pump

Most projects talk about "long-term value." $PUMP just proved it.
Today, they burned ALL previously bought-back $PUMP tokens — roughly $370M worth, equivalent to 36% of the entire circulating supply — destroyed across two on-chain transactions. Gone. Forever. This wasn't a promise. This wasn't a roadmap item. This was execution.

The Numbers Don't Lie:
For 9 months straight, #pumpfun routed 100% of platform revenue into buybacks. Over $1 billion in cumulative revenue generated. No other platform in crypto has operated at this scale with this level of commitment to token holders. The result? 36% of circulating supply permanently removed from the market in a single day.
And they're not stopping.
The New Era: 50% Revenue → Buyback & Burn, Locked by Smart Contract
Here's where it gets serious. #pump has now initiated a programmatic buyback-and-burn scheme locking 50% of ALL net revenue — from the Bonding Curve, PumpSwap, and Terminal — into an irreversible smart contract for the next 12 months. Every dollar that comes in, half of it automatically buys #pumpcoin on the open market and burns it immediately.
This isn't discretionary. It can't be turned off. It's coded.

What Does the Chart Say?
Look at the 15M structure. Price pumped over 10% on the announcement, consolidated, and is now holding comfortably above all three EMAs (9, 20, 50). The EMA stack is perfectly bullish — 9 above 20, 20 above 50, all rising. Price is currently compressing just above the 0.00191 zone, which has flipped from resistance to support.
The $0.0018 level has held as a floor through multiple breakdown attempts since December. With 36% of supply now gone and a revenue-backed burn machine running 24/7, that floor just got a lot harder to break.
The Bigger Picture:
24-hour trading volume surged 137% to $161M following the announcement, with market cap reaching $631M against an FDV of $1.9B. The RSI is rising with room left before overbought. Price is still 84% below the all-time high. That gap doesn't stay that way forever when supply is actively shrinking every single day.
The remaining 50% of revenue goes toward operations, hiring, marketing, and new products — meaning the platform is investing in growth, which in turn generates more revenue, which in turn burns more tokens. It's a flywheel.
Bottom Line:
$370M burned. Smart contract locked. 50% of revenue destroying supply daily. Platform still generating $1M+/day. Price still near range lows.
This is the kind of setup that looks obvious in hindsight.
PUMP isn't just changing tokenomics. It's setting a new standard for what a protocol owes its holders.

The Solana memecoin launchpad will now split revenue evenly between buybacks and operations, replacing a nine-month policy that funneled every dollar into burning $PUMP Solana-based token issuance launchpad Pump.fun has, to date, run a simple model: every dollar of revenue has gone toward buying and burning its own token. In theory, the constant supply reduction was supposed to steadily prop up PUMP's price and align the token's value with the platform's success.
But that model is now history after a review of the previous 100% buyback showed it wasn't fully working in the company's favor.
The firm said in an X post

that it would shift to a 50/50 split, in which half of all future net revenue from the Pump.fun bonding curve, PumpSwap, and Terminal, the company's three core products, flows into an irreversible smart contract that automatically buys PUMP on the open market and burns it for the next year.
The other half stays with the company for product investment, hiring, marketing, and potential acquisitions. The previous policy was to allocate 100% of revenue to buybacks.

Pump said it had burned all PUMP tokens it had bought back from the open market over the past nine months, or roughly 36% of that token's circulating supply, in two transactions on Solana.
Burn refers to the permanent removal of tokens from circulation, usually by sending them to a crypto wallet address not controlled or held by anyone. PUMP's burn announcement is one of the largest single-event supply reductions in crypto history by share of circulating tokens.

Co-founder Alon Cohen explained the change in a follow-up post on X, arguing the business needs the other half of revenue for product investment, hiring, marketing, and potential acquisitions, to keep Pump.fun alive for "decades to come."
Part of the reason the move was necessary is the price chart.
