DescriptionPump.fun's GO bounty marketplace launched June 4, 2026 with the slogan 'Pay ANYONE to do ANYTHING,' paying out $370K+ for tasks including a $690K suicide-related bounty and a $15K forehead tattoo. NY Governor Kathy Hochul called it a 'dystopian nightmare' on June 5 and the governor's office confirmed active investigation of legislative options. As of June 23, 2026, no formal bill or enforcement action has been filed.
- Outcome 1 — Regulatory Action resolves YES if a bill targeting Pump.fun GO is formally introduced in NY State legislature or US Congress, OR a federal agency (FTC, CFTC, SEC, DOJ) issues a formal enforcement letter/notice/order specifically targeting GO, on or before July 21, 2026 UTC. Governor statements and public pressure alone do NOT count.
- Outcome 2 — Platform Shutdown resolves YES if Pump.fun officially announces suspension or shutdown of GO Bounty for any reason on or before July 21, 2026 UTC. Temporary content moderation or individual bounty removals do NOT count.
- 1. Sources: nysenate.gov / congress.gov for bills; official FTC/CFTC/SEC/DOJ press releases for enforcement; official Pump.fun X/website for shutdown.
- 2. Timing: Must occur before July 21, 2026 UTC. Post-deadline resolves NO.
- 3. Cancellation: Announcement without implementation resolves NO.
