In October, the team behind Pump.fun tipped plans for a future token release and a newly upgraded trading terminal, dubbed “Pump Advance.” No specific timeline for the future token launch was given by the Pump team.
According to DefiLlama, Pump.fun was the eighth highest-earning blockchain protocol, ranking just below giants such as Circle, USD Coin’s (USDC) issuer, and Uniswap, the decentralized exchange (DEX). In the past 30 days, Pump.fun generated $86 million in fee revenue.

Pump.fun’s performance comes from a memecoin trading frenzy that has largely taken place on Pump.fun’s native Solana, a layer-1 blockchain. Its cumulative fee revenues exceed $225 million, according to DefiLlama.
Fuelled by venture capital funding and political speculation, memecoins now command upward of $122 billion in market capitalization, according to CoinGecko.
Pump.fun promises to let users “launch a coin that is instantly tradeable for under $2 in one click,” and its “For You algorithm uses your past actions on pump dot fun to curate a feed that changes in real-time,” according to the platform’s X account.
Data from Dune Analytics revealed roughly 98% of prospective memecoins on the Pump.fun platform never successfully launch.
Memecoins have drawn mixed reactions from the crypto community. Some influencers, like Murad Mahmudov, argue that memecoins provide a legitimate use case for crypto by removing the speculation premium from altcoins.
Others, such as Jimmy Song, believe that memecoins are a net negative for investors and represent the height of speculative gambling.
