Pump.fun Rolls Out Frictionless Multi-Chain Trading on EVM Networks

On May 26, 2026, Pump.fun launched frictionless multi-chain trading across Ethereum, Base, BNB Chain and other EVM networks, allowing users to trade via auto-generated wallets while settling exclusively in SOL and with the platform subsidizing gas fees. The Solana-native memecoin platform, originally launched in January 2024, reached over $1 billion in cumulative revenue after acquiring Padre (Terminal) in October 2025 and Vyper in February 2026. Subdomains for the new chains were registered in March 2026. The expansion removes bridging friction and integrates liquidity from DEXs such as Raydium and Meteora, boosting SOL utility while raising sustainability and fragmentation concerns.
