By late August 2026, the Solana-based Pump.fun protocol saw a significant surge in revenue and PUMP token market activity. The platform recently ranked as the third highest-earning cryptocurrency protocol by weekly revenue, trailing only Tether and Circle, after generating approximately $12 million in a single week. This momentum continued as weekly revenue reached a post-February high of $13.68 million, with nearly all income—$13.67 million—originating from the Solana network. This revenue growth fueled a rally in the PUMP token, supported by a 50/50 revenue allocation policy where half of net revenue is directed toward token buybacks and burns. While the platform expanded services to HyperEVM, concerns emerged regarding three interconnected addresses that transferred approximately 19 billion PUMP tokens, valued at $91 million, to exchanges including Coinbase Prime and OKX. In ~~September~~ mid-September 2026, market analysts began monitoring PUMP ahead of a potential altcoin season. A bullish analysis from Blockworks Research highlighted the platform’s massive scale, noting it has generated approximately $677 million in annual revenue, with cumulative revenue since 2024 reaching $1.37 billion. The report suggested that under bullish market scenarios, PUMP could see a price increase of 2.3 to 4.4 times its current value, potentially reaching a range of $0.0108 to $0.0205. However, analysts cautioned that declining platform activity could result in a price drop of 50% to 75%. By September 13, 2026, Pump.fun expanded its Solana-based capabilities to allow users to launch tokens paired with metals, major cryptocurrencies, and tokenized stocks. Simultaneously, the PUMP token experienced a rally driven by approximately $40.83 million in fresh capital inflows into the perpetual market. This surge in Open Interest was largely attributed to long positions, with the funding rate increasing nearly tenfold amid rising bullish sentiment and whale activity.
