- Pump.fun’s PUMP token hit an all-time high before cooling slightly.
- Livestreaming relaunch boosted engagement, giving it 1% of Twitch’s market and 10% of Kick’s.
- Creators earned a record $20M in one week, with top streamers making six figures daily.
Solana’s memecoin hub Pump.fun is back in the spotlight, and this time it’s because of its explosive livestreaming revival. The platform’s native PUMP token recently hit an all-time high of $0.0086 before settling just below $0.008, marking a sharp turnaround for a project that looked like it was losing steam after its July launch.
Streaming Relaunch Ignites Growth
The relaunch of Pump.fun’s livestreaming feature has been the real game-changer. Previously paused after criticism over unsafe broadcasts, the feature is now fueling massive engagement and revenue. Co-founder Alon Cohen revealed the platform has already leapfrogged Rumble in average concurrent streams, captured around 1% of Twitch’s market, and seized 10% of Kick’s share. He claims Pump.fun offers creators “instant fees, instant audiences, and free clipping across socials,” making it a far more lucrative option than traditional streaming platforms.
Record Earnings for Creators
That promise is paying off in hard numbers. According to Dune Analytics, creators on Pump.fun earned a record $20 million in the past week alone — the highest ever weekly payout for the platform. Top streamers pulled in between $24,100 and $123,000 in just the past 24 hours, showing the kind of income that’s starting to lure mainstream talent beyond crypto-native circles.
What’s Next for Pump.fun?
While critics argue the model may not be sustainable, Cohen remains unfazed, brushing aside skepticism with a bold prediction that Pump.fun will continue to disrupt both memecoins and streaming. By marrying crypto-native incentives with mainstream creator tools, Pump.fun may be carving out a new niche where memecoin speculation and livestream culture collide.
