Meet Pump.fun—a place where you too can become a memecoin millionaire (or at least *try* to pretend you are). In a jaw-dropping spectacle, this Solana-based platform raised $600 million in just 12 minutes during a token sale. Yes, you read that right. 12 MINUTES! Let that sink in while you sip your lukewarm coffee. According to Bloomberg, they’ve hit a total of $1.32 billion, which is a number that makes my head spin faster than my latest Tinder date’s excuses. 🥴

As per BeInCrypto’s analysis, we present to you three coins that are worth a gander amidst the PUMP token launch: Goatseus Maximus (GOAT), Peanut the Squirrel (PNUT), and Pythia (PYTHIA).

Circle’s USDC, however, has shown the most impressive growth, with a 2.12% increase, adding a whopping $1.31 billion to its supply.

Amidst the excitement, political developments in the US have added a rather intriguing layer of speculation. Rumors are swirling that Jerome Powell, Chairman of the Federal Reserve, is considering stepping down. The news comes just as US President Donald Trump continues to pressure the Fed for interest rate cuts—an economic strategy Powell has yet to pursue. As markets digest the possibility of new leadership at the central bank, the potential shift in monetary policy could significantly impact risk assets, including cryptocurrencies.
