DefiLlama’s numbers support this claim.Pump.fun generated $35.67 million in revenue over the last 30 days. Hyperliquid generated $32.46 million in the same stretch.The comparison is not exact, since the two platforms are measured differently. Pump.fun’s number includes bonding curve fees, PumpSwap fees and Terminal fees. Hyperliquid’s revenue mostly reflects fees sent to its Assistance Fund for HYPE purchases.Pump.fun’s total gross fees were much higher, at $88.87 million over 30 days. That larger figure includes fees spread across the wider ecosystem, not just the platform’s own revenue.Trading activity also picked up. Pump.fun reported $2.97 billion in ecosystem volume for the week, its highest since late January. Bonding curve trading made up $751.6 million of that, while PumpSwap handled $2.22 billion.Buybacks Continue To Reduce SupplyPump.fun spent $5.02 million buying back and burning about 2.15 billion PUMP tokens during the week. This is part of a policy that sends half of platform revenue toward token buybacks through a locked smart contract.Social trading just leveled up on the Pumpfun app!– Callout tokens, alert EVERY single follower – Trade with ZERO fees– Trade crosschain seamlessly with USDCGrow your following now pic.twitter.com/lZGWozPCEY— Pump.fun (@Pumpfun) August 7, 2026The platform says its total buybacks and burns have now removed 15.7% of PUMP’s original supply.DefiLlama’s own tracking shows a close but not identical number. It recorded $5.16 million flowing to PUMP holders through burns over its seven day window.PUMP was trading near $0.0028 on Aug. 11. The token gained 33.8% over the past week and 104.1% over the past month, putting its market cap around $1.1 billion.Despite the gains, PUMP remains about 68% below the record high it set in September 2025. The rally happened alongside the fee increase, but the report does not show one causing the other.A new token unlock is scheduled for Aug. 12. DefiLlama’s data shows 4.167 billion PUMP for the team and 2.708 billion for investors becoming unlocked that day.The combined 6.875 billion tokens were worth about $19.2 million at recent prices. That represents about 1.75% of the token’s circulating supply.Pump.fun has also been expanding its social trading features. It launched token callouts, zero fee trading and cross chain trades funded with USDC on Aug. 7.The newsletter said callouts rose 44% during the week, while replies increased 87%.The platform still faces a separate legal matter in the U.S. The case, Aguilar v. Baton Corporation Ltd., is filed in the Southern District of New York, with its last known filing dated April 13, 2026.Plaintiffs allege securities violations tied to tokens sold on the platform. These remain allegations and have not been proven in court.The next test for Pump.fun’s revenue streak arrives with Wednesday’s token unlock, which will show whether trading activity holds up under new supply pressure.The post Pump.fun Weekly Fees Surpass $10 Million For First Time appeared first on Blockonomi.
