Pump.fun, a Solana-based platform, recorded its highest weekly revenue for 2025 in mid-August amidst a recovery in the memecoin sector.
Pump.fun Revenue Recovery
According to DeFi data tracking, Pump.fun generated $13.48 million between August 11 and 17, marking its best performance since February. This increase followed a significant revenue drop from July, where the platform generated only $1.72 million, its lowest since March 2024.
Return to Leadership in Memecoin Sector
The revenue increase coincided with a rebound in the broader memecoin sector, which nearly reached $75 billion on August 11. During this period, Pump.fun also regained dominance among memecoin launchpads on Solana, achieving a 73.6% market share and $4.68 billion in seven-day trading volume.
Legal Challenges Facing Pump.fun
Despite its successful recovery, Pump.fun faces legal issues. A class-action lawsuit has been filed alleging that the platform used 'guerrilla marketing' to create artificial urgency. Reports indicate investor losses have already reached $5.5 billion. Nonetheless, according to Dune Analytics, the platform's lifetime revenue has already hit $800 million.
This situation indicates that Pump.fun is navigating market challenges successfully while continuing to attract attention from both investors and users.
