Pump.fun launches USDC paired liquidity pool function BlockBeats News: On May 22nd, according to official sources, Pump.fun, the Solana ecosystem token issuance platform, announced the launch of the USDC paired liquidity pool function. Token creators can now choose to use USDC instead of SOL to start trading pools, aiming to enhance market stability, optimize token distribution, and increase project growth potential. The platform stated that recently, due to fluctuations in Solana prices, the threshold for the bonding curve denominated in SOL has continued to decline, causing the initial market value of the new coin to drop to about $2000 and the completed binding market value to about $30000. This has made it easier to stockpile a large number of chips at low cost, thereby exacerbating the imbalance in token distribution and the problem of "low ceiling". Pump.fun stated that USDC trading pairs will raise the threshold for high-quality projects. According to historical data, the initial market value of USDC paired tokens is set at $4000, and the completed binding market value is approximately $58783, in order to build a more stable and fair trading environment. The platform points out that under the USDC model, the cost of obtaining chips in the early stages of the project significantly increases: completing the binding requires about $12161, while SOL pairing only requires about $7276; The first 30% of the supply required for purchase is about $1682, which is higher than the $998 for SOL pairing, effectively reducing chip manipulation behavior in the low market value stage. In addition, Pump.fun stated that USDC pairing can reduce dependence on SOL price fluctuations and provide retail investors with a more user-friendly on chain trading experience, including reducing wallet balance fluctuations and lowering transaction thresholds. The platform also emphasizes that the existing mechanism for PUMP repurchase and destruction will not change, and 50% of the revenue generated from USDC and SOL transactions will still be used for programmatic repurchase and destruction, consistent with the platform's other revenue.
