Pump.fun Expands Trading Infrastructure With Vyper Acquisition
Pump.fun has acquired crypto trading terminal Vyper, which will wind down its standalone product and migrate its infrastructure into the Solana memecoin launchpad’s ecosystem. On Friday, Vyper said core parts of its product will begin shutting down on Tuesday, while limited functions will remain accessible.
Users were directed to Pump.fun’s Terminal (formerly Padre) to continue using the tools. The move reflects a broader strategy by Pump.fun to consolidate more of the trading workflow, from token launches to execution and analytics, as memecoin activity cools from the speculative frenzy of late 2024 and early 2025.
The companies did not disclose the financial terms of the deal. Pump.fun did not respond to a query before publication. Pump.fun’s acquisition of Vyper follows earlier moves into trading infrastructure. On Oct. 24, Pump.fun acquired trading terminal Padre to strengthen liquidity and improve execution for tokens launched on its platform.
