Crypto exchange Gate.io unexpectedly removed the dedicated page for the Pump.fun token sale without providing any explanation. This unforeseen move left investors who had been eagerly awaiting the sale in uncertainty.
The page now returns a 404 error. The removed content had announced a major token sale scheduled for July 12, aiming to raise around $600 million. Meanwhile, Gate.io had recently published an official post about the sale—but this announcement has also been taken down from the platform.
Pump.Fun Investors Left Disappointed
Investors showed great interest in the Pump.fun project due to its $4 billion valuation and the planned sale of 150 billion tokens at $0.004 each. This offering represented 15% of the total supply and was set to be the project’s first major token launch.
However, Gate.io representatives responded to a user inquiry by stating that the page was removed as a result of discussions with the project team.
In the platform’s statement, it was noted: “There is currently no confirmed date or announcement regarding when the sale will resume.” This response failed to provide clear guidance to investors.
Gate.io and Pump.fun Partnership in Question
The anticipated collaboration between Gate.io and Pump.fun had been considered promising by the community, with the potential to enhance both platforms’ visibility.
However, the sudden removal of the page cast doubt over the partnership. Adding to the uncertainty, Pump.fun founder Alon Cohen has remained silent on the matter. Meanwhile, leaked content regarding the token sale surfaced online. One community member shared a screenshot on X (formerly Twitter), revealing sale details. This leak underscored the need for greater transparency from the project.
Ultimately, Gate.io’s vague statement and the discreet removal of the page have led investors to question the platform’s credibility. Transparency and timely communication are essential in the crypto market.
