Pump.fun Token Creation Soars to 25,000 in Single Day Amid Meme Coin Revival

Daily token creation on Pump.fun has exceeded expectations in December, reaching over 25,000 new meme coins on December 2. This milestone marks the highest single-day count since mid-September and suggests a resurgence of retail investor interest in high-risk meme coin speculation as the year draws to a close.

Data from Dune shows that Pump.fun maintained daily token creation above 20,000 throughout December 2025, indicating sustained activity despite overall market declines. The platform's revenue and decentralized exchange volume remain down by more than 80% compared to early 2025, but active wallet addresses have held steady at around 100,000 on average since August.

Michael Nadeau, founder of The DeFi Report, has compared user retention metrics between Pump.fun and traditional Web2 applications. Pump.fun achieved 12.4% retention in Week 4 and 11.4% in Week 8, outperforming the typical 5-10% retention seen in Web2 consumer applications by a significant margin.

Daan Crypto Trades noted that meme coins have outperformed major altcoins over the past two weeks, indicating increased market risk appetite. However, he cautioned that this trend may not represent a long-term shift and warned of potential risks involved with meme coin speculation.
