September 16, 2025 â Solana-based memecoin launchpad Pump.fun recorded over $1 billion in daily trading volume on Monday, marking a milestone for the rapidly growing platform as the memecoin sector extended its September rally.
According to decentralized exchange (DEX) Jupiter, Pump.fun processed $942 million in transactions on Sunday before surging past $1.02 billion on Monday.
This surge coincided with memecoins reaching an $83 billion market cap, holding above $80 billion into the new week, according to CoinMarketCap. The figure neared the sectorâs peak of $85 billion in late July.

Pump.fun highlighted the growing adoption of its livestreaming product, reporting $4 million in creator rewards distributed on Monday, most of which went to first-time creators.
Co-founder Alon claimed that Pump.funâs livestreaming had surpassed Rumbleâs concurrent livestreams. He also said the platform had captured 1% of Twitchâs share and 10% of Kickâs share. These claims remain unverified by third-party platforms.
The Pump.fun surge aligned with broader memecoin market gains. Dogecoin rose despite delays in its planned US-based ETF, while smaller tokens like Memecore, Moo Deng, and DORA posted double-digit weekly gains.
