The sale was supposed to start on June\u202f25. Instead, the launchpad now aims for mid\u2011July. That\u2019s at least a 10\u2011day shift, and possibly longer.<\/p>\n<p>Users who planned around the June date have to sit tight again. Frustration is growing in online chat groups, where some members point fingers at the core team for poor communication.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Exclusive: The Pumpfun token auction and listing, originally scheduled for June 25, has been postponed again and is now expected to take place in mid-July.<\/p>\n<p>Sources familiar with the matter disclosed that since Pumpfun began planning to issue and auction tokens late last year,\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/UD0xIb45FA\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/UD0xIb45FA<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Wu Blockchain (@WuBlockchain) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WuBlockchain\/status\/1936055496743833965?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">June 20, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2><strong>Lawsuit Accuses Platform Of Securities Violations<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>On January\u202f15, Burwick Law filed a class action lawsuit against Pump.fun.

They argue that several user\u2011generated memecoins on Pump.fun infringe on trademark rights.<\/p>\n<p>That move opened another front of legal risk. Projects tied to big brands or franchises suddenly faced takedown notices.
