Pump.fun brings back livestreams for 5% of its users

Pump.fun revives livestream for 5% of users with enhanced safety. Initially paused due to abuse, it now returns with improved tools and clear rules.

Users will now be able to use the Pump.fun livestream as the token-launching platform brings it back for select users.

Pump.fun shut down its livestream feature due to safety concerns after reports of user abuse. Now, the feature will return but only for 5% of users, with enhanced safety tools and clear, easy-to-understand rules.

Pump.fun, a meme coin launchpad built on Solana, initially allowed token creators to promote their projects via live video streams. However, in November 2024, the team indefinitely paused this feature.

The community raised issues about harmful and extreme content, including violent threats and explicit behavior. Pump.fun admitted they lacked the necessary tools and staff to adequately monitor all livestreams.

Before the suspension, livestreaming was integrated into the Pump.fun platform, offering an easy way for token creators to attract attention. Creators could live stream while displaying price charts to engage viewers.

The system supported both solo and group streamers and later added screen sharing and voice chat to enhance interactivity. The goal was to leverage the viral nature of live video to generate interest and drive investment in meme coins.

Since removing the feature, Pump.fun hasn’t revealed any plans to bring it back or explained the system’s behind-the-scenes workings, like the servers or streaming tools used.

Now, Pump.fun is testing livestreams again, but with enhanced controls for safety and enjoyment. Co-founder Alon Cohen announced on April 4, 2025, that this is a cautious step to evaluate the new system.

Anyone who breaks the rules will be swiftly banned. The platform encourages creativity but also demands respect.

Pump.fun in 2025

Since early 2025, Pump.fun has experienced significant wins, tough challenges, and major changes within its ecosystem. The year began on a high note. On January 2, the platform generated over $14 million in revenue, spurred by a surge in meme coin activity.

On March 20, Pump.fun launched its decentralized exchange, PumpSwap. Tokens that completed their bonding curve could now transition directly to PumpSwap without incurring the previous 6 SOL fee. This innovation enhanced trading efficiency and reduced costs. Since its launch, PumpSwap has seen over $3.2 billion in total trading volume, with daily activity ranging between $250 million and $350 million.

However, not everything went smoothly. On January 31, Pump.fun faced a class-action lawsuit in New York. The lawsuit alleged that the platform violated U.S. securities laws by allowing the creation and sale of meme coins classified as securities. Earlier in January, another lawsuit targeted the PNUT token, which had plummeted after briefly reaching a $1 billion market cap.

Token launches, which exceeded 50,000 daily in January, fell to around 25,000 by March. Daily revenue dropped from $3 million to under $1 million. Trading volume decreased by 94% from its peak, and significantly fewer tokens made it to secondary markets like Raydium.
