Pump.Fun Surges as Whale Buying Fuels $40M Capital Inflows

Pump.fun (PUMP) has seen a notable gain over the past day, crossing into double-digit percentage change territory.

Data suggests that this rally is driven by capital inflows, particularly from the perpetual market, with traders pushing Open Interest up by approximately $40.83 million in fresh capital.

This brings the total to $355.08 million at the time of writing, with long capital dominating over short positions as indicated by the rising Funding Rate.

The significant surge in the Funding Rate implies that more of the fresh capital over the past day came from traders expecting a rally in the short term.
