A recent report from BitMEX $495.49K showed that a majority of those who bought PUMP during its presale have already sold or transferred their tokens.

Despite the decline, the token’s debut price of $0.0056 was still about 40% higher than its presale price, which analysts described as better than expected given the high number of tokens unlocked at launch.

BitMEX noted that similar situations often lead traders to bet against the PUMP token, which puts downward pressure on it. The exchange said:

Typically, such conditions as PUMP, large floats and quick profits, lead to aggressive hedging and strong downward pressure in derivatives markets.

Even so, BitMEX warned that the long-term value of the PUMP token depends on whether Pump.fun can maintain its trading activity. The platform’s trading volumes have dropped from $11.6 billion in January to $3.65 billion in June.
