Pump Fun offers $2.5M prize as traders boycott its missing airdrop
Crypto traders are boycotting the memecoin platform Pump Fun this week over the firm’s lack of airdrop, numerous rug pulls, and its chaotic token launch with the crypto trader Kimchi.
Users across X have been sharing the “BOYCOTTPUMPFUN” hashtag, along with its own graphic, in an attempt to hold Pump Fun accountable for the “worst month ever in the trenches.” One of the earliest examples of the boycott graphic was shared by the crypto X user ‘RonPull’ last Friday. #BOYCOTTPUMPFUN pic.twitter.com/BNxgWLFBiY — RON (@RonPull) October 23, 2026 It’s been 474 days since Pump Fun teased that an airdrop was “coming soon.”
Duval claimed the boycott would work with just a few thousand crypto traders and that he wants to hold Pump Fun accountable for using "misleading marketing tactics to lure in new participants and artificially increase trading volume.” Other users have joined the boycott while complaining that Pump Fun are “money extractors” that is only benefiting itself and the individuals it partners with.
