Pump.fun Acquires Vyper to Boost Memecoin Trading and EVM Cross‑Chain Execution

Published: 2026-02-06 08:13:02 |

Pump.fun has acquired Solana-origin project Vyper and will migrate Vyper’s infrastructure and team into its Terminal trading platform to strengthen memecoin trading tools, speed execution and expand EVM-focused cross-chain compatibility. Vyper will be phased out as a standalone product from Feb 10, 2026; select features (private key export, wallet tracking data, configuration tools) will be retained during migration. Existing Vyper users are offered a limited-time 90% cashback on Terminal fees for the first month after migration. The acquisition follows Pump.fun’s earlier purchases (Padre → Terminal, Kolscan) and the launch of Pump Fund, and aims to reduce tooling fragmentation while improving execution quality on EVM chains such as Base. Pump.fun said integrating Vyper will materially improve EVM support and multi-chain liquidity, targeting high-frequency memecoin trading. The announcement coincided with a surge of interest in the PUMP token, with reported daily volume near $366 million. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Bullish

The acquisition is likely bullish for the PUMP token in both the short and medium term. Short-term, consolidation news and the announced cashback promotion can drive speculative trading and elevated volume, as evidenced by the spike to ~$366M daily volume. Integrating Vyper’s execution tools into Terminal signals improved infrastructure and execution on EVM chains (including Base), which can attract more traders and liquidity to PUMP trading pairs. Medium- to long-term, reducing tooling fragmentation and delivering better cross-chain execution may strengthen user retention and use of Pump.fun’s products, supporting sustained demand for PUMP if utility and volume persist. Risks that could limit upside include undisclosed financial terms, execution risks during migration, and overall market weakness; these could mute gains or cause volatility, but the strategic consolidation and active promotional incentives point to a net positive price impact for PUMP.
