A Solidus Labs investigation uncovered a covert Telegram group called “PumpCell” that has been coordinating multi-chain pump-and-dump schemes on newly launched tokens across Solana and BNB Chain. Using sniper bots, fabricated hype, and coordinated exits, the group pushed micro-cap tokens to million-dollar valuations within minutes, generating about $800,000 in profits in a single month. Some members cashed out through centralized exchanges and an Eastern European OTC broker. Solidus warns that such schemes highlight the ease of market manipulation in permissionless onchain environments and calls for more advanced real-time surveillance tools.
