The FCA warned citizens about Pump.fun and emphasized that users of the platform would not be able to benefit from consumer protection mechanisms. The authority advised avoiding business dealings with the platform and urged extreme caution against potential fraud.
Following the ban, users in the Pump.fun Telegram support channel noted that the platform is no longer available in the United Kingdom. Some users indicated they would attempt to access the platform using VPNs.
