Telegram Pump-and-Dump Network Made 800 Thousand Dollars Profit

PumpCell Network's Methods

A new forensic examination reveals that Solidus Labs found the group called PumpCell to be conducting synchronized token launches, attack bot acquisitions, and meme-focused promotional campaigns, raising micro-scale tokens to seven-figure values within minutes.

$800,000 Profit

The group is estimated to have made approximately $800,000 in profit in October 2025. During this process, they aimed to avoid compliance checks by transferring funds through a centralized exchange and an over-the-counter cash broker.

Monitoring Challenges and Risks

Solidus states that features such as automated market maker (AMM)-focused markets, bot executions, and cross-chain anonymity complicate the detection of such frauds. Furthermore, they emphasize that the PumpCell model reflects a broader and more complex pattern of misuse of digital assets.
