In a 5 February 2025 statement from Burwick Law said that the two firms demand the immediate removal of meme coins that infringe upon their intellectual property. This includes the multiple Burwick Law and Wolf Popper meme coins that use company names and logos.

Law Firms Believe Meme Coins Launched In Their Names Are Attempt To Intimidate
The US-based law firm claimed that Pump.fun launched such tokens in conjunction with third-party efforts to intimidate clients of the two firms and undermine their ongoing legal action against the platform.
On 30 January 2025, Burwick and Wolf Popper filed a proposed class-action lawsuit against pump.fun while representing meme coin investor Diego Aguilar. Aguilar claims to have suffered losses on the platform.
The lawsuit claims pump.fun marketed tokens it called ‘ponzi schemes’ as significantly profitable, deliberately targeting young and low net-worth investors.
“Burwick Law confirmed that Pump.fun has the technical capability to remove these tokens and has chosen not to act, despite the clear financial and legal risks posed to the public,” the statement said.
The statement went on to say, “These acts represent the use of blockchain technologies as a tool for disrupting justice and due process. Legal remedies for any such misconduct will be pursued to the fullest extent of the law.”
There are dozens of meme coins mimicking and mocking Burwick and Wolf Popper still trading on Solana, after being launched on pump.fun.

Wolf Popper and Burwick have also been accused of launching the DOGSHIT2 meme coin. The law firm has demanded the removal of the token, which it claims was pushed by promoters in a “high-risk pump-and-dump” scheme.
Members of crypto twitter have been vocal in their suspicions that Burwick and Wolf Popper are behind the DOGSHIT2 token. There are claims that a blockchain address shown in the firms’ legal documents matched the address associated with the memecoin.
Quashing those allegations, Burwick Law wrote, “Our firms have no affiliation, endorsement, or ownership interest in the Dogshit2 token or any related assets, simply put, our firms have not launched any memecoins onchain.”
Due to the lore surrounding its origins, coupled with yesterdays cease-and-desist order, DOGSHIT2 spiked from $2m in market cap to nearly $16m. It has since cooled off and is currently trading at around $8m with over $22 million in 24-hour trading volume.
BONUS: First Ever Solana Layer-2 Solaxy (SOLX) Nears $20 Million In Presale Funding
Solana’s first-ever Layer-2 chain, Solaxy (SOLX), has lofty goals to enhance the L1 blockchain’s reputation as the go-to platform for meme coin trading. Solaxy builds on Solana’s strengths by enhancing speed, scalability and reducing both congestion and transaction failures.
With its superior speed and transaction efficiency, Solaxy is the go-to for meme coin trading, especially as meme coins are set for further explosive gains in 2025.
SOLX is the native token powering Solaxy, which is why investors are pouring funds into the presale due to fear of missing out on what looks set to be the blue-chip Solana-beta play this year.
There are strong rumours of a tier-1 exchange listing for SOLX to go alongside its upcoming public launch. A CEX listing at launch will only boost availability and volume for Solaxy and can be all the difference between returning 10x or 100x.
