A recent report by IOSG refutes allegations of volume manipulation for Pump.fun's native token, $PUMP. The report highlights that Pump.fun, a meme launchpad on Solana, has seen significant revenue growth since its inception in 2024, despite the token's price decline from its all-time high. The analysis shows a moderate positive correlation between trading volumes on Pump.fun's Launchpad and PumpSwap, suggesting organic growth rather than artificial inflation. Research from the University of Pisa supports these findings, indicating that large manual purchases, rather than bot activity, drive token graduations on the platform. The study found that bots primarily engage in front-running rather than wash trading, with net SOL flows remaining positive, further disproving manipulation claims. Pump.fun's ecosystem continues to expand, with initiatives like Pumpfund and Project Ascend aimed at fostering growth and innovation.
