One of the biggest token sale moments on Solana just happened. Pump.fun has officially raised $500 million in under 12 minutes during the public sale of its native token, $PUMP all at a price of $0.004 per token. That puts the fully diluted valuation at $4 billion, and all tokens are now locked for 48 to 72 hours before they start showing up on chain.
