[Pump.fun Opens Custom Pairing for Any Platform Token, New Token Purchases Will Directly Boost Liquidity Pools of Original Tokens] BlockBeats News, October 9 — Pump.fun announced an update to its Custom Pairs feature. Previously, new tokens could only be paired with tokenized stocks or whitelisted tokens. Now, they can be paired with any token issued on the platform, whether still under the bonding curve or already graduated to PumpSwap. Tokens that have graduated to Raydium but are not whitelisted are temporarily unsupported, except for whitelisted projects like Fartcoin. According to the official statement, derivative markets for previously popular tokens often divert attention and liquidity. Under the new mechanism, when purchasing a new token paired with an existing token, funds will first be converted into the paired token before buying the new token. This process creates buying pressure and deeper liquidity for the original token pool. Currently, pairing depth is limited to one layer, and pairing relationships for tokens already listed cannot be changed. The platform has also adjusted the fee calculation for multi-hop exchanges to avoid compounding fees. [Original Link]
