Pump.fone has acquired crypto trading terminal Viper, which will phase out its standalone product and move its infrastructure to the Solana MimiCoin Launchpad ecosystem.
On Friday, Vapor said that core parts of its products would begin shutting down on Tuesday, while limited functions would remain accessible. Users were directed to Pump.Phone’s Terminal (formerly Padre) to continue using the tools.
The move reflects a broader strategy by Pump.com to streamline more trading workflows, from token launches to execution and analytics, as Memcon activity cools from the speculative frenzy of late 2024 and early 2025.
The companies did not disclose financial terms of the deal. Pump.fun did not respond to questions from QuantileGraph prior to publication.
Expanding beyond token launches
Pump.Phone’s acquisition of Vaper moves into pre-commercial infrastructure. On October 24, Pump. Finn acquires trading terminal Padre to stabilize liquidity and improve execution for tokens launched on its platform. Padre was later re-designated and now serves as a terminal.
In January, Pump.Fin also launched an investment arm called Pump Fund, marking what the company described as a pivot away from a pure Memcoin focus.
On January 20, the Pump Fund plans to back $3 million in hackathons as well as early-stage projects, not directly related to crypto.

Stability among the cooling mimecoin market
The expansion comes as memecoin activity has fallen from peaks when celebrities and several government leaders launched their tokens. Pump.phone’s growth was driven by intense speculative activity on Solana, but revenues have since declined as memecoins’ popularity has weakened.
Data from Defilama shows that in January 2025, pump.fun has a monthly revenue of more than $137 million. That number has dropped 77 percent over the next year, with the platform generating about $31 million in January 2026.
In December 2024, the estimated market capitalization of memecoins tracked by CoinmarketCap exceeded $100 billion. At the time of writing, the sector was worth about $28 billion, a decline of about 72%.
