Pump.fun leads Solana protocols in PUMP repurchases

Pump.fun is the leader among Solana projects for its native token buybacks. The team poured in over $205M into PUMP for the past five months. 

Pump.fun continues with its PUMP buybacks, still pouring in most of its fees into decreasing the supply of its native token. 

To date, the team has poured $205M into buybacks, for over 99% of its daily fees. In total, the team bought back 13.86% of the supply, helping PUMP bounce from its lows.

The approach of Pump.fun passes all other Solana projects, which mostly retain their fees. Pump.fun announced the buybacks after months of being targeted for extracting fees outside the Solana ecosystem. A rough estimate saw Pump.fun produce around $1B in fees since inception, mostly coming from its peak altcoin season in the past year. 

Are PUMP buybacks increasing value?

Despite the regular buybacks, PUMP tokens are still hovering close to their lower range. Buybacks practically burn all the fees from meme token generation and trading, but some are skeptical that the value returns to the community. 

PUMP still trades at $0.0027, down by 54.7% in the past three months. Additionally, Pump.fun produces slightly lower fees, and cannot buy enough PUMP to sway the markets. The community has set up criticism that Pump.fun has failed to use its SOL reserves properly, and has sold them for PUMP instead of staking. Even with the buybacks, many PUMP holders are underwater, and do not receive any additional benefits or profit-sharing. 

PUMP open interest is also near an all-time low at $183M, with around 60% in long positions. On Hyperliquid, around 51% of traders are long, with more attempts at betting on another price drop for PUMP. 

The token has also mostly crashed to liquidate long positions, and has not performed a short squeeze. Only 10 Hyperliquid whales have taken positions with the token. 

PUMP reflects the slowing activity of meme trenches

Pump.fun has switched to decentralized trading after its daily fees from new token generation decreased. The DEX has been making up for the difference, but still cannot catch up with the peak revenues during meme season. 

Pump.fun and its PumpSwap DEX still produce $2.7M in daily fees, and are among the top 5 fee producing apps. The daily fees are keeping up with a high baseline, although Pump.fun has slowed down its token production and graduations. 

On Solana, meme token trading has also shifted, making up just 5% of volumes. DEX have switched to trading wrapped assets, stablecoins, and legacy memes. Newly launched memes and older tokens make up around 5% of Solana DEX volumes, down from over 80% during peak times.

UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach

The post UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The UK and US are reportedly preparing to deepen cooperation on digital assets, with Britain looking to copy the Trump administration’s crypto-friendly stance in a bid to boost innovation.  UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent discussed on Tuesday how the two nations could strengthen their coordination on crypto, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.  The discussions also involved representatives from crypto companies, including Coinbase, Circle Internet Group and Ripple, with executives from the Bank of America, Barclays and Citi also attending, according to the report. The agreement was made “last-minute” after crypto advocacy groups urged the UK government on Thursday to adopt a more open stance toward the industry, claiming its cautious approach to the sector has left the country lagging in innovation and policy.  Source: Rachel Reeves Deal to include stablecoins, look to unlock adoption Any deal between the countries is likely to include stablecoins, the Financial Times reported, an area of crypto that US President Donald Trump made a policy priority and in which his family has significant business interests. The Financial Times reported on Monday that UK crypto advocacy groups also slammed the Bank of England’s proposal to limit individual stablecoin holdings to between 10,000 British pounds ($13,650) and 20,000 pounds ($27,300), claiming it would be difficult and expensive to implement. UK banks appear to have slowed adoption too, with around 40% of 2,000 recently surveyed crypto investors saying that their banks had either blocked or delayed a payment to a crypto provider.  Many of these actions have been linked to concerns over volatility, fraud and scams. The UK has made some progress on crypto regulation recently, proposing a framework in May that would see crypto exchanges, dealers, and agents treated similarly to traditional finance firms, with…
