PANews reported on January 14th that, according to DL News, law firm Burwick Law has recently filed another lawsuit against the Pump.fun platform and Solana-related parties, accusing them of operating a "manipulated, unlicensed gambling operation." The lawsuit alleges that while Pump.fun is packaged as a game of chance, it is in reality a "manipulated casino," with its leaders "secretly pre-determining winners and losers and extracting huge profits from retail participants." The lawsuit cites information allegedly obtained from private messages with Pump.fun's founders, in which co-founder Alon Cohen admits that most investors "lose money" when investing on the platform and states that the platform "greatly democratized trading in low-market-cap tokens, exposing everyone to the extremely low odds associated with gambling on such low-market-cap assets." The lawsuit also cites allegations from anonymous KOLs that they or their peers were paid to promote Meme Coin without disclosure and received advance information about the token to buy it before the promotion began.

However, the lawsuit failed to provide conclusive evidence that Pump.fun coordinated these alleged pump-and-dump schemes, nor did it prove that its executives directly profited from them. The core argument of the lawsuit lies in its claim that the platform failed to implement fair safeguards, such as a random entry window to mitigate the advantage of bots and insiders having priority in building positions. Regarding Solana's allegations, the lawsuit claims that its network speed, priority fee system, and the congestion update in March 2024 enabled the scaling of Meme coin trading, but this connection is considered weak by outsiders.

From Speculation to Everyday Spending

The post From Speculation to Everyday Spending appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Cryptocurrency is evolving beyond its speculative origins and becoming what it was initially designed to be: a medium of exchange. From buying coffee to booking international travel, cryptocurrency is quietly but significantly moving into everyday transactions. This shift is among the most consequential developments in global finance today. As of early 2025, more than 560 million people worldwide hold cryptocurrency. Growth is accelerating in Latin America, Africa, and Southeast Asia, where traditional financial infrastructure often leaves gaps that crypto helps fill. This broader adoption reflects a transition from passive ownership to active use, signaling the asset class’s growing utility. Users are increasingly turning to digital currencies not only for convenience, but also for autonomy and access. Crypto payments are now catering to real-world needs, from remittances to retail purchases, and the ecosystem is beginning to reflect this shift. Changing expectations, real use In the United States alone, nearly 55 million adults own crypto, and over a third have already used it to make purchases. The focus has moved from speculation to utility. These users want crypto to work like any mainstream payment method: fast, low-cost, and dependable. However, friction, whether in the form of fees, delays, or a lack of support, can discourage its use. As adoption grows, expectations rise. Users now demand platforms with real-time tracking, integrated wallets, customer support, and secure, low-latency performance. Sponsored Sponsored Meeting these expectations requires infrastructure that mirrors traditional finance in terms of speed, security, and reliability, while still delivering the benefits of decentralization and flexibility. Business response to a real shift As user behavior evolves, businesses are adapting. The demand for cryptocurrency payment options is increasing across e-commerce, online services, and digital platforms. However, enabling crypto transactions requires more than simply flipping a switch. It requires a strategic approach to integration, compliance, and…
