Pump.fun adds TON support for Telegram-linked memecoin trading

TON’s official account welcomed the integration, while Pump.fun co-founder Alon Cohen highlighted user demand for broader token access. The addition also strengthens the platform’s strategy of becoming a multi-chain trading interface rather than focusing exclusively on tokens launched within its original Solana ecosystem. The launch comes as Pump.fun faces scrutiny over trading fees and platform economics. While the TON integration could open the app to new users and token communities, its longer-term impact will depend on trading activity, execution costs, liquidity, and whether users find the experience competitive with existing TON trading platforms. The new integration allows users to purchase tokens on TON using their USDC balance within the Pump.fun app. This reduces the need to navigate separate applications for users who want to explore tokens launched on TON.
