Memecoin Accounts Including Pump.fun Taken Down by X in Sudden Enforcement Action

Pump.fun and Memecoin Allies Vanish From X Amid Rumors of Crackdown

Just days ahead of a rumored billion-dollar token sale, Pump.fun and several other prominent memecoin-linked accounts have been abruptly suspended from X, triggering widespread speculation across the crypto community.

The Solana-based launchpad’s official account, along with co-founder Alon Cohen’s personal handle, disappeared from the platform on June 16, with no explanation from X. Other memecoin-adjacent pages—GMGN, Bloom Trading, BullX, and ElizaOS—were also taken down earlier in the week.

No formal reason has been provided, but theories are swirling. Some point to possible API violations or content policy breaches, while others believe it could be an early signal of regulatory scrutiny, particularly from U.S. authorities circling the fast-growing but often chaotic memecoin scene.

Despite the social blackout, Pump.fun’s website is still live, with new Solana memecoins launching in real-time. The sudden disruption, however, has revived concerns about the project’s past issues—especially last year’s decision to disable its livestream feature after reports of dangerous and inappropriate content.

Now, with no access to major communication channels and a high-stakes token event looming, Pump.fun’s visibility has taken a hit—raising questions about whether this marks the start of a broader crackdown on crypto-native platforms that blur the line between tech innovation and financial risk.
