Solana-based SOL $235.4 24h volatility: 0.5% Market cap: $127.90 B Vol. 24h: $7.24 B meme coin launchpad Pump.fun is enjoying 8% daily gain on September 16 even as the broader crypto market traded sideways.
This comes as the platform’s daily revenue outpaced popular perpetuals trading platform Hyperliquid.
According to DeFiLlama data, Pump.fun generated $3.38 million in protocol revenue over the past 24 hours, This marks Pump.fun’s highest single-day revenue since February 13.
On the other hand, Hyperliquid HYPE $52.57 24h volatility: 1.8% Market cap: $14.25 B Vol. 24h: $466.01 M recorded $3.06 million in revenue. While Hyperliquid maintains an edge on a weekly and monthly basis, Pump.fun’s sharp one-day spike suggests its growing demand.
Pump.fun collects revenue through fees on new meme coin creations, initial liquidity setups, and subsequent trading volume.
After peaking above $6.7 million in January, the platform saw a major revenue plunge to just $206,000 on August 1.
A steady rebound started later that month, fueled in part by Pump.fun’s aggressive buyback policy: 100% of all revenue is used to repurchase PUMP tokens daily.
Since July, the platform has spent nearly $98 million on these buybacks, removing about 6.7% of the circulating supply.
Pump.fun now ranks third on DeFiLlama’s daily revenue board, only behind stablecoin issuers Tether and Circle.
