I believe this is not only an insult to women and their families but also an international issue.
I looked into the incident, and it’s definitely not something that should become famous in this way.
A much more sincere and public apology is necessary.
Pumpfun and Fomo are officially at war for the memecoin trading market🚨
Here’s what’s happening:
Fomo has been growing fast by turning memecoin trading into something much more social.
Fomo lets users follow traders, see what they’re buying, read their thesis, track their calls and execute directly from the same feed.
Basically: Twitter + Dexscreener + trading terminal inside one app.
And investors clearly think this model can become huge.
Fomo has reportedly raised $94M
$17M came from a Series A led by Benchmark.
Then in June 2026, Index Ventures led another $75M Series B at a reported $550M valuation.
Fomo is trying to own the place where traders discover what to buy before they actually buy it.
And Pumpfun seems to have noticed.
On August 7, Pumpfun suddenly upgraded its app with:
- Token callouts sent directly to followers
- 0 trading fees
- Cross-chain transactions using USDC
CT immediately interpreted it as a direct attack on Fomo.
And you can understand why.
Pumpfun already dominates one of the most important parts of the memecoin ecosystem.
Token creation.
Millions of traders already associate Pump with finding and trading new memecoins.
(This also affected their reputation)
Its $PUMP token sits again close to billion-dollar market cap.
But copying the features doesn’t automatically mean Pump has won.
Because Fomo still appears to have one major advantage:
Social trading and better UX.
Pump was faster.
But Fomo had a cleaner layout for explaining the thesis behind a trade, while Pump felt more cluttered and overwhelming.
They’re now fighting over who controls discovery.
Because think about how memecoin trading works today.
But they’re approaching it from opposite sides.
- Fomo started with social and added trading.
- Pump started with trading and is now adding social.
And they’re slowly meeting in the middle.
If Pump can offer similar social features for free while already controlling the memecoin liquidity and distribution, Fomo has to prove that its feed is significantly better.
But Pump copying Fomo also tells us something important.
Fomo found a market Pump doesn’t want to lose.
Because whoever controls that “first” moment controls something much bigger than a trading terminal.
They control the feed.
@Excalibur_Token@blknoiz06 If you’re willing to invest in the presentation, I’d also recommend taking inspiration from Japanese pachinko machines. The suspense, flashy animations, and dramatic effects could make the experience much more engaging.
