TL;DR<\/p>\n
A private investor lost $6M after transferring tokens to Binance before the spot listing was available.<\/span> A large PUMP holder lost millions after a mistimed move. The wallet known as \u201cPUMP Top Fund 2\u201d sent 2 billion tokens, then worth $12.79 million, to Binance eight days ago, hoping to sell. But Binance had not listed PUMP on spot markets, and the tokens were returned. Once the funds came back, the investor quickly moved them to Bybit.<\/span><\/p>\n By the time of the transfer, the price had dropped to $0.003. The tokens were then worth $6.93 million. If sold today, that\u2019s a loss of nearly $6 million from the peak value.<\/span><\/p>\n Costly Mistake: A Private Sale Investor Misses $6M Exit After Binance Deposit Blunder<\/p>\n Private sale investor \u201cPUMP Top Fund 2\u201d deposited 2B $PUMP<\/a>($12.79M at the time) into Binance 8 days ago, when the price of $PUMP<\/a> was $0.0064.<\/p>\n But since Binance did not list $PUMP<\/a> spot, the 2B\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/SGB8D4bjX2<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Lookonchain (@lookonchain) July 24, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n\n In addition, two wallets <\/span>tied<\/span><\/a> to early investors sold 1.25 billion PUMP tokens for $3.81 million. The average price was $0.00305, about half the price from a week ago. These wallets lost around $1.19 million on the trades.<\/span><\/p>\n Data <\/span>shows<\/span><\/a> that \u201cTop Fund 1\u201d and \u201cTop Fund 2\u201d had received over $150 million worth of tokens during the presale.

Trading volume topped $933 million. The decline came after the project\u2019s founder <\/span>said<\/span><\/a> there would be no airdrop soon. That update triggered selling from holders expecting extra rewards.<\/span><\/p>\n Meanwhile, the token is now down over 44% in the past seven days.
