PumpSwap Records $2.43 Billion in Cumulative Trading Volume in Just 10 Days Since Its Launch

Since launching on Mar. 20, the platform has generated $5.4 million in protocol fees, attracted 700,000 active wallets, and enabled 30.59 million swaps

In just ten days since its launch, PumpSwap, the decentralized exchange created by Pump.fun, has recorded a cumulative trading volume of $2.43 billion.

For instance, Raydium (RAY) still commanded 74% of the market share as of March 30, while PumpSwap has rapidly gained traction, making up 8% of Solana's (SOL) total DEX trading volume.

The platform was created by Pump.fun to simplify the process of trading memecoins and providing liquidity. Previously, memecoins launched on Pump.fun migrated to Raydium after completing the bonding curve.

However, PumpSwap combines trading, liquidity, and token creation on a single platform, facilitating quick and free migrations. Like Raydium v4 and Uniswap (UNI) v2, the platform uses a constant product automated market maker model and bases pricing on liquidity pools rather than order books.

Instead of a six-SOL migration fee that Pump.fun originally charged for moving tokens to Raydium, PumpSwap features a 0.25% trading fee, with 0.20% allocated to liquidity providers and 0.05% to the protocol. This structure is set to change with the introduction of Creator Revenue Sharing.

The early adoption of PumpSwap was recently furthered by an integration with a major cryptocurrency exchange. On March 25, MEXC announced that PumpSwap would be supported by its DEX+ aggregator.

With over 34 million users in 170 countries, MEXC's users can now readily access tokens on PumpSwap via the MEXC app and website, making it the first aggregator to support the direct trading of PumpSwap-listed tokens. This move is expected to help in drawing in more liquidity and traders to the platform.

As the memecoin frenzy seems to be winding down, Solana's total DEX volume has dropped sharply, from $258 billion in January to just $50 billion in March, according to DefiLlama data. Both Pump.fun and Raydium, now with its LaunchLab incubator, appear to be positioning themselves for a potential market recovery.
