News linked to both this project and an event.
Odaily News – Crypto trader Rune (@RuneCrypto_) posted on X, stating that Pump.fun holds over $2 billion in cash, with a valuation of approximately $4.4 billion, making it one of the most influential platforms in the Meme coin market this cycle. However, since launching the Bonding Curve model, its subsequent product expansion has largely been a response to market demand already validated by other teams.Rune cited examples, noting that after Axiom's rise, Pump acquired Padre and renamed it Terminal; after fomo emerged, Pump added social features to compete for KOLs; and now that products combining Meme coins with equity-related assets have appeared on BNB Chain, Robinhood, Stonks, and Base, Pump has launched a similar MemeStocks feature.Rune stated that this strategy is not entirely ineffective—for instance, Padre's market share rose from roughly 2% to 10% after its acquisition. However, as a leading platform with substantial capital and resources, Pump should focus more on creating unvalidated new products rather than continuously replicating existing models. Otherwise, it may weaken the incentive for smaller teams to pursue product innovation, ultimately slowing the industry's overall pace of development.
Odaily Odaily News: Dragonfly partner Haseeb posted on X platform, responding to doubts about the long-term stability of Pump.fun's revenue curve. He believes this phenomenon is not abnormal and, from a macro perspective, closely resembles the trend of overall crypto spot trading volume.Haseeb stated that some users suspect data anomalies because daily trading volume appears too stable, lacking a weekend dip. However, he argues this perspective overlooks the participant structure of the Meme coin market. Since Meme coin trading is primarily driven by retail investors, it does not experience a significant decline in trading volume on weekends, unlike markets dominated by professional traders and hedge funds such as Hyperliquid.Haseeb noted that users can verify this by examining Pump.fun's pre-issuance revenue data, which previously showed similar stability and does not indicate any irregularities. Additionally, he mentioned that trading terminals and Telegram bots have relatively high trading volumes, so their revenue is not necessarily highly correlated with Pump.fun itself. Currently, the revenue curve of the largest trading terminal, Axiom, closely resembles that of Pump.fun.
