What to know:

  • PumpSwap just decided to flex a record trading volume of $1.28 billion in 24 hours. Apparently, Solana’s memecoins are feeling themselves again.
  • But hold your horses! Despite the jaw-dropping trading spree, PumpSwap’s fee generation is more “meh” than magnificent, with just $2.98 million raked in on Jan. 5. I mean, come on guys!
  • This memecoin resurgence is like a surprise party no one planned for. Sure, there’s excitement in Solana’s market, but will it last, or are we just here for the cake?

PumpSwap, the trading MVP of the Pump ecosystem, is suddenly putting up numbers that could make a stockbroker weep with joy as Solana’s memecoin scene has a hot flash again.

This spike? Oh, it’s all part of the grand “memecoin comeback” saga that’s been brewing since the new year, especially in the magical land of Solana. Traders are hopping into the speedy rollercoaster of meme stocks while bitcoin maintains its high-flying status. 🎢💵

According to DeFiLlama (the cool kid on the block), Pump DEX is racking up $1.28 billion in volume over just 24 hours-like, hello, can I get a round of applause? That pushes their 7-day volume to a staggering $6.15 billion and 30-day volume to $19.69 billion. Cumulative volume? Nearly $176.8 billion. It’s like watching retail flows return faster than my ex after payday!

A little peek from Jan. 5 shows how PumpSwap has become the Beyoncé of its ecosystem: about $1.21 billion of daily volume came from PumpSwap, leaving only $63.7 million for pump.fun’s older, less cool cousin.

PumpSwap is basically where all the hip tokens hang out on Solana. Once they “graduate” from Pump.fun-like a really intense college but for memecoins-they can mingle freely. And let’s be real, Pump.fun is like an express lane for any wannabe token creator. Just whip one up in minutes. Easy peasy! 🎉

So, what’s trending? Japan-focused and anime-inspired tokens seem to be the hot gossip in the Asian afternoon hours. But who knows? Today’s flavor could be gone by dinner! 🍣🍜

But, plot twist! While the trading numbers are soaring, the fee generation isn’t exactly popping off. On Jan. 5, fees were sitting at about $2.98 million. That’s around $1.21 million as protocol revenue and approximately $881,700 going to holders. Can we get a little more pizzazz, please? 🙄

Let’s face it; most memecoin trading is like that fling you had in college: quick, fun, and not much substance. 💔

And with a bunch of competitors in the Solana arena, the fight for those sweet, sweet fees is real. Everyone wants to be the go-to swap spot, squeezing prices tighter than my jeans after the holidays.

PumpSwap’s rise is a clear sign that the market’s fun side is back in town. 🎉 When memes take the wheel, they tend to drag the entire Solana scene along for the ride.

Now, whether this volume sticks around and magically transforms into actual revenue remains to be seen. Will traders keep this party going, or is it just a one-hit wonder? Only time-and maybe a crystal ball-will tell! đź”®
