Pump.fun co-founder, Alon Cohen, comments below a post by crypto KOL Downsin Jerome that claims there will be an alleged airdrop for Solana wallet holders on July 24.<\/p>\n

In a recent post<\/a>, crypto influencer Downsin Jerome claimed that the meme coin launchpad platform\u2019s co-founder Alon Cohen allegedly confirmed that there will be an airdrop for the project\u2019s native token on July 24 at 15:00 UTC for eligible Solana (SOL) wallets.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlon Cohen, Co-Founder and CEO of Pump.fun, has officially announced that distribution of the $PUMP airdrop to eligible active Solana wallets will commence on July 24, 2025, at 15:00 UTC,\u201d wrote Jerome in a recent post.<\/p>\n

In response to the viral post which has attracted more than 330k views, Alon took to X to react<\/a> to the post. Alon shared a gif from from the Dreamworks animated movie, Monster vs Aliens. The gif depicted the one-eyed blue blob character, B.O.B, with his eye just shifting back and forth.<\/p>\n

Although Alon did not directly confirm or deny the news of an alleged airdrop, many traders took it as a sign that a PUMP (PUMP) airdrop may be on the horizon.<\/p>\n

However, many also saw it as confusion from the co-founder, who may not have even announced the news in the first place.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe ain\u2019t getting airdrops boys just face it,\u201d said one user.<\/p>\n

\u201cBro is replying to an air drop troll post instead of giving actual info on when\/if it\u2019s happening,\u201d wrote another commenter.<\/p>\n
