JUST IN: X suspends crypto meme coin platform Pump․fun

Some crypto apps like Pumpfun, GMGN, Bloom, and Uxento use Twitter trackers and snipers (tools that track tweets or wallets fast). But instead of getting that data directly from Twitter in a legal way, rumour is they were likely using “black market” or shared APIs — unofficial or unauthorized methods of accessing Twitter data.

X has started cracking down hard on this. It began when another tool, WuupX, got a cease and desist letter for breaking Twitter’s terms of service. Now, others using similar setups are getting suspended too.
