On January 20th, Pump.fun officially announced the establishment of its dedicated investment arm, Pump Fund, and launched its first hackathon project, Build in Public (BiP). The investment scale is significant—$3 million allocated to 12 new tokens issued through the platform, with each project receiving $250,000, corresponding to a $10 million project valuation. More notably, in addition to funding, Pump.fun will also deploy founder-level teams to provide guidance and resource support.

This move is somewhat different. For a long time, Pump.fun has been the strongest engine for growth in the Meme sector, playing a behind-the-scenes role—earning fees through platform mechanisms. Now, the official team is directly involved, using real money to pick specific token projects. This clear attitude signal may be more valuable than the money itself. The 12 selected projects have a good chance to become seed players in the Meme market during this period.

From the data, Pump.fun’s ability to attract funds is indeed extraordinary. According to on-chain data, the platform’s total historical revenue has exceeded $954.8 million. Although recent Meme popularity has declined and daily revenue has fluctuated, this scale already proves its dominance in the sector. Now that the official has begun actively participating in project investments, the subsequent ecosystem developments are worth continuous attention.
