David Hirsch, the former chief of the crypto asset and cyber unit in the <a href="https://coingape.com/us-sec-commissioner-lauds-the-relevance-of-tokenization/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission</a>‘s (SEC) enforcement division, has denied reports claiming he would join Pump.fun.

After announcing his departure from the SEC after nearly nine years, speculation arose about Hirsch’s next career move. Binance News reported that he would join Pump.fun as a trading director, fueling rumors and excitement within the crypto community. However, Hirsch swiftly dismissed these claims, stating, “This is false. I have not announced my next role yet, but it is not with this or any <a href="https://coingape.com/community-revolts-as-top-analyst-labels-memecoin-investments-gambling/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">memecoin</a> platform.”
In an unconventional move, Pump.fun embraced the news and announced that Hirsch had joined as its trading head. The platform claimed that Hirsch realized his work “was no longer fulfilling” and that “he had to start a new chapter.” Pump.fun also stated, “A memelord at heart, David will be in charge of pump dot fun’s new internal trading desk, which will launch over 1,000 coins per day.

The news sparked mixed reactions within the crypto community, with some users questioning the validity of the reports while others embraced the news humorously. One user even joked that Pump.fun “Should have gone for <a href="https://coingape.com/billionaire-mark-cuban-says-gary-gensler-can-cost-joe-biden-the-election/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Gary Gensler </a>instead,” referring to the current SEC chair. Interestingly, 17 David Hirsch tokens were created on the Pump after the news.fun site.
