Meme-coin platform pump.fun has broken its previous revenue record, earning over $15.5 million in commissions on January 24, 2025, according to Dune data.

Launched in January 2024, pump.fun quickly rose to the top of its niche, surpassing $100 million in total revenue in just 217 days. Observers link its success to an innovative approach to meme-coin launches, such as Moo Deng and Fartcoin, which often tap into viral trends, cultural phenomena, or social causes.

Earlier, the community celebrated pump.fun’s anniversary. Over the past year, the platform’s commission-based profits reached $437 million.

Vine Coin as Key Driver

The record-breaking daily revenue was fueled by Vine Coin (VINE)—a meme token created by Vine co-founder Rus Yusupov. Hype grew after Elon Musk, owner of the social platform X (formerly Twitter), hinted at a potential revival of the Vine brand.

As excitement spread, Vine Coin quickly hit a market capitalization of $434 million. At press time, the token trades around $0.435, with a 26% price increase in the past 24 hours, CoinMarketCap data shows.

In the last two weeks, trading volume on pump.fun exceeded $4 billion, while total platform revenue surpassed 2.5 million SOL.

Despite pump.fun’s impressive numbers, critics highlight significant risks for potential investors—some have lost funds trading on the platform, prompting a lawsuit from a U.S. law firm. Others suggest new rivals—like Moonshot, recently acquired by aggregator Jupiter—could challenge pump.fun’s leadership. Nonetheless, current milestones indicate that pump.fun remains one of the most successful meme-coin platforms.
