Top Reasons Why Pump.fun Surpassed Hyperliquid on Revenue
Creator Fees Attract More Users
The Pump.fun platform surpassed Hyperliquid in daily revenue partially due to the attractive rewards in creator fees. For example, Solana memecoin Elizabeth Cat has earned more than $90k in creator fees for just three days.
With more competitive projects seeking to earn more creator fees, the Pump.fun platform will continue to record higher revenues.
What’s the Impact of Live Streaming on Pump.fun?
The Pump.fun platform has introduced several features to keep users more engaged and incentivized. For instance, Pump.fun’s streaming feature has been reported to earn higher revenue for content creators than YouTube.
Ran Neuner, a CNBC crypto trader and founder of Crypto Banter, reported that he made over $15k in creator rewards on one Pump.fun stream compared to $20k on YouTube for the last month via 140 shows.
Is Meme Season at Hand?
The Pump.fun platform has outshined Hyperliquid in daily revenue as crypto traders anticipate a meme season. According to market data analysis from CoinGlass, the Altcoin Season Index has surged to the highest level in 2025 of about 80, suggesting that more traders are expecting an altcoin rally before the end of this year.
What’s the Impact of Rising Revenue on the PUMP Market?
Higher Revenue Reciprocates to More Buybacks
The Pump.fun has in the past few weeks used almost its entire revenue to buy back PUMP tokens from the secondary market. Following the recent surge in Pump.fun revenue, the PUMP token buybacks also surged to the highest level since August 15, 2025.
The Pump.fun platform has so far purchased $97.3 million worth of PUMP tokens, thus reducing its circulating supply by 6.67%.
Bull Rally Ahead?
Following the rising adoption of Pump.fun platform, the demand for PUMP token has grown in tandem. As such, the PUMP price has rallied in the past few days to reach a new all-time high of about $0.0088 on the same day the Pump.fun platform surpassed Hyperliquid in daily revenue.
From a technical analysis standpoint, PUMP price has potentially entered its parabolic phase ahead of the anticipated Q4 rally. Crypto analyst Johnny (@CryptoGodJohn) has argued that PUMP price may retest its previous ATH before continuing with bullish momentum.
