Bonk.fun has overtaken Pump.fun to become the leading Solana token launchpad, driving over $540 million in volume across 175,000 launches.
With 58% of fees allocated to buying and burning BONK, the platform strengthens token demand while reducing supply, generating over $500,000 in daily buy pressure.
Competing platforms like Believe and Moonshot trail behind, as Bonk. fun-backed tokens like USELESS surge to $250 million market cap, underscoring Bonk. fun’s ecosystem impact.
Bonk.fun has become the major token launchpad in the Solana blockchain. On the weekend, it took the lead over Pump.fun and claimed 55.2 percent market share of meme launchpads. Such a change of control will be an important turning point in the race of Solana-based token platforms.
Newly released figures show Bonk.fun facilitated over $540 million in trading volume across 175,000 token launches. It also generated about $34 million in fees. In comparison, Pump.fun, which launched in January 2024, currently holds a 34.9% market share with $341 million in volume. The rapid rise of Bonk.fun in just two months indicates growing interest in its fee structure and platform mechanics.
BONK Token Benefits from Platform Mechanics and Fee Allocation
The BONK token has seen a rise in demand due to Bonk. fun’s unique fee distribution model. The platform uses 50% of all fees to buy and burn BONK tokens. An additional 8% goes toward acquiring BONK for reserves. This setup reduces the circulating supply while creating consistent buy pressure on the token.
With Bonk.fun outcompeting Pump.fun, since then daily platform revenue has been over $1 million. Using current data, this translates to more than half a million dollars worth of daily BONK buying and burning. Provided by the current tempo of the growth, the regular expenses of the yearly purchase of the BONK token may reach hundreds of millions of dollars, which will imply additional shortening of the supply.
Not only does this structure support BONK, but it also assists in keeping the token stable during market fluctuation. Investors have not been left behind, and the incorporation of the token in the launchpad has made it a primary utility in the ecosystem.
Other platforms are catching up, but Bonk. Fun is leading the pack.
As Bonk.fun seeks to increase its presence, other players in the space, focused on Solana launchpad, have not been able to match it. The smallest platforms, such as Believe, Jup Studio, and Moonshot, have less than 8 percent of the total market share. They are lagging both in engagement and volume.
The tokens launched through Bonk.fun have also gained an upward push through the traction. A good example is that of USELESS, which has hit a market cap of more than 250 million. The rise in its ascent reflects the general impact Bonk. fun has on the Solana meme token world. With the development of the meme launchpad industry, the strategic model of Bonk. fun makes it the leader of Solana token innovation.
