PRICE SURGE Crypto Whales Transfer $160 Million To Exchanges: Is More Blood Coming?

Investors involved in the private sale of the Bull run.fun (PUMP) memecoin have started unloading billions of tokens onto exchanges, sparking worries about a possible dump as the token’s price dips below its original sale price.

According to blockchain analytics firm Lookonchain, two early investors in the memecoin, referred to in Solscan as “PUMP Top Fund 1” and “PUMP Top Fund 2,” have sent over $160 million in BULL RUN tokens to centralized exchanges.

The $PUMP price has declined below its private/public sale price of $0.004.

“PUMP Top Fund 1” used 100M $USDC to acquire 25B $PUMP at $0.004 during the private sale.
To date, he has transferred 17B $PUMP($89.5M) to exchanges via #FalconX and still retains 8B $PUMP($29.58M).

PUMP Crypto Private Sale Big investor is Offloading Millions of Dollars Worth of the Bull run.fun Token to Exchanges – More Trouble Ahead?

During the private sale, Top Fund 1 purchased 25 billion tokens for $100 million in USDC. In the past week, this wallet has sent 17 billion tokens, worth nearly $90 million, to exchanges. Despite this selling, the crypto wallet retains tokens valued at around $29.5 million.

The second crypto wallet obtained 12.5 billion tokens for $50 million during the private sale and has completely offloaded the entire amount, valued at more than $71 million, to exchanges.

Though the PUMP token exhibited uptrend behavior right after its launch, it has been negatively affected by a high unlock percentage. Based on CoinGecko data, the token’s price sank to an all-time low of $0.003642 today (July 22), marking a 46.5% drop from its all-time high of $0.006812 and a 32% fall since its launch on July 15.

Current prices reflect a 7% decline from its presale price of $0.004, indicating that presale investors who haven’t sold their tokens are experiencing unrealized losses.

At this time, it is uncertain whether the PUMP crypto large holder intends to offload the $90 million worth of tokens that have been moved to exchanges. Such large-scale deposits typically suggest significant sell-offs may be imminent.

On July 13, Pump.fun secured nearly $500 million on Solana during the ICO of the PRICE SURGE coin, selling out in just 12 minutes. However, it seems that participants are keen to offload their tokens after the presale.

Four days later, on July 17, BitMEX shared on-chain data revealing that almost 60% of PUMP presale participants sold or transferred their tokens to exchanges or different wallets. At that moment, only 37.4% of the presale participants kept their tokens, while merely 3% opted to increase their holdings.

Analysts at BitMEX remarked that PUMP’s bull run post-launch is unexpected, given its elevated unlock percentage and warned that large floats could trigger significant downward pressure in derivatives markets.

Meanwhile, the wider memecoin sector has begun to show signs of stagnation. CoinGecko data indicate that the overall trading market cap for memecoins reached a peak of $87 billion on July 21, reflecting a 58% surge from its value of $55 billion on June 30.

This was followed by a swift decline to a low of $81 billion on July 22. Currently, the market capitalization of the memecoin sector stands at approximately $82 billion, according to CoinGecko.

PUMP Crypto Sentiment on Social Media at an All-Time Low

(SOURCE)

With presale investors experiencing losses and many having capitulated, there is a lack of positive commentary regarding PUMP across social media platforms. Most $PUMP mentions on X consist of bearish charts from traders and analysts, all predicting further declines.

PUMP currently trades around $0.0037, with many anticipating that $0.003 will be the next level to breach. Some predict $0.001 to be the lowest point for BULL RUN, as communication from the Price surge.fun team regarding the token’s roadmap or the anticipated free token distribution remains sparse, leaving the price seemingly in free fall.

A crypto crypto holder identified as @BenjiGanar shared their perspective on the potential trajectory of PRICE SURGE. Their X post states:

“I frequently stated how pessimistic $PUMP’s tokenomics are rn (right now), presale buyers are at a wrecked, which will lead to increased selling pressure. When airdrops occur, another wave of selling pressure is expected. After many are wrecked, we may see a favorable buying opportunity; patience is key.”

This is one of the milder pieces of feedback on PUMP crypto, with numerous individuals labeling it a scam and viewing it as a mere liquidation from the Bull run.fun team.

However, it’s worth noting that historically, hate rallies have initiated some of the most dramatic moves. Back in 2021, Filecoin (FIL) faced continual online criticism, deemed nothing but vaporware, yet later executed a near 900% surge.

More recently, Hyperliquid (HYPE) drew significant negative sentiment, with many rejoicing at its fall below $10 before it quickly regained over 400% from its lows, solidifying itself as a major contender in the L1/Decentralized Exchange arena.

Such events should serve as a caution to those who believe PRICE SURGE crypto is doomed. The team has a considerable amount of capital available to potentially orchestrate a chart reversal. Buybacks, uptrend roadmap announcements, and a timeline for the expected airdrop are all strategies that could shift momentum for PRICE SURGE.
