Employees had signed a token agreement in June 2025, with a quarter of the allocation set to unlock a year later. Co-founder Noah Tweedale stated in an internal meeting recording that the reason for the layoffs was the company's "rapid expansion."Former employees reported a second round of layoffs in mid-July, with the company having laid off over 40 people in the past two months. One employee claimed they were laid off the day before the token unlock, but Sandmark could not independently verify these claims.Pump.fun operates in the UK under the name Baton Corporation Ltd, although it has blocked UK users since December 2024 (following a warning from the UK FCA that it may be providing financial services without a license) and is still on the regulatory warning list.

According to CoinDesk, Bitcoin prices are stuck in a narrow range, with volatility dropping to a six-month low and trading volume shrinking. The average daily trading volume this month has fallen to $2.2 billion, the lowest since November 2023. Previously, K33 research director Vetle Lunde pointed out that the average daily trading volume in January had dropped to $5.1 billion.The Bollinger Bands have narrowed to their tightest level since January, with the Bollinger Band width indicator falling to 5.66 points. Analysts note that volatility is cyclical—prolonged price calm often signals a sharp movement in one direction, the direction is uncertain, but the calm itself is often temporary. The longer the calm lasts, the greater the potential force of the eventual breakout. In January of this year, Bitcoin was in a similar narrow range, and in the following weeks, volatility rose, with prices first climbing to nearly $98,000 and then dropping to around $60,000, followed by an increase in trading volume.

CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost stated that since December of last year, the supply of Bitcoin held for over one year has continued to increase, with the recent monthly average reaching +217,000 coins, indicating that many holders who bought at higher prices are still holding on.However, he pointed out that while this builds a solid foundation for the market, it also reflects the current weak demand—during the strong bullish rebound, the supply held for over one year has consistently been negative, as short-term holders rushed in during the bull market while long-term holders took profits. The analyst believes that Bitcoin is building the necessary foundation for a healthy bullish recovery, but this will take time, and rebuilding real demand is a long-term process. Patience is needed at present, but the overall trend is positive.
