You wake up, pour yourself a cup of coffee, open your newsfeed, and suddenly, PumpSwap just dropped a $3.45 billion bombshell on the dex sector.
On April 20, 2025, PumpSwap clocked a daily trading volume that would make even the most seasoned crypto sharks spit out their espresso.
If you’re Raydium, the reigning Solana DEX boss, you’re probably sweating bullets right now.
Fun
PumpSwap, cooked up by the Pump.fun crew, is rewriting the rules of the game. In just 24 hours, this upstart raked in $3.456 billion in trades, snatching an 18.2% chunk of the Solana DEX pie.
That’s not a typo. Raydium’s still got the top spot, but now it’s got a real contender breathing down its neck.
And get this, over 200,000 wallets were hustling on PumpSwap in a single day. That’s enough action to fill Yankee Stadium twice over.
Users coughed up nearly $948,000 in transaction fees, lining pockets and keeping the wheels greased for both traders and the devs behind the curtain.
Not too shabby for a platform that, just weeks ago, was the new kid getting shoved into lockers.
Pump
What’s the secret sauce? To be honest, PumpSwap’s got a slick setup, tokens launched on Pump.fun can slide right into PumpSwap, no more coughing up a six SOL migration fee to Raydium and waiting.
Now, it’s smooth, instant, and, dare I say, almost enjoyable. That’s the kind of innovation that makes the old guard nervous.
Of course, the big crypto dons are keeping their lips zipped, no public beef, no praise. But the message is loud and clear, PumpSwap’s not just here to play, it’s here to muscle in on the territory.
There’s even talk of a future revenue-sharing model, which could make token creators and holders even hungrier to jump ship.
SOL
Meanwhile, Solana itself is doing the cha-cha, up, down, sideways. As of now, in the time of writing, SOL is trading at $137, with a market cap just shy of $71 billion, but the coin’s still licking its wounds from an 18% drop over the last two months.
The mainstream’s still watching, analysts are still arguing, and the only thing moving faster than the prices are the hot takes.
Either way, PumpSwap’s rise is like watching a scrappy underdog storm into the casino and start winning big while the house looks on in disbelief.
It’s a wake-up call for the Solana DeFi sector, and if Raydium thought it could nap on the throne, it better think again.
