Pump.fun Surpasses $10M in Weekly Fees, Outperforms Hyperliquid

Pump.fun, a Solana-based memecoin launchpad, achieved a significant milestone in August 2026. During the week of August 3-9, it generated over $10 million in protocol fees, marking its first time crossing this threshold.

This weekly revenue of approximately $12 million puts Pump.fun third among all DeFi protocols, surpassing Hyperliquid's revenue in the same period.

The platform's success can be attributed to high-frequency retail trading and a deflationary token buyback and burn mechanism. Over 30 days in August, Pump.fun earned $35.67 million compared to Hyperliquid's $32.46 million.
