the co-founder of Pump.fun stated that the integration with Donate.gg's Charity Coins can not only reduce friction in the Meme coin ecosystem's operation but also help Meme coins gain further legitimacy. He noted that this mechanism can help charities access the crypto donation system more securely.He also announced that Pump.fun-related entities have launched a donation matching program for all Charity Coins. The more charitable funds raised from creator fees, the higher the platform's matching contribution will be.

It currently supports compliant donations to over 10,000 charitable organizations.
According to an official announcement by Pump.fun, the platform has completed the burning of all previously repurchased $PUMP tokens, amounting to approximately $370 million—roughly 36% of the circulating supply. The burn was executed via two on-chain transactions at 20:52 UTC. Simultaneously, Pump.fun has launched a programmable buyback-and-burn mechanism, allocating 50% of its net revenue over the next year toward publicly purchasing $PUMP on the open market and immediately burning 100% of the acquired tokens. This mechanism is enforced via an immutable smart contract covering revenue streams from Pump.fun’s three core product lines: the bonding curve, PumpSwap, and Terminal. Its execution comprises four steps: fee collection, aggregation into an intermediate wallet, buyback, and burn—all of which can be tracked in real time at fees.pump.fun. The remaining 50% of revenue will fund operational expenses and ecosystem development, including team expansion, strategic investments, and marketing initiatives. Pump.fun stated that this move aims to address community concerns regarding the token’s long-term value and the transparency of the buyback mechanism, with the overarching goal of continuously reducing the circulating supply.
