So many pro-crypto moves under Trump so far, but US-based investors have completely missed the excitement of Pump.fun ICO. The sale of the pump token was undoubtedly the biggest cryptographic release of the year.
But it is probably about to change as the US continues to push for balanced crypto regulations in 2025.
Americans missed the launch of yet another new token
Solana-based Meme Coin Launchpad platform Pump.Fun was able to shake up a $500 million brain in under 12 minutes on July 11th.
Intensive exchanges like Kraken, Bybit and many others have encouraged some of the crypto funding. Investors at these venues have donated more than $50 million.
However, the terms of the Pump.Fun fundraising event excluded potential US and UK investors from the start.
“We’re looking forward to seeing you in the future,” said Tony Drummond, founder of Tokenomics.net and adviser of Crypto Accelerator Outlier Ventures.
It is true that many ICOs have specifically blocked US investors through geography over the years as a result of securities laws. This is more frustrating, as many of the participating exchanges, like Kraken, are primarily based on the US.
Also, the fact that Pump.Fun’s tokens are reported to look like stocks 25% (25%) of future platform revenue is the fact that it is likely to look like security.
The securities law could also be the reason for UK restrictions.
“The UK is new to me, as they usually limit the EU due to mica restrictions,” Drummond added.
The Meme Coin LaunchPad market is intensifying
It is important to remember that despite all ICO hoopras, pump.fun also has a rival for Meme Coin Launchpad in the form of bonk.fun.

Having a war chest to compete with other memecoin platforms is important for the pump outlook in the coming years.
Remember the NFT boom. It wasn’t long ago that many people thought of Opensea as the gorilla of that space.

Regarding tokens created per day, Pump and Bonk.Fun have around 20,000 cryptocurrencies available every day.
“Pump.Fun is like a cancerous tumor, so it’s difficult to analyze logically,” Drummond said.
So, can the pump token funds help the pump ultimately regain Solana’s meme coin lead?
“I think they’ll find a way to coexist,” said Adam Tehc, the trader who created the Pump.Fun Dune Analytics dashboard, which displays statistics about the platform.
TEHC feels it’s ironic that the US president has his own meme coin, but American investors have been locked out of literal pump fun.
“I think Donald Trump, founder of Solana Meme Coin, should take regulatory action,” TEHC added.
US Cryptocurrency Summer
It is very likely that TEHC is quickly obtaining his regulatory wish. Crypto Week was in full swing in Washington, and the house just passed clarity and acts of genius.
After the Genius Bill It is signed by Trump, crypto market structure regulations, and clear actions. It could be the next step.
Some of the key aspects of the crypto market structure paves the way for a distinction between goods and securities, SEC and CFTC regulators, and better frameworks for exchange and trading platforms.
Of course, Congress has a way to go to shape a “clear” bill.
But if the Trump administration continues to have a rapid pace of governance, there may be a day soon when blockchain companies like Pump.Fun have a clear regulatory pathway to raise crypto capital in the United States.
