Kraken.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"281\" data-end=\"936\">Project revenue fell to $27.3 million in November.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"281\" data-end=\"936\">Wallets still held over $855 million in stablecoins and $211 million in SOL.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"281\" data-end=\"936\">Pump.fun\u2019s internal fund activity has drawn intense scrutiny after pseudonymous co-founder Sapijiju challenged claims that the project cashed out more than $436 million in stablecoins.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"281\" data-end=\"936\">The discussion began when blockchain analytics platform Lookonchain reported that wallets linked to the Solana memecoin launchpad had transferred large amounts of USDC to the crypto exchange Kraken.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"281\" data-end=\"936\">The activity raised fears of selling pressure and uncertainty about how the project handled its reserves.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"281\" data-end=\"936\">The story quickly spread across X, where users analysed the movement of funds, debated the project\u2019s finances, and questioned the clarity of the explanations offered.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"938\" data-end=\"979\">USDC flows tied to internal management<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"981\" data-end=\"1486\">In an <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/sapijiju\/status\/1992940009230610891\">X post<\/a>, Sapijiju said the transfers were part of Pump.fun\u2019s treasury management process and were not sales.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"981\" data-end=\"1486\">The post said the USDC originated from the PUMP token\u2019s initial coin offering and was moved between internal wallets to support the company\u2019s runway and reinvestment plans.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"981\" data-end=\"1486\">The post also stated that Pump.fun had never worked with Circle.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"981\" data-end=\"1486\">Treasury management typically involves reorganising wallets, allocating capital, and preparing budgets, and does not always indicate selling or liquidation.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1488\" data-end=\"1976\"><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/lookonchain\/status\/1992792570808897822\">Lookonchain\u2019s report<\/a> said the transfers to Kraken had reached $436.5 million in USDC since mid-October.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1488\" data-end=\"1976\">The timing drew more attention because Pump.fun\u2019s monthly revenue had fallen to $27.3 million in November, its first drop below $40 million since July, according to DefiLlama.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1488\" data-end=\"1976\">Despite the concerns, data from DefiLlama, Arkham, and Lookonchain showed that the Pump.fun-tagged wallet still held more than $855 million in stablecoins and $211 million in Solana SOL, which traded at $136.43.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1978\" data-end=\"2011\">Analysts and community respond<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2013\" data-end=\"2372\">Nansen research analyst Nicolai Sondergaard interpreted the reported transfers as a sign that more selling could follow.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2013\" data-end=\"2372\">In contrast, EmberCN suggested the activity reflected institutional private placements of the PUMP token rather than active dumping.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2013\" data-end=\"2372\">The competing interpretations led to a broader review of the token\u2019s performance and project structure.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2374\" data-end=\"2686\">CoinGecko data showed that PUMP traded at $0.002714, down 32% from its ICO price of $0.004 and almost 70% below its September high of $0.0085.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2374\" data-end=\"2686\">Currently, PUMP is trading at $0.002738, rising 6.9% in the past 24 hours.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_350222\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-350222\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\"

discussions as users examined whether the treasury actions aligned with the token\u2019s market conditions.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2688\" data-end=\"3275\">Across X, multiple posts highlighted the divide in sentiment.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2688\" data-end=\"3275\">Some users argued that the explanation raised more questions, pointing to inconsistencies and asking for clearer communication.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2688\" data-end=\"3275\">Others dismissed the statement entirely and linked the treasury activity to concerns about token performance and execution.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2688\" data-end=\"3275\">A separate group of users said Pump.fun had the right to manage its revenue, ICO proceeds, and reserves as it saw fit.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2688\" data-end=\"3275\">They described treasury movements as common practice after an ICO and said the main issue was whether USDC reserves properly backed the circulating supply.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"3277\" data-end=\"3320\">Treasury structure becomes central issue<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"3322\" data-end=\"3836\">As more users examined the fund flows, the debate shifted from selling pressure to the broader structure of Pump.fun\u2019s treasury.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3322\" data-end=\"3836\">The discussion focused on the scale of reserves, how the project organised its wallets, and whether the team provided enough visibility into its financial management.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3322\" data-end=\"3836\">The presence of more than $855 million in stablecoins indicated that large amounts of capital remained under project control, but users continued to question the timing, communication, and purpose behind the transfers.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3838\" data-end=\"4221\">The situation highlighted how treasury management can become a point of market sensitivity, especially when combined with falling revenue, volatile token prices, and community scepticism.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3838\" data-end=\"4221\">With attention across X still focused on the movements, the conversation has moved toward transparency expectations, reserve backing, and the company\u2019s approach to supporting long-term development.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-meta\">\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Share this article<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6
