Pump.fun acquires Vyper, expanding Solana trading tools
Pump.fun has acquired crypto trading terminal Vyper, which will discontinue its standalone service and integrate its infrastructure and user base into the Solana memecoin launchpad’s ecosystem via Pump.fun’s Terminal platform.
On Friday, Vyper said core components of its product will begin shutting down on Tuesday, with some limited features remaining available. Users were directed to Pump.fun’s Terminal (formerly Padre) to continue accessing similar tools.
The move aligns with Pump.fun’s strategy to consolidate more of the trading stack — from token launches to execution and analytics — as memecoin activity has cooled from the speculative peaks of late 2024 and early 2025.
The companies did not disclose financial terms. Pump.fun did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Expansion beyond token launches
The Vyper acquisition follows earlier steps into trading infrastructure. On Oct. 24, Pump.fun acquired trading terminal Padre to bolster liquidity and execution for tokens launched on its platform. Padre was subsequently rebranded and now operates as Terminal.
In January, Pump.fun also introduced an investment arm called Pump Fund, signaling a shift away from a purely memecoin-focused approach. On Jan. 20, Pump Fund launched alongside a $3 million hackathon intended to support early-stage projects, including those not directly tied to crypto.
Consolidation amid a cooling memecoin market
The expansion comes as memecoin activity has retreated from earlier highs, a period that saw celebrities and some government leaders launch tokens. Pump.fun’s growth was fueled by speculative trading on Solana, but revenue has since declined as interest in memecoins waned.
Data from DefiLlama indicates Pump.fun’s monthly revenue peaked at more than $137 million in January 2025, then fell 77% over the following year to about $31 million in January 2026.
In December 2024, the estimated market capitalization of memecoins tracked by CoinMarketCap exceeded $100 billion. At the time of writing, the sector’s value was about $28 billion, a decline of roughly 72%.
