$PUMP is up 91% on the week and the reason is boring on purpose.

Roughly half of every fee the protocol collects gets routed into automated buybacks and burns. That turns raw activity into direct buy pressure and permanent supply reduction, with no narrative required.

The numbers behind the move: 11.52M in seven day revenue, fourth highest of any protocol globally. On August 22, a third consecutive day above 1M in buybacks, on daily revenue near 1.36M.

The stress test already happened. On August 12 the protocol unlocked 6.875 billion tokens split between the team and early investors. Price barely moved that day and still finished the week higher. A supply event that size only gets absorbed when there is a structural bid sitting underneath it.

The chart says the same thing. Strong low held at 0.0027, then price ran 0.003 to 0.0053 in three sessions without a single daily close back below.

What to actually watch: revenue is the only input here. If weekly fees fall, the buyback shrinks and the bid goes with it. This is not a narrative trade, it is a cash flow trade.
