Pump.fun daily volume crosses $1B as memecoins surge in September

Solana-based memecoin launchpad Pump.fun cleared $1B in daily trading on Monday after $942M Sunday, as the sector’s market cap spiked to ~$83B before easing. Activity is being buoyed by a TVL climb and a push into livestreaming.

Pump.fun recorded a sharp two-day burst in trading, topping $1.02 billion in daily volume on Monday after $942 million on Sunday. The move tracked a broader September rebound in memecoins.

Sector gauges flashed the same momentum. The memecoin market cap climbed to about $83 billion on Sunday and stayed above $80 billion on Monday before easing to roughly $76 billion at the time of writing, near July’s $85 billion local peak.

On-chain metrics for Pump.fun also firmed. Total value locked (TVL) reached a record of around $334 million over the weekend, while the protocol ranked third in 24‑hour revenue for two straight days, behind stablecoin issuers and ahead of some derivatives venues.

The team has pushed a livestreaming product alongside token launches. On Monday, it said it paid out $4 million in creator rewards, most of it to first‑time creators. “A Cambrian explosion of ideas is well underway, powered by tokenization,” the project wrote.

Pump.fun co‑founder Alon separately claimed the platform had “flipped” Rumble in average concurrent livestreams and was approaching ~1% of Twitch’s share and ~10% of Kick’s. Those figures could not be verified via independent data providers.

The break‑out came as marquee memecoins also firmed: Dogecoin (DOGE) rose roughly 11% over the past week amid expectations of a U.S. ETF launch, while several smaller tokens (Memecore, Moo Deng, DORA) posted double‑digit gains. Whether Pump.fun’s volumes hold will likely hinge on sector risk appetite as September progresses.
