Solana SOL/USD-Based Meme Coin Launchpad Pump.fun Hit With Class-Action Lawsuit
Jan 31, 2025 at 02:11 pm
The suit, filed in a New York federal court, named Baton Corporation, a U.K.-registered company, as the owner of Pump.fun.

A class-action lawsuit was filed on Thursday against Solana (CRYPTO: SOL) meme coin launchpad Pump.fun, alleging that all tokens created on the platform are unregistered securities.
The suit, filed in a New York federal court, names Baton Corporation, a U.K.-registered company, as the owner of Pump.fun.
The complaint alleges that the platform earned nearly half a billion dollars in fees by selling "highly volatile unregistered securities."
The plaintiff further accuses Pump.fun of allowing the sale of “worthless” digital tokens in minutes, disregarding basic investor protections, including “Know Your Customer” rules and anti-money laundering protocols.
The lawsuit also claims that the network has no age verification or restrictions in place, allowing anyone to create tokens on provocative themes.
The lead complainant, identified as Diego Angular, claims to have lost money trading Pump.fun meme coins like Fwog (FWOG) and Griffain (GRIFFAIN) and is seeking compensation.
Pump.fun creator Alon Cohen did not immediately respond to Benzinga's request for comment.
The latest legal trouble comes two weeks after a class-action lawsuit was filed against Pump.fun over the sale of the popular Peanut The Squirrel (PNUT) token.
Pump.fun was at the heart of the Solana meme coin mania last year, spawning multi-million dollar coins like PNUT, Fartcoin (FARTCOIN), and MooDeng (MOODENG).
As of this writing, the combined market capitalization of Pump.fun meme coins is nearly $6 billion, according to CoinGecko. Over the last 24 hours, the valuation has decreased by 8%.
