Pump.fun buys Vyper to boost Terminal trading automation as memecoin valuations and revenues slide

Pump.fun completed its acquisition of crypto trading service Vyper last week, integrating its automation tools into the company's Terminal platform while Vyper winds down most operations on February 10, 2026. The move follows Pump.fun's October 24 purchase of Padre and comes as total memecoin market value has fallen from over $100 billion in December 2024 to about $28 billion, with the platform's monthly revenue dropping from more than $137 million in January 2025 to roughly $31 million by January 2026. Despite the downturn, around 30,000 new tokens were launched on February 2, 2026, underscoring ongoing demand for trading automation and multi-chain tools.
