Odaily reports: Ansem posted on X that the market has not yet fully priced in pump.fun's emergence as L1-like foundational infrastructure, on which other token issuance platforms could build directly in the future; for every ~$500 million in revenue the platform generates, token creators can receive ~$500 million in creator fees after tokens complete the bonding curve phase.

Odaily reports that Pump.fun founder alon posted on X in response to controversy surrounding the Callout Rewards incentive mechanism. He stated that the program was launched two months ago with the goal of making Pump.fun the "most rewarding trading platform," but Callout Rewards V1 inadvertently incentivized the wrong behavior, leading to an increase in low-quality spam content and reducing users' willingness to produce quality content.

alon added that the team subsequently updated the rewards algorithm to favor quality over quantity. The more callouts a user posts daily, the more the marginal returns gradually diminish. Currently, Pump.fun has distributed rewards to accounts of various sizes, including large accounts as well as accounts with fewer than 10 followers, with no special treatment. Future incentive logic will revolve around "discovering quality tokens — building trader trust — earning rewards based on user trading volume," and he emphasized that simply farming callouts or exploiting followers for sell-off arbitrage cannot generate long-term returns.

According to Lookonchain monitoring, netherlol (BKJ4...vzz5) bought 383 million PUMP worth $2.4 million after more than a year. The newly created wallet GnZqfY (GnZq...X9qJz) withdrew 189 million PUMP worth $1.18 million from MEXC 7 hours ago.

Odaily reports: Trader Doctor Profit posted that he has shorted Bitcoin at $86,200 and is placing additional short orders in the $86,500 to $89,500 range to build a swing short position. The current target remains $79,000. Upon reaching that level, he will decide whether to take profit and close, or continue holding the short based on Bitcoin's price reaction.

He stated that the deepest correction range he is considering is $69,000 to $71,000, and he does not expect the price to drop to lower levels. Although the short entered at $86,200 has already worked, he will evaluate the market level by level rather than directly betting on a deep correction.

His next step will be to first observe the support performance near $79,000, and based on that, determine whether the decline continues or reverses to extend the bull market and set a new local high.
