Pump.fun acquires Vyper to expand cross-chain trading terminal

Solana memecoin launchpad Pump.fun has acquired trading execution terminal Vyper in its latest strategic expansion.

In a post on X on Thursday, Vyper wrote that Pump.fun had officially acquired Vyper, adding that its team and tech will now join Pump.fun's broader product suite.

"Vyper's infrastructure will soon be migrated to [Terminal]," the team said. "As part of that process, Vyper will soon be sunsetting."

The Vyper acquisition builds on Pump.fun's earlier push into trading infrastructure. In October 2025, Pump.fun acquired Padre and later rebranded it as Terminal — a multichain trading platform focusing on memecoins and high-speed execution.

"EVM support is a core focus for Terminal. With Vyper's infrastructure & talent, expect trading on EVM (including Base) to massively improve," the Terminal team said Thursday on X.

Pump.fun co-founder Alon Cohen described the Vyper acquisition as part of a broader expansion strategy, even as market conditions remain challenging. "Despite market conditions, we're expanding our team rapidly and aggressively," Cohen wrote on X. 

Cohen said the addition of Vyper team members with experience in onchain trading would strengthen Pump.fun's ability to build "super rapid and efficient cross-chain trading infrastructure," which he said would be critical as the company continues investing in its core platform, its mobile app, and Terminal.

Neither Pump.fun nor Vyper has disclosed financial details of the deal. The Block has reached out to both teams for further information.

Pump.fun continues to evolve its services, including its incentive structure. Earlier this month, the company overhauled its creator fee model to introduce broader revenue sharing, allowing teams to split fees across up to 10 wallets, transfer coin ownership and revoke update authority.

The platform has also seen a renewed surge in activity. According to The Block's data, nearly 30,000 tokens were launched on Pump.fun on Feb. 2, compared with roughly 9,000 to 13,000 daily launches in early October 2025.
