Promote with Leviathan NewsA Pump.fun streamer identified in the X post as @yskaelaa is being accused by critics of a rug pull after a token launch and ensuing price collapse drew accusations of fraud and “hate” on X. The public dispute reflects a broader pattern around Pump.fun, where livestreamed meme-coin launches have frequently attracted allegations of manipulation, insider selling, and rug pulls. The immediate context is that Pump.fun sits inside Solana’s fast-moving memecoin economy, which has been repeatedly flagged by risk researchers for very high rates of collapse or manipulation. Solidus Labs said roughly 98.7% of Pump.fun tokens and 93% of Raydium liquidity pools it studied showed characteristics of pump-and-dump schemes or rug pulls, underscoring why even small livestream token launches can rapidly become reputational flashpoints. In response to the backlash, the streamer said she would donate 70% of creator rewards to charity and use the remaining 30% for token buybacks, while denying that she had sold tokens. That matters because it shifts the story from a single creator controversy to a wider debate over how much accountability livestreamed token launches on Pump.fun should carry, especially when creators claim community purpose while critics suspect extraction or deception.
