An Unexpected Claim from One of the Crypto Market’s Most Well-Known Figures: “If This Altcoin Delivers on Its Promises, It Could Rise 10–15x”

Ansem, a well-known figure in the cryptocurrency market, suggested that PumpFun’s native token, $PUMP, could increase in value 10 to 15 times if it improves its community relations and delivers on its previously promised airdrops.

In its assessment, Ansem stated that token buybacks alone may not be sufficient to support the valuation of projects. Noting that Hyperliquid has an annualized revenue of approximately $800 million and PumpFun approximately $440 million, Ansem reminded that both platforms regularly use a portion of their profits for token buybacks.

However, he pointed out that the valuation difference between the two tokens is quite high. According to data shared by Ansem, HYPE’s fully diluted market capitalization is approximately $65 billion, while $PUMP’s fully diluted valuation remains at around $1.4 billion.

According to Ansem, the main reason for this large difference is not the companies’ revenue performance, but rather the “trust premium” created by team behavior and market decisions. Ansem noted that the Hyperliquid team rarely makes excessive promises, regularly launches new products, and rewards its core users based on predetermined criteria, stating that this approach builds a high level of trust between the team and the community.

Ansem stated that PumpFun has generated approximately $1 billion in revenue to date and raised $1 billion through token sales, but added that the promised airdrops have not yet been delivered to users.

Ansem argued that if the Pump.fun team fulfills its airdrop promises and addresses the concerns of the platform’s core users, the price of $PUMP could increase 10 to 15 times. He noted that such a development would not only boost the token price but also increase the platform’s trading volume, popularity, and revenue.

In his assessment, Ansem cited Bitcoin as an example, stating that Bitcoin’s ability to reach a market capitalization of approximately $1.3 trillion, despite not generating any revenue, was made possible by its fixed supply of 21 million units and the trust built by the uninterrupted operation of the network.
