Baton Corporation, the development company behind Pump.fun, is hiring for three new business development roles covering perpetual futures, prediction markets and trading terminal products, according to a post from Pump.fun co-founder alon on X, as reported by PANews.
Alon said the hiring push is intended to grow the trader base inside the Pump.fun app by pulling in active participants from the markets the app touches, including meme coins, perpetual futures and prediction markets, according to PANews. The job postings ask for candidates with more than two years of experience in business development at crypto platforms, according to PANews and Odaily.
PANews and Odaily both cited DEGEN NEWS in noting that this marks the first occasion alon has spoken publicly about prediction markets in connection with Pump.fun. Phemex separately reported the same three openings and experience requirement.
No specific prediction-market product, feature, launch date or partner has been disclosed in any of the reports. The coverage describes open hiring listings and alon's stated rationale for them, not a confirmed product rollout, and none of the outlets detailed compensation or a hiring timeline for the roles.
