Two big holders make $39.65 million from $PUMP

Two addresses that joined the private placement round of pump.fun’s PUMP token price have made a huge combined profit of $39.65 million in just one week. Their quick sell-offs have caught the attention of many in the world of crypto.

A recent post of EmberCN has shared the details on their X handle explaining the whole data.

First holder gains $19.5M through FalconX

The first address called D6arV1F6dfF5xHjLNhoyTMA78KT7yDA2dGPd1cwpLazd, spent 100m USDC to buy 25 billion PUMP token price. These were bought without any lock-up and at the same price as public investors.

Last week the address sent 13 billion tokens to FalconX which later moved them to centralised exchanges. By selling at an average price of $0.0055 the address earned a profit of $19.5 million.

Second investor sells all tokens for $20.15 M

The second address 58WQi2AFkUmhEUCsAkqbRtbof8P4Uhv8r1ohLAogv33E used 50m USDC to buy 12.5 billion PUMP token price. This investor transferred all the tokens directly to centralised exchanges last week.

At an average price of $0.0056 the total profit made was around $20.15m.

Tokens worth $141 million sold in a week

Together these two addresses sold 25.5 billion tokens which is worth nearly $141 million within just one week. The data was shared by EmberCN, a blockchain monitoring platform that tracks movement and large transactions.

Community reacts to lack of Lock-up

It raises a big question in the crypto community about the fairness of such private sell. While early investors get easy profits with no holding period, public buyers often enter later at higher risk.

When large investors sell off their tokens without any restriction it often leads to a sudden drop in the price. Similar pattern was seen in this case, PUMP token price dropped over 6% in a day with current trading price at $0.004288 and $1.51B in market cap.

This not only shakes the market in the short term but also weakens trust among long-term investors.

That’s why many people believe that future token launches should come with stricter rules to protect everyday investors and maintain stability.

Conclusion

These quick exits by private investors with no lock-up period raised concerns about fairness in token launches. While early participants make fast profits, public buyers are left dealing with price drops and market risks.
