Telegram Pump-and-Dump Network Earned 800 Thousand Dollars

PumpCell Network's Methods

A new forensic review by Solidus Labs has revealed that a group called PumpCell has managed to elevate micro-scale tokens to seven-figure values within minutes by organizing synchronized token launches, bot acquisitions, and meme-focused promotional campaigns.

$800,000 Profit

The group is estimated to have made around $800,000 in profits in October 2025. During this process, they aimed to evade compliance checks by transferring funds through centralized exchanges and an over-the-counter cash broker.

Monitoring Challenges and Risks

Solidus notes that features such as automated market maker (AMM) focused markets, bot executions, and cross-chain anonymity make it difficult to detect such frauds. Additionally, it emphasizes that the PumpCell model reflects a broader and more complex pattern of the misuse of digital assets.
