Pump.fun integrates TON network for memecoin trading

Pump.fun has expanded its cross-chain capabilities by adding support for The Open Network (TON) to its mobile application. Announced on October 27, the integration allows users to purchase and trade TON-based tokens directly using their in-app USDC balance.

This update eliminates the need for manual bridging or switching between different wallets. For TON transactions, the platform handles the cross-chain route automatically, meaning users do not need to hold specific native tokens to cover transaction fees. This move is part of Pump.fun’s broader strategy to transition from a Solana-focused platform into a multi-chain trading interface, following similar integrations with Monad and X Layer.

The integration provides a more direct route for traders to access memecoins within the Telegram ecosystem. While the expansion increases the platform's reach, the long-term impact remains dependent on trading activity, liquidity, and how the experience compares to existing native TON trading platforms.
