PumpFun Weekly Fees Surpass $10 Million for the First Time as Trading Volume Hits $2.97 Billion

The explosive growth of meme coin launchpads has turned one Solana-based platform into a fee-generating machine. According to the original report, PumpFun generated $10.03 million in protocol fees from August 3 to 9, the first time weekly fees have crossed the $10 million mark.

That 12% weekly increase arrived alongside a buyback and burn of 2.15 billion PUMP tokens worth roughly $5.02 million, and ecosystem trading volume surging to $2.97 billion, the highest since late January.

The fee milestone matters because it signals robust, sustained demand from retail traders who use PumpFun to launch and speculate on tokens with almost zero friction.

The platform has become a central piece of Solana’s meme coin infrastructure, and the jump in volume to a multi-month high suggests that traders are not just passing through — they are gambling at speed.
