Pump.fun to Launch PUMP Token via ICO on July 12
the Solana-based meme coin platform that lets anyone create and trade tokens, is launching its token, PUMP, via an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) on Saturday, July 12. The company said PUMP is the 'official native token' of the protocol and is part of a broader effort to build a decentralized alternative to Facebook, TikTok, and Twitch. The pitch is to create a social platform that rewards attention with money and not just engagement metrics. According to 33% of PUMP's total 1 trillion supply will be sold in the ICO. Of that, 18% has already been allocated via a private sale, and 15% will be made available to the public on launch day. Both tranches were priced identically at $0.004 per token, and all tokens sold during the sale will be fully unlocked from day one. Other allocations include: 24% to ecosystem and community initiatives 20% to the core team 13% to investors 2.6% for liquidity The rest split between a foundation fund, live streaming incentives, and a 2.4% ecosystem fund To participate in the public sale, users must complete KYC via or partner exchanges, including Bybit, Kraken, Bitget, MEXC, KuCoin, and Gate. U.S. users are excluded. said it reached $100 million, $300 million, and $500 million in revenue faster than any company in history, derived mainly from rapid issuances of memecoins on attention-driven topics every day, of which the platform took a cut on each issuance and protocol has been at the center of Solana's meme coin boom since early 2024, known for low-friction token launches and chaotic viral pumps.

Breaking Barriers: Encouraging Women to Join the Crypto Industry
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, July 9, 2025 /CNW/ -- In a world rapidly being shaped by digital transformation, the cryptocurrency and blockchain sectors have emerged as some of the most dynamic frontiers. Yet despite this fast-paced growth, one factor remains strikingly clear: the crypto industry is still largely male-dominated. It's time to change that. Why Women Belong in Crypto Cryptocurrency and blockchain are not just technologies—they're tools for economic empowerment, financial inclusion, and systemic innovation. Women bring unique perspectives, problem-solving approaches, and leadership styles that are crucial to driving ethical, user-focused, and sustainable growth in these spaces. From DeFi (decentralized finance) to NFTs (non-fungible tokens), from Web3 startups to DAOs (decentralized autonomous organizations), there's no shortage of opportunities for women to lead, innovate, and build. Barriers Still Exist Despite the promise, women face real barriers: lack of representation, technical gatekeeping, limited access to funding, and societal biases about financial and technical expertise. According to various industry reports, women make up less than 30% of the crypto workforce, and even fewer are in leadership positions. These challenges are not insurmountable—but overcoming them will require deliberate action. Steps to Encourage Women in Crypto 1. Education and Training Empowerment starts with knowledge. Free or low-cost courses, mentorship programs, and workshops tailored for women can break down the intimidation barrier and make blockchain and crypto more accessible. 2. Visible Role Models When women see other women leading in crypto—as founders, developers, investors, and thought leaders—they're more likely to envision themselves in those roles. Initiatives like Bitget's Blockchain4Her, which highlights and supports female leaders in Web3, are paving the way. 3. Community Building Safe, supportive, and inclusive communities where women can ask questions, share experiences, and collaborate are key. Groups like SheFi, Women in Blockchain, and B4H are creating valuable spaces for connection and growth. 4. Funding Women-Led Projects Access to capital is often a major roadblock. Investing in women-led startups and DAOs not only supports gender equity—it also makes good business sense. Diverse teams consistently outperform homogeneous ones. 5. Corporate Responsibility Crypto firms need to commit to inclusive hiring practices, mentorship pipelines, and internal education on unconscious bias. Inclusion can't just be a tagline; it must be a strategy. Inspiring the Next Generation Encouraging young girls to explore coding, fintech, and blockchain from an early age will help close the gender gap in future generations. Schools and youth programs should incorporate digital literacy and crypto fundamentals, ensuring young women see this as their space, too. When I first stepped into the crypto space, I didn't see many people who looked like me—let alone women leading teams or raising capital. As a former founder, I've been told to my face that investors wouldn't back a married woman without children. That kind of bias isn't just unfair—it's holding back the entire industry. At Bitget, we're working to change that through Blockchain4Her and beyond. We need to make sure women are seen, heard, and supported—not just as contributors, but as builders, innovators, and leaders. Because the future of finance can only be truly decentralized when it includes all of us. — Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget Conclusion: The Future Is Inclusive The crypto industry's potential to revolutionize finance and empower individuals is immense—but it will only reach its full potential if it reflects the diversity of the people it aims to serve. By encouraging more women to participate, lead, and innovate, we not only make the industry stronger—we make it fairer, smarter, and more representative. Let's create a Web3 world where everyone, regardless of gender, has the opportunity to build, belong, and thrive.

Crypto exchanges eye Dubai, HK as Singapore clampdown prompts exodus
Major digital-asset exchanges, including Bitget and Bybit, are considering moves to Dubai and Hong Kong after Singapore introduced stringent new rules on overseas crypto activity, according to an executive based in the UAE's International Free Zone Authority (IFZA). Last month the Monetary Authority of Singapore ordered any crypto-services provider incorporated in the city-state and serving foreign clients to obtain a Digital-Token Service Provider licence by June 30, 2025 or cease those activities. Non-compliance could incur fines of up to SGD 250,000 (Dhs734,500) and three years' imprisonment, with no grace period or 'small-player' exemption. 'This is effectively a moratorium on fresh licences, hence the migration -- or crypto exodus,' said Vikram R Singh, founder and chief executive of blockchain consultancy Antier, which recently expanded its operations in IFZA Dubai. While Singapore 'tightens the screws', Mr Singh noted that the UAE has spent three years building a dedicated rule-book for digital assets. Consultancy Sumsub estimates the country attracted $30 billion in crypto investment during 2024, a regional record. Individual investors in the UAE pay no income or capital-gains tax on crypto profits, and companies in free zones can often reduce the new 9% federal corporate tax to near zero if most business is conducted outside the Emirates. Regulation is flexible too. Federal bodies supervise mainland activity, but free-zone regulators in Dubai, the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) and Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) run their own crypto frameworks, allowing founders to 'pick the regulator that fits the business model', Mr Singh added. Dubai's credentials were underscored in April when TOKEN2049 drew about 15,000 delegates from 4,000 companies -- the world's largest crypto gathering. Local capital is also flowing: Emirates NBD's Liv digital bank and Abu Dhabi's MGX fund are backing plans for a 30-storey 'Crypto Tower' in the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre. The Dubai Financial Services Authority has recently issued guidance on tokenised securities and real-world assets, paving the way for wider institutional adoption. Antier says it is already working with UAE partners to build tokenised-asset marketplaces aligned with the emirate's digital-asset strategy. 'Dubai's proactive stance perfectly matches our real-world-asset tokenisation and digital-asset trading infrastructure,' Mr Singh said. 'As tokenisation reshapes global finance, we intend to provide the bridge between traditional markets and Web3.' With Singapore's stricter rules now in force, observers expect licence-seeking crypto firms to relocate to Dubai, reinforcing the emirate's ambition to become a leading global hub for digital assets.
