Move over, Pump.fun—Solana's latest meme sensation LetsbonkFun isn't just leading the pack; it's lapping it. With a blistering 2x advantage, the so-called 'new king' of degenerate gambling—er, speculative crypto—is rewriting the playbook.
How Solana's Underdog Became the Alpha Meme
No roadmap, no utility, just pure unadulterated hype. LetsbonkFun's rise exposes the brutal efficiency of crypto's meme economy—where viral beats fundamentals every time. Meanwhile, 'serious' DeFi projects weep into their whitepapers.
The Numbers Don't Bonk
That 2x lead isn't just bragging rights—it's a middle finger to rational valuation models. Retail traders pile in while VCs scramble to justify missing the next dogwifhat.
When the Music Stops...
Will LetsbonkFun crash harder than a Telegram scam bot? Almost certainly. But today, it's champagne showers and leveraged dreams—because in crypto, the only thing more profitable than being early is pretending this time is different.
Faster Launches and BONK Integration Fuel LetsbonkFun’s Rise
The surge in dominance comes as LetsbonkFun continues to attract creators and traders with faster launches, stronger community engagement, and integrations with Solana-native assets like BONK.
The platform’s simplicity and speed have helped it become the go-to launchpad for meme token creators in recent weeks.
While Pump.fun once held the top spot in Solana’s memecoin boom, it now lags behind in both activity and sentiment.
Its bonded percentage stands at 0.48%, compared to LetsbonkFun’s 1.02%, signaling lower commitment from users.
Other launchpads remain far behind. BAGS holds 9.28% market share, followed by JUP Studio and Believe at 2.69% and 2.11%, respectively.
Solana’s memecoin race has a new leader.@bonk_fun now holds 66.5% of the market, well ahead of PumpFun at 22%.

As reported, Pump.fun’s native token, PUMP, experienced a notable price setback after its much-hyped ICO.
The initial coin offering raised an impressive $600 million within just 12 minutes, selling 15% of the total 1 trillion PUMP supply to the public.
Additionally, 18% of the tokens were sold privately, valuing the fully diluted market cap at $4 billion.
Last month, Pump.fun executed a significant buyback, transferring nearly 188,000 SOL, worth around $31.3 million, to a dedicated wallet.
The repurchase of PUMP tokens at an average price of $0.0064 pushed the token’s price up by 17% to roughly $0.0067.
The platform has pledged to allocate 25% of its protocol revenues to ongoing buybacks. However, fee revenues for Friday totaled about $968,000, below the protocol’s average.
In a recent update, co-founder Alon Cohen unveiled a “community takeover” feature, allowing users to seize control of “abandoned” projects.
The mechanism aims to channel creator fees toward the most active community members who contribute through raids, content creation, and development.
Pump.fun Makes First Acquisition
Notably, Pump.fun announced its first acquisition last month. The meme coin launchpad purchased Kolscan, a Solana-based wallet tracker that monitors top on-chain traders.
The integration will merge Kolscan’s analytics with Pump.fun’s social trading features, enhancing transparency, wallet tracking, and copy-trading capabilities.
Co-founder Alon Cohen emphasized that trading is a “social sport,” highlighting the importance of community and shared insights in driving success within the ecosystem.
As part of the deal, all Kolscan services will be made free to users.
Pump.fun has already attracted tens of thousands of users and intends to build a scalable crypto social media platform, leveraging Kolscan’s tools to grow its community and influence.
