At the time of writing, perpetuals marketplace Hyperliquid shows $PUMP trading at around $0.0064, which is above the $0.004 public sale price.<\/p>\n<p>This indicates that affected users may receive tokens at a premium compared to the original offering.<\/p>\n<p>Kraken\u2019s global head of consumer business said on X that impacted users will receive an email soon. \u201cWe\u2019re working on a list,\u201d the staffer noted, though some users claimed they were never able to access the sale at all.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">We\u2019re working on a list and will email clients soon.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Mark Greenberg (@marklg) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/marklg\/status\/1944118506121048404?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">July 12, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2>Other Exchanges Face Similar Issues<\/h2>\n<p>Kraken was not the only one facing problems during the $PUMP sale.
