Open interest stood at over $17 million as of Asian morning hours Thuesday, but activity is expected to accelerate after Binance Futures launches its own PUMP perpetual contract on July 10 at 07:30 UTC.

The Pump.fun ICO will distribute 33% of PUMP’s total 1 trillion token supply, with 18% already sold in a private round and 15% reserved for the public sale, both priced at $0.004. All tokens will be fully unlocked at launch.

Pump.fun is positioning the token as part of a broader strategy to build a decentralized social platform pitched as a Web3-native alternative to TikTok, Twitch, and Facebook, where users are rewarded with money, not just engagement.

The protocol has already generated over $600 million in revenue, largely from fees on meme coin launches, and has been at the center of Solana’s low-friction token boom since early 2024.
