Will the $PUMP Launch Trigger a Price Surge?

• Binance will list Pump.funs native token $PUMP on June 13, 2025, including leveraged futures contracts up to 50x.
• The $PUMP launch could spark a price surge and bring new momentum to the meme coin and altcoin markets amid low liquidity.
• Caution advised as Pump.fun faces a class action lawsuit and many traders have recently incurred losses.

After Binance has officially announced the upcoming listing of the Pump.fun ($PUMP) token on its platform, the cryptocurrency community is abuzz with anticipation. Many are also wondering if and how the upcoming token sale will impact the market movements.

Specifically, Pump.fun, a popular Solana-based meme coin launchpad, is set to debut its native token, $PUMP, on Binance, starting June 13, 2025, when the exchange will rename the ticker PUMPUSDT to PUMPBTCUSDT, according to a post published by Binance on June 10.

Furthermore, as the exchange explained, Binance Futures will then list USD-margined PUMPBTCUSDT perpetual contracts with up to 50X leverage on June 13, 2025, at 10:00 UTC.

As a reminder, reports have recently appeared that Pump.fun, which has generated a massive $700 million in revenue, was about to raise up to $1 billion at a $4 billion valuation through the $PUMP token sale. This has sparked debates about the potential impact of the launch on the market.

Possible impact of $PUMP launch

Given the excitement that Pump.fun has already created with its platform and shy announcements of the token sale, the $PUMP sale could, indeed, trigger a price surge. Also, it would be a welcome change amid a dry liquidity environment that has befallen much of the altcoin market.

Not only that, but the $PUMP token launch is a major milestone for Pump.fun and could potentially inject fresh energy into the meme coin and altcoin markets. As such, it might translate into a sustained price rally, although a short-lived pump should not be written out as trading begins.

That said, caution is always necessary in a chaotic micro-economy like the one surrounding Pump.fun, especially considering the data shared by crypto analyst Miles Deutscher. According to him, more than half of Pump.fun traders were in the red a week ago, with 2,642 wallets losing between $1,000 and $10,000.
