September 16, 2025 — Solana-based memecoin launchpad Pump.fun recorded over $1 billion in daily trading volume on Monday, marking a milestone for the rapidly growing platform as the memecoin sector extended its September rally.
According to decentralized exchange (DEX) Jupiter, Pump.fun processed $942 million in transactions on Sunday before surging past $1.02 billion on Monday.
This surge coincided with memecoins reaching an $83 billion market cap, holding above $80 billion into the new week, according to CoinMarketCap. The figure neared the sector’s peak of $85 billion in late July.
Data from DefiLlama showed Pump.fun’s total value locked (TVL) reached $334 million on Sunday, setting a new high.
The protocol also ranked third in DeFi daily revenue for two consecutive days, surpassing Hyperliquid and trailing only stablecoin giants Tether and Circle.
Pump.fun highlighted the growing adoption of its livestreaming product, reporting $4 million in creator rewards distributed on Monday, most of which went to first-time creators.
Co-founder Alon claimed that Pump.fun’s livestreaming had surpassed Rumble’s concurrent livestreams. He also said the platform had captured 1% of Twitch’s share and 10% of Kick’s share. These claims remain unverified by third-party platforms.
The Pump.fun surge aligned with broader memecoin market gains. Dogecoin rose despite delays in its planned US-based ETF, while smaller tokens like Memecore, Moo Deng, and DORA posted double-digit weekly gains.
