Pump.fun has launched a new feature that allows users to pay “anyone” to do 
“anything”, which has triggered a wave of concern across the crypto community, 
with critics warning it could revive the same dangerous behavior that fueled 
the platform’s 2024 livestream scandal. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price In

Launches Bounty Feature For ‘ANY’ Task On Thursday, Solana’s memecoin 
launchpad, Pump.fun, introduced a new feature that allows users to create and 
complete bounties “for ANY task and leverage the power of humans &amp; money 
across the globe.” Under the premise of “Pay ANYONE to do ANYTHING,” Pump.fun 
GO is set to combine humans and money, which they deemed “the most powerful 
tools on Earth” in the X announcement. “We’re combining both of them with GO: 
an all encompassing bounty platform where ANYONE can create or complete 
bounties for ANY task for UNLIMITED rewards,” the platform stated. According 
to the post, users must complete a bounty’s deliverables and submit proof 
within the allotted time. Pump.fun will review all submissions and hold funds 
in escrow until a winner is selected or the bounty expires. Just hours after 
the announcement, the platform saw hundreds of bounties and submissions. For 
instance, one user offered a bounty of approximately $50,000 for someone to 
skydive into a World Cup match dressed as a MEMECOIN mascot. Nonetheless, it 
is no longer available, with the site stating that it may have “been closed, 
removed by a moderator, or never published.” Another listing offered 325 SOL, 
roughly $23,186, for “the first person to conduct and film a real, on camera 
interview with either a family member of the individual responsible for Henry 
Nowak&#8217;s death, or the main police officer involved in the incident.” The 
bounty, which already has five submissions, noted that “The more viral the 
interview the better!” Other four-figure bounties also include hosting a “best 
butt contest IRL,” quitting your job on camera, getting a memecoin’s name 
tattooed on the forehead or other body parts, and setting a car on fire 
dressed as a memecoin’s mascot. IRL Black Mirror Episode? While some users 
expressed excitement about the latest feature, many criticized Pump.fun, 
raising concerns that it could be abused the same way the Livestream feature 
was when it first launched. In 2024, several users livestreamed harmful and 
violent content using the platform, creating memecoins with controversial 
prompts to become viral and pump their tokens. At the time, creators 
threatened to harm themselves, people nearby, or animals if their memecoins 
didn’t reach a specific market capitalization. One user threatened to shoot a 
goldfish, while another user livestreamed himself shooting out his window 
whenever his memecoin went up. Following heavy backlash, Pump.fun shut down 
the feature and eventually relaunched in 2025 with new moderation. Now, X 
users have called the bounty feature a “Black Mirror episode dropping in real 
time,” while others have compared it to the 2016 movie Nerve. “Pump fun GO 
sounds fun until people realize money can incentivize the worst parts of human 
behavior,” one community member stated, noting that bounty platforms should 
not become a “marketplace for harassment, violence, stalking, humiliation, or 
dangerous acts.” Related Reading: Zcash Fixes Critical Orchard Vulnerability 
As ZEC Holds $600 Support “Nobody wants to wake up and see people 
livestreaming harm just because a reward pool exists. Innovation without 
guardrails becomes a liability. Regulation and active monitoring are not 
optional here,” he concluded. At the time of writing, there are 230 bounties 
live on Pump.fun GO, with 828 submissions and an unclaimed pool of $111,000.

The Bitcoin price recovery back in May 2026 triggered a renewed wave of 
bullish optimism. But despite the rising prices, there are some who did not 
give in to the bullish wave, picking a more conservative stance on the 
cryptocurrency. With the new month, those who refused to flip bullish look to 
have come out on top as the Bitcoin price has reversed. However, some analysts 
are predicting that this might only be the start of the decline. Bitcoin Price 
Could Be Getting Ready To Fall To New Cycle Lows According to crypto analyst 
Xanrox, the Bitcoin price crash was expected, given that the cryptocurrency 
has entered one of the most brutal bear markets in recent history. One very 
bearish development is the fact that the Bitcoin price has now fallen below 
two major channels. Related Reading: The Last Time Ethereum Did This Against 
Bitcoin, It Exploded Above $4,000 These channels include a descending channel, 
which was broken with the fall below $71,000. Then, the other broken channel 
is an ascending channel, broken at almost the same time as the descending 
channel. The result of these two channels being broken, the analyst explains, 
is a double breakdown. The thing about double breakdowns is that they are 
extremely bearish and often suggest that the crash is just starting. With the 
Bitcoin crash already in motion, the crypto analyst expects that the price 
will continue to go lower. Despite there being significant support around the 
$60,000 level, which has served as the psychological support this cycle, the 
analyst does not believe this level will hold. Instead, they suggest holding 
off buying as the price is expected to drop to $48,000, with a strong 
possibility of a crash to the $40,000-$30,000 levels. What Investors Should 
Watch Out For Presently, there is a major outflow happening in the crypto 
market, and Bitcoin, being the leading cryptocurrency, has taken the highest 
hit. The bear market has also pushed a significant number of users out as they 
move toward cash in a market that seems to offer nothing but losses. Related

suggests that the banks are now controlling the Bitcoin price. According to 
the post, the banks could push the price down 20% in a single day once they 
start selling on futures. This would put major stress on investors as retail 
traders are liquidated en masse. In this case, losses were expected to be 
amplified as the market made its final downward move. Nevertheless, there is 
the possibility that bulls will put up a major fight at $60,000, since it is 
the cycle’s swing low. Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com
