Solana ($SOL ) Price Moves Above $180 amid Pump.fun 50% Revenue Sharing Signal
Solana price broke above $180 as Pump.fun’s new revenue-sharing model renewed bullish momentum and creator-driven trading activity.
Solana climbed to $183.61 Tuesday, gaining 5.8% as Pump.fun announced its new 50% revenue sharing initiative for coin creators.
The platform will now distribute 0.05% in SOL per trade to eligible creators, a move poised to drive adoption and incentivize continuous token launches. The model includes all coins actively trading, newly created, or those graduated to PumpSwap.
Market participants responded swiftly. The announcement, which garnered over 1.7 million views, reaffirmed Solana’s role in the creator economy and drew a fresh wave of speculative and builder-driven interest.
Solana price looks set for more upside action in the coming days as rising engagement from meme-fueled platforms like Pump.fun could further reinforce the network’s appeal during cycles of memecoin-led rallies
Long/short positioning tilts clearly bullish. On Binance, the top trader long/short ratio stands at 2.31, and OKX accounts show a ratio of 1.65, both indicating leveraged bets favoring upside.
This directional bias is further supported by liquidation data: in the last 24 hours, $19.46 million in positions were wiped out, with $14.44 million from shorts, and just over $5 million long positions closed.
Combined with Pump.fun’s incentive alignment, the derivatives setup adds technical weight to the argument for a near-term continuation on the ongoing Solana price rally toward $190 to $195.
