Lawyers File Lawsuit Against Solana-Based Meme Coin Platform Pump.fun

A cryptocurrency-focused legal firm has filed a lawsuit against Solana-based platform Pump.fun, representing investors who claim to have suffered significant financial losses.

According to the firm, its decision to take legal action comes after several months of collaborating with individuals who have suffered considerable financial losses from meme coins, rug pulls, and unmet promises in the crypto space.

In an X post, Burwick Law confirmed its plans to sue the platform over its meme coin trading operations. “Burwick Law is pursuing legal action on behalf of investors in pumpdotfun meme coins. If you lost money on any pumpdotfun meme coins, you may be entitled to compensation,” they wrote.

The firm's decision to take legal action comes after several months of collaborating with individuals who have suffered considerable financial losses from meme coins, rug pulls, and unmet promises in the crypto space, according to Burwick Law.

“In the past few months, pumpdotfun has collected hundreds of millions of dollars in fees while illicit drug use, self-harm, racism, antisemitism, lewd acts, bestiality, violent and other antisocial acts were displayed on the platform,” the firm added.

This legal action follows reports from on-chain analyst Adam Tehc, who revealed via his Dune dashboard that Pump.fun recorded a weekly trading volume of $2.2 billion.

The report showed that, out of the 14 million wallet addresses on Pump.fun, only 57,144 users have earned profits exceeding $10,000, with just 298 wallets — about 0.00217% — generating over $1 million in returns.

The firm also criticized the platform's anonymous creator, highlighting a contradiction between their stated commitment to transparency for scaling and engaging with retail investors and the lack of accountability.

Burwick Law is actively seeking individuals who may be part of a class-action group to join the ongoing investigation.

The platform allows crypto enthusiasts to create and launch their own tokens without requiring advanced technical skills. However, the platform has faced increasing criticism recently, especially for its livestream feature, which enabled memecoin creators to broadcast promotional stunts, some of which were considered unsafe or irresponsible.

In response to the backlash, Pump.fun suspended the livestream service to prevent further incidents and potential harm to users and viewers.
