This recovery followed a steep drop in late July and early August, when weekly revenue fell to $1.72 million – the platform’s weakest level since March 2024.
The slump aligned with a broader memecoin market decline, as sector capitalization plunged 20% to $62.11 billion on August 3.
By August 11, the market recovered to nearly $75 billion before slipping back to $70 billion. Currently, memecoins hold a market cap of about $66 billion.
Pump.fun also regained dominance in the Solana memecoin launchpad sector, capturing a 73.6% market share with $4.68 billion in trading volume, 1.37 million traders, and 162,000 token mints over seven days.
Despite strong growth, Pump.fun faces legal challenges, including a class-action lawsuit alleging deceptive practices and investor losses of $5.5 billion.
Lifetime revenue has now reached $800 million.
