Introducing The Pump Fun Times: The Newspaper of Record for Degens
A new publication arrives to cover the chaos, the culture, and the candlestick charts of the Pump Fun ecosystem — with all the gravitas of the world's finest financial press and none of the financial advice.
Since its emergence in early 2024, Pump Fun has become one of the most consequential platforms in the Solana ecosystem — and one of the least seriously covered. Millions of tokens have been created, traded, and extinguished on its bonding curve mechanism. Substantial capital has moved through it. A distinct culture has formed around it. And through all of it, the dominant voices have been participants — holders, promoters, and the occasionally anonymous developer, each with a position to protect.
The Pump Fun Times exists to be something different.
“We do not pick coins. We do not give financial advice. We simply watch the chaos unfold — and we write it down.”
We are a publication about a market, a culture, and a phenomenon. Pump Fun and the broader Solana memecoin ecosystem represent a genuinely novel corner of financial history — chaotic, at times absurd, and by any measure significant enough to warrant dispassionate, independent coverage. The numbers are real. The stories are real. The people involved are real. They deserve a record.
We hold no positions. We have no tokens to promote. Our only interest is in accurate, consistent, and occasionally dry reporting on what is, without question, one of the more extraordinary financial ecosystems of the current era. The Pump Fun Times publishes its first edition soon.
