2024 Memecoin Annual Consumption Report

Memecoin has become the biggest hot spot in the Crypto world in 2024. With a market value of $20 billion in 2023 and rapidly rising to over $100 billion in 2024

In 2024, Memecoin once again became the biggest hot spot in the crypto world. With a market value of $20 billion in 2023 and rapidly rising to over $100 billion in 2024, Memecoin not only consolidated its position in the crypto market, but also far outperformed the benchmark index of mainstream cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, becoming the most dazzling asset class of the year.

In this trading boom, a large number of "pay-to-win" players emerged. They paid huge fees in Memecoin transactions, which directly promoted the prosperity of public chains such as Solana, and also made Memecoin infrastructure platforms such as Raydium, Jito, and Pump.fun earn a lot of money.

Recently, ChainCatcher, Memecoin smart trading platform Tesa and Memecoin project Evan the Hobo jointly released the "2024 Memecoin Annual Consumption Report". The report deeply analyzes the consumption data of Memecoin players with transaction amounts exceeding US$1,000 among the approximately 4 million user addresses on the Solana chain in 2024. Starting from the distribution of handling fees, it comprehensively presents the consumption behavior of Memecoin users in this year and the benefits of various platforms.

2. DEX Raydium and other DEXs are the biggest beneficiaries, earning more than $1.7 billion in fees

The more than $3 billion in transaction fees contributed by Memecoin users mainly flow to four major platforms: decentralized exchanges (DEX) such as Raydium, trading BOTs (such as Photon), MEV infrastructure Jito, and one-click coin issuance platform Pump.fun.

Among them, DEXs such as Raydium ranked first with over $1.7 billion in fee income, accounting for 56% of the total, of which Raydium's fee income accounted for 80% of all Dex. Trading BOT ranked second with $750 million, accounting for 24%.

Jito, which provides priority trading (anti-pinch) services, earned $340 million, or 11%, with its exclusive capabilities, while Pump.fun earned $240 million, or 8%, by simplifying the coin issuance process.
