Pump.fun acquires Vyper, a crypto trading terminal, integrating it into the Solana memecoin launchpad ecosystem. Vyper’s core parts will shut down on Feb. 10, with limited functions accessible. The move aims to consolidate trading workflow, from token launches to execution and analytics, reflecting Pump.fun’s broader strategy. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Pump.fun previously acquired Padre trading terminal in Oct. 24, rebranded as Terminal. In January, Pump.fun launched investment arm Pump Fund, moving away from a pure memecoin focus. Pump Fund debuted with a $3 million hackathon supporting early-stage projects beyond crypto. Memecoin market cooling drives consolidation for Pump.fun.
Memecoin activity peaked in late 2024, fueled by celebrities launching tokens. Pump.fun’s monthly revenue hit over $137 million in Jan. 2025 but dropped 77% to $31 million in Jan. 2026. Memecoin market cap tracked by CoinMarketCap fell from $100 billion in Dec. 2024 to about $28 billion, down 72% at present.
