Pump.fun, a platform known for launching meme coins, has reportedly initiated layoffs just two months before the unlocking of their allocated tokens. Sources indicate that the layoffs occurred in early April, impacting about 25% of the team. This move is significant as employees will have access to a quarter of the PUMP tokens in mid-June. Reports highlight that at least one former employee stands to lose out on assets valued in the millions due to their dismissal. As of now, the Pump.fun team has not issued any official statement regarding these developments.
