PUMP Token Skyrockets as Pump.fun’s New Creator Model Drives Fee Revenue to Record Highs

PUMP surges on massive fee generation from platform's revamped creator ecosystem—proving once again that in crypto, the real money isn't in creating tokens, but in charging for the privilege.

The Fee Machine

Pump.fun's updated creator incentive structure is funneling unprecedented transaction volume through the protocol. Fees are stacking up faster than degenerate gamblers at a roulette table—except the house always wins.

Market Reaction

Traders are piling into PUMP as metrics flash green. The token's rally mirrors the platform's growing dominance in the meme coin creation space. No actual utility required—just pure, unadulterated fee extraction.

Wall Street's Still Watching

Traditional finance analysts remain baffled by revenue models that outperform their own—while charging more for token launches than some hedge funds charge for management. Maybe they're just jealous of the margins.

Solana’s Pump.fun Surpasses Protocol Giants With Explosive Fee Growth

According to DefiLlama, ​​Solana-based memecoin creation platform Pump.fun has leapt to the top of the charts, becoming the leading crypto protocol by daily fees generated over the past 24 hours. 

During that period, the protocol’s fees have totaled $5.73 million, ranking third only behind stablecoin issuers such as Tether and Circle.

The fee spike is largely fueled by Pump.fun’s new creator fee model. As earlier reported, the platform’s “Project Ascend” initiative introduced a dynamic, tiered structure called Dynamic Fees V1, which scales fees according to a token’s market capitalization. 

Under this model, fees for newly launched tokens start higher but gradually decrease as a token’s market cap grows.

Market Signals Put Bulls Still in Control

The changes have boosted network activity, translating into higher daily fees and growing demand for Pump.fun’s native token, PUMP. 

Trading at $0.004204 at press time, its value has jumped nearly 10% in the past 24 hours. Its trading volume has also increased by 13%, to reach $354 million, confirming the strengthening buy-side pressure. 

When both price and trading volume climb in tandem, it signals that the rally is supported by broad market participation. This indicates growing investor confidence in PUMP, as higher volumes validate its upward price movement.

Further, on the daily chart, the altcoin trades significantly above its 20-day exponential moving average. As of this writing, the key moving average forms dynamic support below PUMP’s price at $0.003482. 

The 20-day EMA measures an asset’s average price over the past 20 trading days, giving weight to recent prices. When price trades above the 20-day EMA like this, it signals short-term bullish momentum and suggests buyers are in control.

PUMP Bulls Set Sights on $0.005177 

If PUMP buyers remain in control, they could drive its price higher toward $0.004572. A breach of this level could open the door for a rally to $0.005177.

However, if profit-taking begins, the token could shed some of its value and fall under $0.004027.
