The native token of Solana memecoin launchpad Pump.fun tagged a two-month high of $0.002087 on July 20, gaining roughly 13% on the day and around 40% over the prior seven days. Twenty-four-hour trading volume surged more than 400% to approximately $237 million, underlining the breadth of the move rather than a thin-liquidity spike.

The catalyst that traders pointed to was a public disclosure from <a href="https://x.com/blknoiz06" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@blknoiz06</a>, the crypto trader widely known as Ansem, who revealed a $PUMP buy and outlined a bull case for the launchpad. <cite>Ansem is a crypto trader, investor, and influencer primarily associated with the Solana ecosystem.</cite><cite>He built his reputation as an early supporter of Solana and memecoins like Dogwifhat and Bonk, and is widely credited with calling Solana's 2023 rally from around $8 to nearly $300.</cite><cite>His commentary often influences short-term market sentiment across Solana assets.</cite>
The move comes weeks after Ansem's own namesake token, <a href="https://x.com/search?q=%24ANSEM&amp;src=cashtag_click" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$ANSEM</a> (The Black Bull), became one of the more talked-about memes in Solana's trenches. <cite>A Solana memecoin called The Black Bull (ANSEM) climbed nearly 20,000% in seven days in late June 2026, pushing its market cap past $60 million from a starting point measured in the tens of thousands of dollars.</cite> That run reanimated broader interest in Solana's memecoin culture, and Ansem's willingness to now go public with a $PUMP position has added fresh momentum to the launchpad's own token.
Pump.fun itself remains one of the dominant forces in Solana's on-chain economy. <cite>According to DefiLlama, Pump.fun's annualized fees were $268.83 million as of April 2026, showing the platform was still generating large fee volume after its earlier peak growth phase.</cite> Traders will be watching whether Ansem's endorsement is enough to sustain the rally or whether $PUMP gives back gains as attention rotates to the next narrative.
As with all memecoin-adjacent assets, price moves can reverse sharply. This article is for informational purposes only and is not financial advice.
