- Pump.fun has acquired the Vyper trading terminal for an undisclosed amount.
- The Solana-based meme launchpad will integrate Vyper with its recently acquired Terminal.
- This acquisition is bullish for the PUMP token, which has dropped by over 77% in the past 5 months.
Pump.fun (PUMP) has acquired Vyper for an undisclosed amount. The leading Solana (SOL)-based launchpad for memecoins will incentivize Vyper users on Terminal, a multi-chain platform acquired late last year.
As such, Pump.fun will catalyze memecoin growth in the Solana ecosystem and bolster bullish sentiment for its native token, PUMP.
Pump.fun Acquires Vyper to Bolster Multichain Trading on Terminal
According to the announcement, the strategic acquisition of Vyper by Pump.fun will result in the winding down of its core application on Tuesday, February 10, 2026. As a result, Vyper’s infrastructure and core team will be integrated with the Trading Terminal.
The integration of Vyper with Terminal will significantly improve its trading on chains that support the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). Some of the supported networks include Base.
Some of the Vyper features that will remain available after the official closure of the core app include:
- Vyper users will be able to export private keys and the rest of the portfolio tab.
- The Vyper users will access wallet tracking data and the protocol’s configuration.
In a bid to onboard more Vyper users to the Terminal, Pump.fun will offer them 90% cash back fees for the first month. Vyper users will, however, need to open a support ticket on Terminal’s Discord page to access the 90% cashback.
What’s the Impact on PUMP Token?
The strategic acquisition of Vyper will have a significant impact on the PUMP token in the long term. Moreover, Pump.fun will catalyze meme trading volume, thus bolstering its revenues, which are used to buyback the PUMP token.
The 90% cash back on Terminal for Vyper users during the first month will help retain more users, thus catalyzing organic growth. As such, Terminal is well-positioned to grow its user base and volume, and to increase the fees collected by Pump.fun.
So far, Pump.fun has repurchased 22.6% of PUMP tokens’ circulating supply with revenue collected from its platforms. However, the PUMP price has been trapped in a correction mode since its official launch.
According to CoinMarketCap, the PUMP price has dropped 77% over the last five months, trading at about $0.002 at press time. The altcoin, with a fully diluted valuation of about $1.9 billion and trading volume of around $370 million at the time of this writing, is well-positioned to strengthen in the near term.
