TL;DR
- Pump.fun resumes its live streaming feature after five months of suspension, introducing new moderation tools to prevent abusive content.
- Only 5% of users currently have access to the feature as the platform tests the new content policies and safety measures.
- The Solana ecosystem is seeking recovery, partly driven by PayPal’s recent support for SOL and LINK in a time of declining interest in meme coins.
After months of silence, Pump.fun — one of the main meme coin platforms on Solana — has reactivated its livestreaming feature. The decision comes five months after the service was suspended due to serious misuse, including violent threats and disturbing content from desperate token creators trying to pump their coin prices.
Now, the team behind Pump.fun — led by co-founder Alon Cohen — has announced the comeback of livestreaming with a completely new approach: industrial-grade moderation tools and new content policies aimed at protecting users without killing creativity. These tools are designed not only to filter dangerous content but also to automate alerts and responses to suspicious behaviors.
The Delicate Balance Between Freedom and Safety
For now, only 5% of users have access to livestreaming, as the feature is in a testing phase. The new rules strictly prohibit content involving violence, animal abuse, pornography, or any kind of endangerment to minors. However, there is still some ambiguity around what qualifies as inappropriate content, which has sparked debate within the community.
Despite these restrictions, the return of livestreaming is a positive signal: Pump.fun is not willing to disappear. The platform acknowledges past mistakes, but it also adapts, something essential in a crypto environment that evolves at lightning speed. This partial reopening is also aimed at regaining user trust after months of uncertainty and misinformation.
Solana, PayPal, and The Future of Crypto Innovation
This relaunch comes at a tricky time. Interest in meme coins has dropped sharply after several scams (such as LIBRA and MELANIA) and the crash of the TRUMP token, which has lost over 90% of its value since January. At the same time, the graduation rate of tokens on Pump.fun has fallen below 1%, showing a significant contraction in the market.
However, not all is pessimism: PayPal recently added support for SOL and LINK, which could provide fresh momentum to the Solana ecosystem. Adoption by major companies suggests that the crypto sector still has a lot to offer. And platforms like Pump.fun, if they manage to balance innovation with responsibility, could lead the next wave of digital rebirth.
