Followin': - pump.fun is silently testing its own AMM, which may replace Raydium as the default liquidity platform for "graduated" tokens on pump.fun. - pump.fun is developing its own AMM, blocking memecoin money laundering from the Bybit hacker. Image: Decrypt - According to sources on X on February 24, the meme coin issuance platform with a valuation of over $1.5 Bit, pump.fun, is quietly testing its own AMM at amm.pump.fun. - Trenchdiver (@trenchdiver101) said: "pump.fun is Buildin' its own AMM, currently being tested at amm.pump.fun. Looks like they're plannin' to have graduated tokens migrate to their own pool instead of Raydium. This could allow them to extract more fees on Solana or have a custom reward mechanism for holders." - The first memecoin added to pump.fun's AMM pool is CRACK, which has pumped sharply in just a few minutes, reaching a market Cap of over $5 million and is now down to over $2.3 million. - Currently, graduated tokens on pump.fun will be moved to the largest Solana AMM, Raydium, with a standard 0.25% fee per trade, of which 0.22% goes to the LP and 0.03% is used to buy back RAY, causing pump.fun to share profits with a third party. However, with its own developin' AMM, pump.fun can eliminate its dependence on Raydium, control the liquidity flow, and optimize revenue in the way most beneficial to its ecosystem. - Many predict that pump.fun's new AMM could increase the swap fee to 2-3% and implement a reward program for holders of the platform's upcoming token. - According to DeFiLlama data, pump.fun has generated over $509 million in transaction fees since its launch, and this figure could explode further if they fully control the liquidity system, making this platform a "force" dominating the entire cash flow in the Solana memecoin ecosystem. - The news immediately impacted the price of RAY - Raydium's token. Just a few hours after the news spread, the price of RAY plummeted, recording a drop of more than 22.7% in 24 hours, currently fluctuating around $3.31. - Regarding the Bybit hack with a loss of up to $1.4 Bit, the hacker exploited the pump.fun platform to launder money through memecoin. However, this platform immediately took strong action to prevent this worrying behavior. - Specifically, the wallet address 5STkQy...95T7Cq - related to the Bybit hack - transferred 60 SOL to the address 9Gu8v6...aAdqWS, which then deployed a memecoin called QinShihuang. In a short time, this token recorded a trading volume of up to $26 million, raising suspicions that the hacker is using memecoin to legitimize the stolen money. - In response, pump.fun quickly reacted by blocking and removing the QinShihuang memecoin to prevent the hacker from continuing to launder money on the platform. - Although QinShihuang has been handled, the address 9Gu8v6...aAdqWS and many other related wallets are still receivin' a slew of other memecoins to continue laundering money. Controlling these tokens completely is not a simple task, as any strong action by Pump.fun could inadvertently affect users who have already purchased those tokens. - In response to pump.fun's decisive action, the Bybit exchange expressed gratitude, affirming this as a typical example of proactively protecting the cryptocurrency ecosystem.

Although pump.fun has been criticized for the pump & dump token issue and the livestream feature that once likened it to a "darkweb" on the blockchain, the leading Solana-based meme coin platform has continuously listened to community feedback, adjusted its policies, and taken a firm stance against any illegal activities through meme coins. Most recently, founder Alon also had a strong reaction after the collapse of the LIBRA meme coin, publicly criticizing those behind the scenes who exploited users for personal gain, and emphasizing that "the community needs to be protected".
