EmberCN, an on-chain analyst, revealed today that a wallet linked with Pump.fun has deposited around $148 million in stablecoins to Kraken. This transaction sees a continuing pattern of huge exchange-bound transfers seen in the last two months.

The data also reveals that the recent deposit included USDC and USDT shifted to Kraken in a short time span. It is noteworthy that the funds were initiated from wallets associated with the Pump.fun’s token sale occurred in mid-2025.

After this transfer, the total amount sent to Kraken since Nov. 15 is around $753 million in stablecoins. All the funds find their origin in proceeds from the PUMP initial coin offering, based on publicly visible wallet activity.

The same movements have been witnessed at regular intervals since late 2025, mostly consisting of nine-figure sums. Sometimes, stablecoins deposited to Kraken were then observed titting toward Circle-associated addresses, indicating probable redemptions or internal treasury operations.

No Public Comments Have Been Made

Both Pump.fun and Kraken have chosen not to comment publicly on the matter of the recent transfer. The pace and consistency of these deposits have captivated the attention of crypto markets, mainly Pump.fun’s crucial role in the memecoin economy of Solana.

Before this, Pump.fun has opposed claims that these transfers show cash-outs or liquidation activity. Team members have reported that past movements are routine treasury management, adding diversification, operational spending and preparation for reinvestment.

Still, the timing has ignited debate once again. The most recent transfer has come at a time of increased scrutiny of the platform, including complaints regarding its last creator fee structure and reduced revenue growth as contrasted to periods of peak memecoin trading.

The co-founder of the firm, Alon Cohen, accepted the flaws in the last fee model earlier this month. He gave out a new strategy that would move incentives away from volume-influenced token launches and toward traders and liquidity.
