Memecoin Platform Pump.fun Reintroduces Its Livestream Feature To 5% Of Its Users

Pump.fun Brings Back Livestream Services

The Pump.fun, one of the most used meme coin launchpads in the crypto sector, has announced the revival of its live stream features after previously banning them. The official confirmation of this new update came through the project’s co-founder, Alon Cohen’s X account. This revival will address various safety and integrity concerns previously raised by its community.

In the X post made on the 4th of April, Cohen conveyed that the “Pump fun livestream will be rolled out to 5% of users with industry standard moderation systems in place and transparent guidelines”. If all goes according to plan, the platform will successfully create an environment where users can freely raise their voices and express their opinions amongst others, as long as they don’t do anything illegal or harmful.

Context on Pump.fun’s Previous Ban of Livestream

The Pump.fun previously banned its livestream on the 25th of November 2025 after a number of its users started displaying erratic and extremely disturbing behaviour to promote their meme coin projects. These behaviours included suicide threats, child abuse, and other videos of explicit nature, and all of this was published with the sole aim to manipulate the price of newly launched tokens.

As these acts kept on adding up, the platform was on the receiving end of extreme backlashes, especially from the broader crypto community. This prompted the company to acknowledge the flows of their unrestricted livestream feature and shut it down. This shutdown has helped the platform convey that it will take any concerns from its community very seriously, especially the ones concerning safety issues.

Livestream To Adopt Stricter Policies

According to the Pump.fun platform, the new livestream feature will employ stricter policies to prevent any mistakes from its past. This includes prohibiting contents that feature violence, explicit sexual themes, or is harmful to kids. And, if the platform finds anyone violating these policies, their account will be suspended on the spot, and based on the extent of the violation, they may also be subjected to permanent removal from the platform.

The policies will be implemented per the platform’s discretion, and every user will be responsible for abiding by them, meaning they should check twice before including “sensitive content” in their livestreams. Even though these policies are implemented to safeguard integrity, they could also result in tension among community members, especially as most of them chose the platform for its autonomous and decentralized nature.

Livestream Introduction Amid Meme Coin Sector Downfall

Pump.fun’s decision to bring back their livestream comes at a time when the popularity of meme coins is rapidly declining. The main reason for this downfall was the high-profile rug pulls on the high-famed tokens like LIBRA and MELANIA. This, coupled with the poor performance of other meme tokens like TRUMP, has significantly brought down the market value of the Meme coin sector.

Per the reports from various sources, this rapid decline has reached a value of over 90% from its January highs. Also, the graduation rate of Pump.fun tokens have fallen below 1% from the previous rate of 1.67%. This has resulted in a dwindling number of Solana-based token inceptions in the market compared to the previous months. The current introduction of the live stream feature also aims to improve this situation. We will see how it unfolds pretty soon, and as for updates regarding the matter, just stay tuned.
