Five months after a dramatic shutdown, Solana-based memecoin launchpad Pump.fun is cautiously stepping back into the live-streaming arena. Alon Cohen, the platform’s co-founder, confirmed on April 4 that livestreaming has resumed — but only for 5% of users for now. This reintroduction follows a string of troubling incidents last year that prompted an emergency halt to the feature amid escalating harmful content. Cohen stated that the relaunch comes with “industry standard moderation systems in place and transparent guidelines.” And the platform isn’t pulling punches this time — new rules crack down on violence, animal abuse, pornography, and any content endangering minors. Accounts breaching the policy may be swiftly terminated. Yet, Pump.fun has intentionally left room for interpretation. In its latest moderation policy, the platform acknowledges that not all content deemed NSFW will be outright banned. In fact, the company admits it “does not intend to universally define what content is ‘appropriate’ or ‘inappropriate,’” suggesting a willingness to preserve some of the edgy spontaneity that drew its early user base — albeit under tighter scrutiny. Pump.fun: From Meme Mayhem to Moderated Media The initial live-streaming shutdown in November wasn’t without reason. In the heat of the memecoin bull run, creators took to shocking tactics to push tokens. Some streams included users making disturbing threats of violence or self-harm if price goals weren’t met. The rapid influx of activity overwhelmed the platform’s moderation capacity, forcing Pump.fun to pull the plug temporarily. Industry voices like Mikko Ohtamaa, co-founder of Trading Strategy, warned of a reckoning. Without proper guardrails, he predicted, the platform would become a liability if mainstream attention turned to the chaos. “I advocate for freedom of speech,” he noted, “but these streams are causing practical issues where people are breaking the law in live broadcasts.” Memecoin Market Cools Off Meanwhile, the memecoin hype that fueled Pump.fun’s rise has started to sputter. Rug pulls like Libra have left retail investors wary. Notably, interest in meme-tokens such as Trump has nosedived — now down more than 90% from January peaks, per CoinGecko. Data from Dune Analytics reveals that token graduation rates on Pump.fun — the rate at which tokens grow large enough to be listed on decentralized exchanges — have plunged below 1%. Weekly token launches have collapsed from 5,400 in January to under 1,500 in March. Even the broader Solana network isn’t immune : just 31,651 tokens were launched on April 5, compared to 95,578 at January’s fever pitch.
