From 2005 to 2009, Schiffman was an institutional relationship manager for marketing and client management at Prisma Capital Partners, where she focused on business development and raising assets across strategies in the alternative investment industry. She was also involved with recruiting on the buyside, helping to expand global footprints. Schiffman began her career on the buyside with Sanford C. Bernstein, managing the firm’s esteemed research department.
“I’m excited to join such a dedicated and passionate group at Jensen Partners, whose unique vision and platform has solidified its place as the industry’s leading data-driven talent solutions resource,” said Schiffman. “Jensen Partners’ mission-driven and highly impactful integrated recruitment strategy has quickly become the gold standard in the alternative asset management space, and I look forward to contributing to the important work that Sasha and her team are doing.”

MEXC DEX+ Forms Strategic Partnership with pump.fun for Next Evolution of DeFi and CeFi Integration
VICTORIA, Seychelles, March 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — MEXC, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange, has announced a strategic partnership with pump.fun, the world’s leading crypto token launchpad where anyone can create their own token for free. This collaboration aims to enhance the trading experience on MEXC’s DEX+ platform and explore further synergies between centralized finance (CeFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi). The first step in this partnership will be the integration with pump.fun’s new DEX, PumpSwap.
MEXC has recently launched its innovative hybrid product, DEX+, offering a seamless, one-stop solution for both on-chain and off-chain trading. This unique platform enables users to trade directly on decentralized exchanges (DEXs) through the MEXC App and website, providing access to a diverse array of on-chain assets. The initial version of DEX+ will support the Solana ecosystem, giving users the ability to trade over 10,000 tokens available on Raydium and pump.fun. Future updates will expand to include additional DEXs and blockchain networks, broadening the platform’s reach and liquidity.
MEXC DEX+ simplifies the complexities of DEX by enabling users to trade various on-chain assets within the Solana ecosystem directly through a familiar CEX interface. This eliminates the need to manually hurdle through multi-step interactions, such as switching wallets or cross-chain transactions.
Through this strategic partnership with pump.fun, MEXC aims to provide a streamlined, accessible experience for the potential onchain assets, further solidifying its commitment to innovative solutions within the crypto space. MEXC DEX+ users gain unique access to trade newly launched tokens on pump.fun at an early stage. DEX+ allows users to participate in trading as soon as a memecoin is issued, even before it is listed on CEX, enabling them to capitalize on market opportunities from the outset. By leveraging pump.fun’s robust capabilities in launching memecoins, this model significantly lowers the entry barrier for users seeking to enter the Web3 trading space.
“MEXC is committed to offering a broad spectrum of accessible assets through our listing strategy while ensuring fast listing speeds and top-tier security for our users. With DEX+, we aim to address key challenges by providing a familiar, CEX-like trading experience while retaining the benefits of accessing on-chain assets. We are thrilled to partner with pump.fun to empower users to discover and support memecoins in this rapidly evolving investment space. This collaboration underscores our dedication to fostering innovation and providing new opportunities for our users in the ever-evolving crypto landscape,” said Tracy Jin, COO of MEXC.
“pump.fun democratized token creation, standardized token contracts, and brought crypto to the people. pump.fun’s partnership with MEXC will give DEX+ users a powerful tool to access the coins they want to trade — long before they’re available on a centralized exchange. pump.fun is building crypto’s largest social network, and bridging communities across crypto through partnerships like this with MEXC is how that foundation is built,” said Alon Cohen, Co-Founder pump.fun.
Looking ahead, MEXC’s DEX+ is positioned to be a transformative force in the evolution and mass adoption of DeFi and DEX ecosystems, with its strategic partnership with pump.fun marking a crucial first step in this journey. As user adoption of decentralized trading accelerates, the seamless integration of centralized and decentralized exchange models becomes essential, and MEXC stands at the forefront of this convergence, systematically expanding our ecosystem partnerships to deliver increasingly sophisticated, secure, and user-centric trading experiences that will define the next generation of crypto trading.
To celebrate the successful launch of DEX+ and its strategic partnership with pump.fun, MEXC is pleased to announce its incentive program: new users completing trades of 100 USDT or more on the DEX+ platform will be eligible to receive a 20 USDT reward.
