The Much-Awaited Altcoin Launch Sale is Complete: But Something is Off

The closely watched IPO of the PUMP token in the cryptocurrency world has concluded. According to a statement by the Pumpfun team, the sale, which completed in 12 minutes, raised a total of $500 million. However, this figure fell short of the previously announced $600 million target.

According to information on Pumpfun’s official website, 12.5% of the total token supply was sold in the public sale. This represents a $100 million difference from the previously announced 15% sale plan and $600 million target. The team has not yet publicly stated the reason for this difference.

Highlights of the sale were as follows:

• Sale price: $0.004
• Pre-market trading price: ~$0.0056

According to on-chain data, 203 different wallets participated in the ICO using the maximum investment limit of $1 million. Of these, 201 paid in USDC and 2 in USDT. These high-participation wallets accounted for 40% of the funding.

The following statements were made by the Pump development team:

The PUMP public sale has concluded. We are pleased to announce that the sale was completed in just 12 minutes. We thank all our community members who participated. The token distribution process will begin within the next 48-72 hours. Tokens will not be tradable or transferable during this period. Once the distribution is complete, they will become tradable, and a separate announcement will be made regarding this.
