Вирусный переход: Pump.fun забирает внимание у LetsBonk, снижая ее долю до рекордного минимума Translation: Viral Shift: Pump.fun Captures Attention from LetsBonk, Reducing Its Share to Record Low

Pump.fun has reclaimed its leading position in the sector, with the platform’s share reaching 90%. In contrast, its main competitor LetsBonk has seen its share drop to 3%, according to The Block.

Just two weeks prior, the tables were reversed: LetsBonk controlled over 80% of the market while Pump.fun held just 5%.

This sudden shift occurred after major memecoin creators, including bots, transitioned in large numbers from LetsBonk to Pump.fun. This was noted by crypto trader under the alias WazzCrypto, referencing data from Dune.

«The top 10 token developers (mostly bots) have resumed mass launching of new assets on Pump.fun, and the platform’s market share soared to 90% overnight,» he stated.

In July, Coinbase’s director Connor Grogan confirmed that most coins generated on memecoin production platforms are initiated by automated scripts, with certain accounts doing so every three minutes.

As of August 18, the number of daily active addresses on Pump.fun was 123,847, compared to 9,614 on LetsBonk. For comparison, earlier in the month, the figures were 58,575 and 80,129, respectively.

In the past 24 hours, trading volume on Pump.fun surpassed $175 million, while LetsBonk saw just $2.6 million, down from $114.5 million registered on August 1.

The Block believes that Pump.fun is enticing users away from LetsBonk by actively purchasing its native token. Last month, the platform began acquiring these tokens with its own profits. Additionally, news emerged about the platform’s intention to share profits with PUMP holders.

Recent data indicates that Pump.fun has ramped up its token acquisitions even more in August.

On August 8, the platform also launched the Glass Full Foundation (GFF), an initiative aimed at fostering a memecoin ecosystem on Solana.

According to SolanaFloor, LetsBonk is attempting to regain its footing. As of August 18, it was reported that the platform plans to introduce a bonus program for memecoin creators and traders.

At the end of July, the project also promised to direct 1% of its revenue towards token buybacks for the BONK ecosystem, but this did not stop the outflow of users.

In mid-August, a new memecoin generation platform called Heaven emerged within the Solana ecosystem, with 100% of the protocol’s revenue dedicated to perpetual buybacks and burning of LIGHT tokens.

The platform has already burned coins worth $1.7 million, accounting for 2.1% of its total supply of 1 billion.

Unlike Pump.fun and LetsBonk, Heaven combines a launchpad with its own DEX, trading assets approved by the platform. Developers manually review each project and monitor liquidity, minimizing the impact of MEV bots.

In just a few days, the new platform has already surpassed LetsBonk in terms of the number of launched tokens, with 4,761 compared to 434 on August 18.

Previously, the Heaven team also unveiled the Starseed program, a counterpart to Pump.fun’s GFF initiative, aimed at supporting promising projects on the platform.

Lastly, it should be noted that on August 13, the Bitcoin-based memecoin platform Odin.fun suffered a loss of 58.2 BTC (approximately $7 million) due to a hacking incident.
