Pump Fun recently pivoted its business strategy, shifting from a memecoin launch platform toward a venture capital model. The move signals a strategic repositioning—essentially consolidating resources into backing emerging tokens rather than maintaining open platform mechanics. Market observers note this transition effectively narrows the token selection, concentrating capital flows around VC-backed projects rather than grassroots launches. The shift raises questions about market concentration and value extraction dynamics in the current cycle.

It's the same old VC money-grabbing trick, pushing retail investors out.

Here comes the same old trick of harvesting retail investors again? Pump Fun went from democratization to VC monopoly—classic capital exploitation, brother.

Nah, this is a clear sign of betraying retail completely. Pump Fun is essentially a centralized money-grabbing machine.

It's the old trick of VCs cutting leeks again. Pump Fun has completely given up on grassroots investors.

Damn, Pump Fun has completely given up? Switching from an open platform to a VC model, in simple terms, it's just a circle business.

It's the old trick of VCs harvesting retail investors again. Pump Fun really broke the defense this time.
