Memecoins

A viral data leak tied to the director of the FBI-Kash Patel-has ignited a wave of memecoin scams on Pump.fun, with opportunistic traders launching dozens of tokens that surged and crashed by over 90% within hours.

Pump.fun now allows only one post-launch fee change to reduce manipulation. Most users are still losing money, as trading activity and revenue decline.

The sharp rise of the Siren (SIREN) token has drawn market attention, but onchain data pointing to concentrated ownership is prompting scrutiny over whether the surge reflects organic demand or coordinated accumulation.

Haliey Welch, the viral internet personality known as the “Hawk Tuah girl,” says the dramatic rise and collapse of the HAWK memecoin has left her wary of crypto and deeply affected by the backlash that followed.

A meme coin tied to US President Donald Trump surged sharply after rumors leaked that there will be a second edition of an exclusive gala for its most loyal investors, although it was later revealed that the president might not ever actually attend the event.

Donald Trump’s official Solana-based meme coin, Official Trump (TRUMP), briefly jumped more than 10% on Thursday after the project announced a second exclusive in-person event for top token holders — despite criticism surrounding the first gathering.

Hackers hijacked the Bonk.fun website and deployed a fake prompt that can drain connected crypto wallets. Only users who interacted with the malicious message during the attack were affected, while losses so far are reported as minimal.

Pump.fun has partnered with MoonPay to let users deposit Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other tokens directly without needing Solana. MoonPay automatically handles swapping and bridging so funds arrive in the correct asset on Solana.

The world’s hottest meme coin, Dogecoin, has surged nearly 15% in the past 24 hours, leading gains among the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization as a broader crypto rebound gathered momentum.

Solana memecoin launchpad Pump.fun has updated its mobile app to let users trade tokens from rival platforms like Raydium and Meteora, as well as major assets like Wrapped Bitcoin and Wrapped Ethereum. The platform’s PUMP token rose 8.4% after the announcement, reflecting growing user interest in the expanded trading options.
