Pump.fun’s $33M buyback pushes PUMP token up 15% in 24 hours, reinforcing its lead in the Solana memecoin launchpad space.
It just gave the PUMP token community a reason to celebrate. The Solana-based memecoin launchpad has pulled off a massive buyback spree, snapping up $8.42 million worth of PUMP in the past week alone. That’s a huge 97.29% of its weekly revenue — and it’s working. The token price spiked over 15% in 24 hours, trading at $0.004053 according to CoinMarketCap.
This isn’t a one-off move either. Since the program began, Pump.fun has bought back a total of $33.61 million in PUMP, cutting into the circulating supply. That’s roughly 0.741% of its whopping 1 trillion total tokens — and the scarcity effect is real.
Pump.fun’s Memecoin Domination
Pump.fun isn’t just playing defense. On August 11 alone, it launched 26,836 new tokens, grabbing a 73.6% market share of all memecoins created that day, according to Dune Analytics. This puts it way ahead of rivals like LetsBonk and Bags, cementing its position as the go-to platform for memecoin creators on Solana.
Buybacks aren’t new in finance both stock and crypto markets have used them to prop up value for decades. But Pump.fun’s aggressive approach has caught analysts’ eyes, with some saying PUMP could break through higher resistance levels if the momentum holds.
For now, Pump.fun is turning the “memecoin wars” on Solana into its personal victory lap and if they keep this up, PUMP might just be the token to watch in 2025.
