Pump.fun, a Solana-based memecoin launchpad, generated over $10 million in protocol fees during the week of August 3-9, 2026, marking its first time crossing this milestone. This weekly revenue of about $12 million places Pump.fun third among all DeFi protocols, surpassing Hyperliquid's revenue in the same period.
