Pump.fun monthly revenue (Source: DefiLlama) Despite its financial success, Pump.fun still faced some challenges, particularly with its live streaming feature. The feature was introduced in August to allow users to share real-time reactions to token price movements. However, the live streaming service was temporarily suspended after inappropriate and alarming content was shared on the platform. Users reportedly broadcasted disturbing behavior, including threats of violence and self-harm. In one case, a user even threatened to harm their pet if their meme coin failed to achieve a certain market capitalization. Pump.fun pledged to improve its content moderation tools and increase transparency in enforcement decisions before reinstating the feature again. Meanwhile, Binance co-founder and former CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao weighed in on the broader meme coin phenomenon. While he acknowledged their popularity, Zhao still prefers blockchain projects that deliver tangible applications and infrastructure. He clarified that his comments were not meant to undermine meme coins but to encourage the development of real-world blockchain applications.
