Pump.fun co-founder Alon Cohen said on X that Baton Corporation, the development company behind the platform, is hiring three business development staff for perpetual futures, prediction markets and its trading terminal. The announcement is the first public mention of prediction markets as a strategic focus for Pump.fun. Candidates need at least two years of experience leading business development in crypto or related platforms. New York is preferred, while exceptional remote applicants may be considered. Compensation reportedly ranges from $200,000 to $1 million, with performance-based bonuses potentially added. The hiring follows an earlier 2026 Growth Marketing Lead posting with a stated range of $400,000 to $1 million. Pump.fun launched on January 19, 2024, and became a major venue for creating and trading Solana tokens. The new products would target leveraged directional trading, event-based wagering and faster, more advanced execution, expanding the platform’s reach while placing leveraged products near highly speculative memecoins.
