The much-anticipated Pump.fun token sale made waves in the crypto world, raising $500 million in under 12 minutes as investors rushed to secure their share. With volatility expected post-launch, crypto strategist 0xSun shared key hedging strategies to help traders navigate the turbulent waters ahead.
$500M Raised – But Questions Remain
- 12.5% of total supply sold to the public
- Tokens will be non-transferable for 48-72 hours after distribution
- Initial plan was to sell 15% ($600M target), but the team hasn’t explained the discrepancy
The sale follows Pump.fun’s acquisition of Kolscan, a tracking tool aimed at improving trading transparency.
0xSun’s Hedging Strategy for Pump.fun Buyers
With bullish sentiment from analysts like Ansem and Izebel—but skepticism from others—0xSun advises a balanced approach:
✅ Watch the ICO pace – If it sells out fast, consider participating
✅ Hedge positions to protect against volatility
✅ Prepare for two scenarios:
- Futures squeeze (short liquidations)
- Spot price pumps while tokens are locked (negative funding rates)
Despite $720M in VC backing at a $4B valuation, 0xSun warns: “Success isn’t guaranteed.”
