According to on-chain analyst Yu Jin (@EmberCN), Pump.fun transferred another 16.43 million USDT to Kraken 7 hours ago. Thus, among the stablecoins (USDC+USDT) obtained from its $PUMP public offering last July, a cumulative total of approximately $770 million has flowed into centralized exchanges.

According to Lookonchain monitoring, a whale began buying PUMP after more than a year of inactivity, spending 5,000 SOL (worth $358,000) to purchase 242.66 million PUMP tokens. Over a year ago, the whale bought 10,957 SOL at $237 each, worth $2.6 million, and staked them.

Odaily Odaily News Trader Ansem stated on platform X that there are currently enough high-quality tokens on the market, so he has no immediate plans to issue a personal token but will airdrop the creator fees allocated to his Pump.fun personal page.Ansem stated that users who retweet the relevant post, follow his Pump.fun page, and comment with their own Pump.fun profile will have the opportunity to participate in a weekly random airdrop.Additionally, Ansem revealed that his creator fee share alone over the past week was approximately $200,000. He believes that using this portion of income for airdrops could replicate the market stimulus effect of the Jito airdrop in 2023 and could potentially serve as a catalyst to ignite a new bull run for Solana. However, he also pointed out that Pump.fun still needs to address the user experience issue regarding batch claims for airdrops.

Castle Labs (@castle_labs) published a post stating that the current crypto market is undergoing a profound paradigm shift—speculative models prioritizing extraction are gradually giving way to investment logic oriented toward revenue generation. The article notes that since 2026, the broader crypto market has performed poorly: most assets have seen sustained price declines, ETF funds have continued flowing out, project shutdowns have intensified, and institutional VC investments have grown increasingly conservative. The key catalysts for this shift were last October’s large-scale liquidation event and the ongoing market reflection triggered by gold consistently outperforming Bitcoin. On the revenue data front, among the roughly 5,700 protocols tracked by DeFiLlama, only 3.5% generated over $100,000 in revenue over the past 30 days—and fewer than 1% actually distributed earnings to token holders. The article focuses on top revenue-generating protocols—including Hyperliquid (HYPE), Pumpdotfun (PUMP), Tron (TRON), Sky (SKY), Jupiter (JUP), Aave (AAVE), and Aerodrome (AERO)—analyzing their price-to-sales ratios (P/S) and token holder return metrics. It argues that protocol revenue—and its capacity to feed value back to token holders—is becoming the core metric investors use to evaluate and select projects. Regarding institutionalization trends, traditional financial giants—including NYSE, Robinhood, BlackRock, and Franklin Templeton—
