DefiLlama recorded $10.49 million of Pump protocol revenue over the latest seven days.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Pump.fun revenue moves ahead of Hyperliquid<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Pump.fun also said it had overtaken Hyperliquid in revenue measured over 30 days. DefiLlama\u2019s latest <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/defillama.com\/protocol\/pump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">data<\/a> supports that comparison. Pump recorded $35.67 million of revenue during the latest 30 day period, while Hyperliquid generated $32.46 million.<\/p>\n<p>The comparison requires some care because DefiLlama measures the protocols differently. For Pump, revenue includes the platform\u2019s share of bonding curve fees, PumpSwap protocol fees and Terminal fees after applicable payouts. Hyperliquid revenue primarily reflects fees routed to its Assistance Fund for HYPE purchases. Pump\u2019s broader gross fees were much higher at $88.87 million over 30 days because that measure also captures fees distributed elsewhere in the ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>Trading activity also strengthened. Pump.fun reported $2.97 billion in ecosystem volume during Aug. 3 to 9, which it called its \u201cstrongest trading week\u201d since late January. Bonding curve volume accounted for $751.6 million, while PumpSwap processed another $2.22 billion.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>PUMP buybacks burn another $5 million of tokens<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Pump.fun said $5.02 million was used to purchase and burn approximately 2.15 billion PUMP during the seven day period. The purchases form part of its commitment to route 50% of revenue toward PUMP buybacks and burns through a locked smart contract. The platform said cumulative repurchases and burns have now offset 15.7% of the token\u2019s original total supply.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Pump.fun Newsletter, source: Sapijiju\/X<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Blockchain based tracking broadly corroborates the latest buyback activity. DefiLlama, which measures PUMP holder revenue from recorded burns, showed $5.16 million flowing to token holders through the mechanism over its latest seven day rolling window. The difference from Pump.fun\u2019s $5.02 million figure is expected because the reporting windows and aggregation methods are not identical.<\/p>\n<p>The new figures continue a buyback strategy that has become central to PUMP\u2019s token economics. As previously reported in earlier token unlock analysis, Pump.fun committed half of platform revenue to automated repurchases and burns after carrying out a much larger supply reduction earlier in 2026.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>PUMP rallies but another token unlock is approaching<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>PUMP was trading near $0.0028 on Aug. 11, according to DefiLlama. The token had gained about 33.8% over seven days and 104.1% over 30 days, taking its circulating market capitalization to about $1.1 billion. However, it remained roughly 68% below its September 2025 record high.<\/p>\n<p>The timing does not establish that the latest fee report caused the rally. PUMP had already been advancing during the period covered by the newsletter, while buybacks, increased trading activity and broader market conditions were developing simultaneously. In related previous market coverage, buyback activity had already emerged as one factor traders were watching around PUMP.<\/p>\n<p>Attention now moves to another scheduled supply event. DefiLlama\u2019s <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/defillama.com\/unlocks\/pump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">schedule<\/a> lists 4.167 billion PUMP for the team and 2.708 billion for existing investors as becoming unlocked on Aug. 12. The combined 6.875 billion PUMP was valued at roughly $19.2 million using the tracker\u2019s latest price and represented about 1.75% of circulating supply.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Social trading grows as U.S. lawsuit remains unresolved<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Pump.fun is also trying to deepen activity beyond token launches. The platform publicly launched social trading on Aug. 7, introducing token callouts that alert followers, zero fee trading and cross chain trades funded with USDC.

Baton Corporation Ltd.<\/em> in the Southern District of New York lists April 13, 2026 as its last known filing date. Plaintiffs have alleged securities violations and other misconduct involving tokens sold through the platform. Those remain allegations, not findings of liability.<\/p>\n<p>The case has been covered previously in earlier lawsuit coverage. Meanwhile, the more immediate market test arrives with Wednesday\u2019s PUMP unlock. Beyond that event, the key operating measure will be whether the recent rebound in trading continues and keeps revenue above the levels that pushed Pump ahead of Hyperliquid over the latest 30 day period.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pump.fun generated $10.03 million in protocol fees during the week of Aug. 3 to 9, marking the first time its weekly total crossed $10 million under its current reporting series.\u00a0&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":32551,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-36905","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cryptocurrency"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36905","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=36905"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36905\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":36906,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36905\/revisions\/36906"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/32551"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36905"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=36905"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=36905"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
