DescriptionPump.fun's parent company Baton Corporation posted a Chief Legal Officer job listing on June 23–24, 2026, offering $1–$5M annual salary amid intense public scrutiny. The role covers US digital asset regulation (SEC, CFTC, FinCEN, OFAC), UK FCA, EU MiCA, and APAC compliance, and requires managing active litigation including a SDNY class-action alleging securities fraud and RICO violations.

- This event resolves YES if Pump.fun or Baton Corporation publicly confirms a named CLO appointment (via official X post, press release, or announcement update) on or before July 21, 2026 UTC. Resolves NO if no confirmed named hire is publicly announced by that deadline.

- 2. Exclusion: Acting, interim, or unnamed appointments do NOT count. Job listing remaining open does NOT count as YES.
- 3. Source Hierarchy: Official X (@Pumpfun) priority. The Block secondary. CoinDesk tertiary.
- 4. Timing: Must be confirmed before July 21, 2026 UTC. Post-deadline resolves NO.
- 5. Cancellation Rule: Hire announcement required; 'search ongoing' statements do NOT count. Announcement without start date still counts if named hire is confirmed publicly.
