PUMP’s 144% Surge Signals Just The Start As Pump.Fun Overtakes Hyperliquid In Key Metric

PUMP isn't just pumping—it's rewriting the playbook for meme coin launches while traditional finance still debates whether crypto is a 'real asset class.'

The Metrics That Matter

Pump.Fun just flipped Hyperliquid in a major performance indicator, proving that retail momentum can outpace institutional infrastructure. That 144% surge wasn't a fluke—it was the market voting with its wallet.

Beyond The Hype

This isn't another vaporware project riding speculation. The protocol's tokenomics actually create sustainable incentives rather than just enriching early whales—a novel concept in a space where 'fair launch' often means 'insiders first.'

The New Launchpad Standard

Forget waiting for venture capital permission. Pump.Fun's model lets communities bootstrap liquidity without begging for institutional validation—because nothing says 'decentralized' like bypassing the usual gatekeepers.

Wall Street might dismiss this as irrational exuberance, but they said the same about Bitcoin at $100. Sometimes the market's irrational longer than you can remain solvent.

Pump.Fun Surpasses Hyperliquid In Daily Revenue

In an interesting turn of events, Pump.Fun, the native platform behind the PUMP token, has overtaken Hyperliquid in terms of daily revenue. Hyperliquid, an on-chain perps trading platform, has been the third-highest on-chain revenue generator, right behind stablecoin issuers Tether and Circle.

This meant that Hyperliquid was the number 1 decentralized finance (DeFi) platform and non-stablecoin issuer in terms of revenue, averaging over $2.5 million daily. Its high revenue generation was also instrumental in driving up the value of its native HYPE token. Part of its revenue went into token buybacks, pushing up demand for the altcoin.

However, with the recent development, Pump.Fun has now dethroned Hyperliquid, pushing it into the fourth position. PUMP now reigns at 3rd position, after recording $3.12 million in daily revenue, compared to the $3 million generated by the Hyperliquid platform for the same time period.

While Hyperliquid continues to lead over longer timeframes, such as weekly and monthly, the recent rise in the Pump.Fun revenue could have very bullish implications for its native token.

Why The PUMP Token Price Can Benefit From This

The rise in the Pump.Fun metric to flip Hyperliquid is bullish for the PUMP price in the fact that the platform also uses almost 100% of its revenue to actually buyback the token. This was highlighted by crypto analyst Kaduna in an X post, explaining that this could pump the price.

According to Kaduna, the PUMP token is still massively undervalued at a $2.8 billion market cap compared to HYPE’s $14.4 billion market cap. He also points out that the streaming service on the Pump.Fun website is just starting, something which is also bullish for the platform.

If the revenue continues and the buybacks are notable, then it is possible that the PUMP price is headed to new all-time highs. At the time of writing, the price is only sitting 30% below its $0.01214 all-time high that was recorded back in July.
