Solana's Meme Coin Launchpad, Pump.fun, Reclaims Leading Position, Boosting Token Prices
Pump.fun Regains Dominance in Solana Meme Coin Market
In a dramatic turn of events, Pump.fun has reclaimed its position as the leading meme coin platform on Solana, surpassing its closest rival, LetsBonk. As of August 2025, Pump.fun boasts an impressive $800 million in lifetime revenue and commands around 91% of daily token listings on the Solana blockchain.
The resurgence of Pump.fun began in early August, with the platform generating approximately $1.35 million in daily revenue, far exceeding LetsBonk's $250,000. Pump.fun also boasts over 38,000 active users compared to LetsBonk's 633. The in-house decentralised exchange (DEX), PumpSwap, and high liquidity remain significant competitive advantages for Pump.fun.
LetsBonk, which had taken the lead in July with peaks such as 74% of new Solana token launches and nearly $1 million in daily fees, then suffered a significant revenue collapse, falling to under $30,000 daily. However, the platform maintains some community support through creator incentives and buyback schemes.
In the ongoing competition, Pump.fun shows stronger token graduation rates and dominates user engagement metrics. Recent data shows Pump.fun launching nearly 25,000 tokens daily versus LetsBonk's few thousands, with better volume and active trader counts.
Meanwhile, another platform, Bags, has displaced LetsBonk as the second most popular meme coin launchpad on Solana.
A notable development is the introduction of the Glass Full Foundation by Pump.fun last week. The foundation aims to support popular meme coins and their communities by injecting significant liquidity into tokens within Pump.fun's ecosystem.
Elsewhere, Zora's token price surged by nearly 40% to $0.135 on Monday. Zora uses its token to incentivize and reward artists and musicians for saying their work on the platform.
Despite the strong comeback by Pump.fun, it's worth noting that the platform's token has fallen 46% from its all-time high. However, the momentum has swung sharply in Pump.fun's favor, according to data scientist Adam Tehc.
Investors have also flocked to another token tied to a platform that encourages meme coin creation, Zora. BONK, one of the most popular meme coins on Solana, saw its price fall 3.2% on Monday, but it has still increased 10% over the past month.
The intense meme coin battle on Solana remains dynamic, but as of now, Pump.fun is the clear leader in revenue, volume, active users, and market share, thanks in part to strategic buybacks and its swap fee model. LetsBonk's earlier rise and continued efforts to incentivize creators mean the rivalry is still a dynamic one, but Pump.fun is the current dominant player.
