💡 Insight
Pump.fun x MEMEcoin: What Just Happened?
Pump.fun — the largest meme token launchpad on Solana — just launched its own memecoin: $MEME.
Within 48 hours, $MEME hit a $100M+ market cap and was listed on major exchanges like Bybit and Bitget. The launch came with a 200% airdrop for Pump.fun creators and traders.
Why This Matters
Pump.fun isn’t just another meme token platform — it’s a viral app with strong on-chain engagement:
~500 new meme tokens launch daily
Over $80M in trading volume in July alone
Low friction to create, trade, and rotate into new tokens
Now with $MEME, they’ve added a governance + loyalty layer that rewards their most active users — and encourages even more participation.
What Happens Next?
This could signal the start of Meme Season 2 on Solana.
Why?
$MEME acts as an index on meme activity
Traders now rotate into meme tokens hoping to farm more $MEME
Liquidity is flowing back into small-cap Solana plays
Expect:
Higher volumes on Pump.fun
Rotation into newer meme tokens (low mcap / low liquidity)
More copycats and spin-off platforms launching soon
