drops.

If successful, the sale’s $600 million raise may enhance memecoin market participation but could encounter skepticism due to decreased platform activity. Long-term effects hinge on meeting regulations and sustaining community engagement.
