Solana-based token deployer, Pump.fun, has reached a significant milestone, with its total revenue now surpassing 1 million Solana (SOL). This amounts to roughly $188.5 million, putting the platform within striking distance of the $200 million revenue mark.
Launched in January, Pump.fun has experienced rapid growth, achieving the $100 million milestone just 217 days after its launch. As reported by crypto.news, the platform became the fastest application in the crypto space to reach $100 million in revenue. Since hitting that mark last month, Pump.fun’s revenue has surged by an additional $88 million.
The recent spike in revenue can be attributed to two key factors: an increase in Pump.fun’s Solana holdings and the rising price of Solana itself. Despite selling 264,373 SOL as of early September, Pump.fun has retained much of its SOL holdings.
Notably, as Bitcoin (BTC) surged toward $73,000, the broader cryptocurrency market’s rebound contributed to a sharp rise in Solana’s value, driving Pump.fun’s total revenue closer to the $200 million threshold.
