Pump.fun Just Flexed on Hyperliquid – Who’s Next? 💪💸

by

Well, well, well. Look who’s been hitting the gym and chugging protein shakes in the crypto world. Pump.fun, the Solana-based launchpad that’s basically the Chuck E. Cheese of memecoins, has just outpaced Hyperliquid in daily revenue. 🕺✨ Yes, the same Hyperliquid that thought it was the Beyoncé of decentralized exchanges. Sorry, honey, but Pump.fun just stole your spotlight-and your lunch money.

  • Pump.fun raked in $2.55 million in 24 hours, leaving Hyperliquid’s $2.21 million in the dust. 🤑
  • Apparently, their new Project Ascend is the secret sauce, introducing fees that adjust like a mood ring based on market cap. 🌈
  • The PUMP token is up 10.39% today, while Hyperliquid’s HYPE token is just… meh. 🤷‍♂️

According to DefiLlama (yes, that’s a real thing), Pump.fun surpassed Hyperliquid on September 4th. Imagine Hyperliquid’s face when they saw the numbers-probably the same look I had when I realized I’d been putting my shoes on the wrong feet for a week. 👟👟

Not only did Pump.fun outearn Hyperliquid in the past 24 hours, but its cumulative revenue is now $784.56 million, compared to Hyperliquid’s $650.85 million. That’s right, folks-Pump.fun is basically the Oprah of crypto: “You get a memecoin! And you get a memecoin! Everybody gets a memecoin!” 🎁

This achievement puts Pump.fun in the big leagues, trailing only behind stablecoin giants like Tether and Circle. Remember when Hyperliquid briefly took the crown in February? Cute. Now Pump.fun is back on top, fueled by aggressive buybacks and a new project that’s basically catnip for creators. 🐱

Project Ascend: Because Who Doesn’t Love a Good Glow-Up?

The real MVP here is Project Ascend, unveiled on September 2nd. It’s like Pump.fun went to a spa weekend and came back with a whole new attitude. The key feature? Dynamic Fees V1, which ties creator fees to a token’s market cap. As the market cap grows, fees shrink. It’s like a diet plan for pump-and-dump schemes-finally, something to curb those unhealthy habits. 🍔➡️🥗

The protocol claims this makes launching a token 10x more rewarding, all while keeping costs in check for projects that actually, you know, succeed. It’s like they’re saying, “We’re not just here to party; we’re here to build a legacy.” Or at least a slightly less embarrassing one. 🏗️

And let’s not forget the buybacks-$69.5 million worth, to be exact. That’s a lot of zeroes, folks. It’s like Pump.fun is on a shopping spree, but instead of buying shoes, they’re buying back their own tokens. Smart. 💸

Retail participation is also booming, with 72,082 unique token holders. That’s more people than showed up to my last birthday party, and I had cake. 🍰

Oh, and did I mention Pump.fun is back on top as the #1 memecoin launchpad on Solana? Nearly 28,000 tokens were deployed in the past 24 hours. That’s a lot of digital confetti. 🎉

PUMP vs. HYPE: The Battle of the Acronyms

Meanwhile, PUMP is outperforming HYPE like it’s a high school debate team. PUMP is up 12% in 24 hours and 32% over the past week, while HYPE is just… hype. Up 2.48% daily but down 6.40% weekly. Ouch. Someone get HYPE a participation trophy. 🏆

So, what’s next for Pump.fun? World domination? A reality TV show? Who knows. But one thing’s for sure: they’re not slowing down. With Project Ascend, rising user adoption, and a token that’s on fire, Pump.fun is basically the Taylor Swift of crypto-everybody’s watching, and nobody’s leaving early. 🎤
