- Pump.fun now rewards creators in SOL, aiming to attract more liquidity in DeFi.
- PumpSwap records $80 million in daily volume just two months post-launch, challenging Raydium’s dominance.
- Pump.fun’s 2025 transaction fees hit $296 million, surpassing Ethereum’s $249 million.
Pump.fun’s shaking things up. Now, users can snag rewards in SOL just by connecting the same wallet they used to mint their tokens. They can cash out whenever they want – no waiting around. Sounds pretty straightforward, right? But there’s more to it.
This move positions PumpSwap as a creator-friendly hub in DeFi, a space where heavyweights like Raydium already dominate. For context, Raydium’s pulling in over $517 million in daily trading volume, according to CoinGecko. PumpSwap? It hit $80 million in daily volume just two months after launching. Not too shabby for a newbie.
Revenue-Sharing Strategy: PumpSwap’s Power Play
The whole revenue-sharing model isn’t exactly new in DeFi – tons of platforms do it. But Pump.fun seems to be taking a more aggressive stance, trying to claw its way to the top in Solana’s jam-packed ecosystem. It’s gunning for more liquidity, more users, and, ideally, more market share.
The pitch? Boosting creator loyalty through revenue splits. For token creators, that’s a pretty sweet deal – earn passive income off trading fees without doing much. And as more creators hop on board, other platforms might feel the heat to offer similar incentives.
Pump.fun’s Wild 2025 Ride
Let’s talk numbers. In 2025, Pump.fun has raked in $296 million in transaction fees – that’s more than Ethereum’s $249 million for the same stretch. Not bad, right? And earlier this year, the platform hit a jaw-dropping $14 million in a single day before things cooled off in March.
Now, things are heating up again. In May, daily revenues swung between $1 million and $2 million, showing signs of a strong rebound.
And then there’s PumpSwap, the platform’s new kid on the block. It lets projects launch tokens without the hassle of migrating to external DEXs like Raydium. Tokens get listed right after their bonding curve sale wraps up – no middlemen, no delays.
In a sector as volatile as Solana’s meme coin market, PumpSwap’s aggressive creator incentives could set off a fresh wave of competition. Stay tuned.
