Pump.fun, a Solana-based platform, had its official X account suspended on June 16, 2025. This caused a wide reaction in the crypto community and sparked many speculations. The personal X account of Pump.fun’s founder, Alon Cohen, was also suspended.
Reasons for X Suspensions and Speculations
The official reason for the suspensions has not yet been disclosed by X platform or Pump.fun officials. Meanwhile, X suspended more than 20 crypto-related accounts on Monday.
Some reports suggest that Pump.fun or related third-party tools may have violated X’s API usage policies. X has recently taken a strict stance on unauthorized API usage. In a class-action lawsuit filed in January, investors accused Pump.fun of orchestrating pump-and-dump schemes. They claimed the company earned approximately $500 million from each token it created, alleging these were unregistered securities.
Fraud allegations such as “AutoRug” (automatic rug pull) in some token projects and liquidity problems may have triggered further scrutiny of the platform. The suspension coinciding with Pump.fun’s planned launch of its native token, “$PUMP,” is also noteworthy.
According to a list compiled by X user “Otto,” at least 19 more accounts linked to crypto trading platforms GMGN, BullX, Bloom Trading, and AI tool Eliza OS were taken offline.
Impact on Market and Community
The suspension of Pump.fun’s X account creates a significant gap in the platform’s marketing and communication channels, which may negatively affect its operations and user engagement in the short term. Some community members view this as a positive development that could reduce excessive speculation in the meme coin market, while others worry about potential negative effects on token launches and overall market sentiment.
While the exact reason for the suspension remains unclear, this incident is seen as an indication of X platform’s increased control over crypto-related accounts.
