Solana trader Kimchi added Pump.fun back to his X bio on Sunday, October 25, three days after removing it, and the KIMCHI meme coin briefly jumped more than 150%. The move reopens the Kimchi crypto saga that began with a deleted token post and a crash last week. Neither Kimchi nor Pump.fun has explained either change.<\/p>\n
The comeback landed hours before Pump.fun\u2019s $2.5 million Squads trading competition opens on Monday. The PUMP token<\/a> hasn\u2019t followed: it trades at $0.0042, down 20% from last Wednesday\u2019s high. So what happened, and what does the bio change mean?<\/p>\n 3 days after removing @pumpfun<\/a> from his bio, @kimchi1x<\/a> has added it back.$Kimchi<\/a> briefly surged over 150%.<\/p>\n Coincidentally, trader ja2trader spent $28.9K buying 4.61M $Kimchi<\/a> just hours before @kimchi1x<\/a> added @pumpfun<\/a> back to his bio, and is now up $11K.\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/Wy02vID70j<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Lookonchain (@lookonchain) October 26, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n\n DISCOVER: 10+ Next Crypto to 100X In 2026<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n It went from a signing to a crash in two days.<\/p>\n October 20:<\/strong> Pump.fun signed Kimchi, a trader with more than 220,000 followers, to help set its \u201ccreative direction.\u201d That night, he posted his October vlog, and a token called KIMCHI (\u201cAura Final Boss\u201d) started trading within a minute of the post. Some traders said his account had been hacked. Nobody confirmed it, and on-chain tracker Lookonchain found that a group of early wallets made more than $385,000 from the crash.<\/p>\n DISCOVER:\u00a0Retail Traders Have Left Bitcoin Futures: Can BTC USD Sweep $80,000 and Bounce?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The bio is back, with the vlog link next to it. That was enough for the market. KIMCHI doubled from about $6 million to $14 million in market value almost instantly, then gave back part of the move. It now sits near $8.8 million on DEX Screener<\/a>, up about 50% in 24 hours.<\/p>\n KIMCHIUSDT Chart 1H Source: DEX Screener<\/a><\/p>\n One wallet saw it coming. A trader named ja2trader spent $28,900 on 4.61 million $Kimchi hours before the bio change and was up $11,000 when Lookonchain flagged it. That doesn\u2019t prove anyone tipped them off, but it is the second time in a week that a Kimchi move came with well-timed buyers.<\/p>\n So what is happening? Most likely, the deal is restored, or it never truly concluded. The timing points that way. Pump.fun\u2019s Squads competition, with $1.5 million for the winning team, opens on Monday at 14:00 UTC, and Alon has spent the weekend promoting it<\/a>. A trader with Kimchi\u2019s following is exactly who the launchpad wants on its leaderboard.<\/p>\n The risk is trust. Pump.fun still hasn\u2019t explained the deleted repost, and Kimchi hasn\u2019t said whether he was hacked. Each silent move now sends a token up or down within minutes, which rewards whoever acts first. Until one of them speaks, traders are betting on a bio line.<\/p>\n PUMPUSDT\u00a0TradingView<\/a><\/p>\n The Kimchi deal hasn\u2019t helped PUMP so far. The token climbed to $0.005224 on October 21, the day after the signing, then lost 18% in five days. It now trades below its 50-day EMA at $0.004607.<\/p>\n The first support is $0.003832, the October 18 low. Below it, $0.00375 is the floor that held in late September. On the upside, PUMP needs to reclaim the 50-day EMA first, and then $0.005224 to show the Kimchi news is helping.<\/p>\n EXPLORE:\u00a0Best Crypto Presales With Asymmetric Upside in the Current Market<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Follow\u00a099Bitcoins on X<\/a>\u00a0For the Latest Market Updates and\u00a0Subscribe on YouTube<\/a>\u00a0For Daily Expert Market Analysis.<\/strong><\/p>\n The post Kimchi Puts Pump.fun Back in His Bio and His Token Jumps 150%: Is the Partnership Back On?<\/a> appeared first on 99Bitcoins<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Solana trader Kimchi added Pump.fun back to his X bio on Sunday, October 25, three days after removing it, and the KIMCHI meme coin briefly jumped more than 150%.
