Solana Memecoin Drama: LetsBonk Outpaces Pump.fun in Wild 24-Hour Revenue Showdown ðŸ˜ą

by

In news that will make your crypto-hodling cousin text you “Bonk to the Moon!” for the next two weeks: Solana memecoin launchpad LetsBonk just flipped its arch-nemesis Pump.fun in 24-hour revenue, per serious grown-ups at DefiLlama. The numbers are in, and LetsBonk bagged a whopping $1.04 million in the last 24 hours. Pump.fun? Just $533,412. Sad trombone noise.

So, what’s going on here? Apparently, the highly disciplined (read: ungovernable) Bonk (BONK) memecoin community smelled an opportunity and meme’d LetsBonk to the top. Social campaigns, GIFs, possibly a ceremonial summoning circle—whatever it was, it worked.

BONK isn’t just your garden-variety meme token. With 430,000+ followers on X (and presumably at least twelve dogs named “Bonk” on TikTok), BONK is the popular kid at Solana High. CoinGecko’s numbers put its market cap at $1.8 billion and a daily trading volume of $1.2 billion. That makes it the No. 58 crypto token worldwide—still fewer fans than Taylor Swift, but a lot more than your cousin’s band.

Pump.fun: “But Look at the Last 30 Days, Mom!”

LetsBonk’s claim to fame? The launchpad dropped on April 25—a day that will live in blockchain infamy—and promised to be the “self-serving launchpad for memecoins.” Which sounds like something a Bond villain would say if he really liked memes and spreadsheets.

Apparently, the platform is on a mission to end “predatory practices” in the wild, wild west of memecoin launches. Which, let’s be honest, is like outlawing sharks from being sharks.

over the past 30 days, Pump.fun has absolutely nuked the competition, clocking in $37 million in revenue versus LetsBonk’s $4.5 million. So, longtime holders, you can stop composing your thinkpieces. For now.

BONK: The Dog Coin With Actual Bite 🐕ðŸ’ļ

LetsBonk’s big entrance seems to have given BONK the kind of price boost usually reserved for Silicon Valley snacks or Taylor Swift tickets. Back on April 25, BONK was chillin’ at $0.00001535. But as of this writing, the little dog has jumped to $0.00002332. That’s an almost 52% surge—in percentages, that’s like finding out your grandma is Dogecoin’s secret whale.
