☝️ Pump.fun Unveils Holder Rewards Program

Pump.fun (PUMP) has officially launched its new Holder Rewards system, retiring the previous cashback model. Instead of cashback, trading fees now feed into a dedicated distribution wallet and are automatically distributed to eligible holders multiple times per hour—proportionally based on holdings.

To qualify, users must hold at least $20 worth of tokens. Rewards are paid in the native currency of the trading pair: SOL for SOL pairs, and PUMP for PUMP pairs. For new tokens, creators can now choose between creator fees or enabling Holder Rewards—no other options are available.

Existing protocol fee structures remain intact. SOL and USDC pairs continue with their tiered fee schedules, while custom pairs support fixed fees ranging from 0.01% to 3%, set permanently at launch.

PUMP is up +4% following the announcement.

🇺🇸 18 States Push Back Against Clarity Act

Attorneys general from 18 U.S. states are opposing the current version of the Clarity Act, warning it could undermine state authority to police crypto-market fraud and safeguard investors.

In their view, the bill grants the SEC a “unilateral right to revise the scope of federal preemption,” which might override state-level regulations—such as local registration rules for crypto platforms—not just those tied to digital assets. They’re urging Congress to protect states’ ability to oversee the crypto space and pursue enforcement actions.
