According to @CoinMarketCap, Pump.fun will overhaul its creator fee system after concluding the current model may have skewed incentives toward low-risk token creation instead of high-risk trading, as stated by co-founder Alon Cohen (source: CoinMarketCap on X, Jan 12, 2026). For traders, this flags an upcoming change in fee mechanics intended to correct the incentive misalignment identified by the team (source: CoinMarketCap on X, Jan 12, 2026). The announcement attributes the rationale to findings on how the fee model influenced risk-taking behavior around new token launches (source: CoinMarketCap on X, Jan 12, 2026).
