Pump.fun revenue hit $13.48M in mid-August, its strongest week of 2025, as Solana memecoins rebounded and the platform regained dominance.

August 20, 2025 – Pump.fun revenue recorded its strongest week this year, signaling renewed momentum in Solana’s memecoin sector after a sharp decline earlier this month.
According to DefiLlama data, Pump.fun revenue totaled $13.48 million between August 11 and 17. This marks its strongest week of 2025, fueled by a wider recovery in memecoins. The rebound followed a difficult start to the month, when Pump.fun revenue fell to just $1.72 million, its lowest weekly performance since March 2024.
The revenue dip reflected broader market weakness. CoinMarketCap reported that memecoin valuations dropped from $77.73 billion on July 28 to $62.11 billion by August 3, erasing nearly $16 billion in one week.
Jupiter data shows Pump.fun revenue dominance at 73.6% of Solana launchpads last week, supported by $4.68 billion in trading volume. The platform also saw 1.37 million traders and 162,000 new token mints.
By contrast, rival LetsBonk recorded $974 million in trading volume with just 6,000 token mints, giving it a 15.3% market share. Pump.fun’s regained lead demonstrates its resilience after being temporarily overtaken in July.
Despite strong Pump.fun revenue, legal risks remain. A class-action lawsuit filed in January and amended in July accuses the platform of operating as an “unlicensed casino.” It alleges that Pump.fun’s design resembles a “rigged slot machine,” contributing to investor losses exceeding $5.5 billion.
Even so, Pump.fun revenue continues to rise. Dune Analytics data shows lifetime revenue has surpassed $800 million. Solana Labs co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko even suggested the platform could evolve into a global streaming hub.
