Pumpfun Memecoin Mania Peaks: Creators Rake in Record-Breaking Earnings This Week

Memecoin creators are cashing in big as Pumpfun streams hit unprecedented volumes—turning internet jokes into serious revenue streams almost overnight.

The Surge Nobody Predicted

Forget traditional IPOs or VC funding rounds. The real action's happening on-chain, where meme-inspired tokens are pulling in numbers that'd make Wall Street blush. Creators aren't just dipping toes in; they're diving headfirst into liquidity pools overflowing with investor enthusiasm.

When Memes Meet Money

It's the perfect storm of viral content meeting crypto's permissionless creation engine. No gatekeepers, no lengthy approval processes—just pure, unfiltered market momentum driving tokens from concept to cashout in record time. The platform's infrastructure handles the technical heavy lifting while creators focus on what they do best: building communities around digital culture.

Finance's New Frontier—Or Its Latest Circus?

Sure, traditionalists might scoff at dog-themed tokens and cartoon-inspired coins, but the earnings speak louder than cynical tweets from finance boomers. While bankers debate yield curves, Pumpfun creators are rewriting the rules of asset creation—one meme at a time. Just remember: in today's market, even jokes can have serious financial teeth.

Streaming growth

A key driver of this rebound has been the relaunch of Pump.fun’s livestreaming feature. The platform, once criticized for unsafe broadcasts including instances of self-harm, paused the function last year.

However, its reintroduction has triggered a surge in user activity, with livestreaming now contributing directly to engagement and platform revenue.

Alon Cohen, Pump.fun’s co-founder, said the platform has already overtaken Rumble in average concurrent streams. He added that Pump.fun now controls roughly 1% of Twitch’s market share and 10% of Kick’s.

Alon also signaled that the project no longer limits itself to crypto-native audiences but instead seeks a foothold in mainstream content streaming. He also outlined the several opportunities that streaming on the platform could provide users, by saying:

“When you stream on pump fun you get INSTANT Creator Fees (100x+ of what you earn elsewhere). INSTANT viewership with a community that’s incentivized to support you. Free clipping on X (other socials soon). And 24/7 support from the team.”

Despite ongoing criticism of its approach, Alon has brushed aside concerns, arguing that new entrants inevitably face scrutiny and that competitors will continue to emerge.

He stated:

“first they said that memecoin activity WOULD never sustain then they said that no one would ever stream on pump fun now they’re saying that pump fun streaming is not sustainable I wonder what they’ll come up with next.”

Creator earnings rise

The renewed activity has translated into direct gains for creators on the solana memecoin launchpad.

Data from Dune Analytics showed that creator earnings on Pump.fun soared to $20 million in the last seven days, which is a record weekly payout for the platform.

The data shows that the top 25 creators earned between $24,100 and $123,000 in the past 24 hours alone.
