⛏️ The people mining gold don’t necessarily make money; the ones selling shovels make a steady income. When the entire Meme sector is relying on Pump.fun to launch tokens, the PUMP platform token runs on a “toll booth” model.
According to CoinMarketCap and recent news, Pump.fun signed well-known trader Kimchi as a “creative partner” on October 20, and PUMP rose about 9% that day. The platform then added lending markets for PUMP (allowing it to be used as collateral for loans) and announced the fee structure for perpetual futures in collaboration with Hyperliquid. The core narrative is clear: the platform wants to expand from a “token-launching tool” into a closed loop of “trading + leverage + lending.”
My take: “platform tokens” like PUMP are fundamentally different from pure Memes—they’re driven not by meme-fueled sentiment, but by real platform revenue. Pump.fun reportedly still generates around $1 million in revenue per day and continues to buy back tokens (reportedly having bought back about 16% of the supply). That’s what sets it apart from the likes of KIMCHI. But the risks are just as stark: platform revenue is highly dependent on “influencer-driven volatility.” If the token-launching hype fades (for example, if funds flow back to other chains), revenue expectations will fall along with it.
So this is more like a “shovels-selling” business: as long as people are mining (launching tokens/trading), it has cash flow. The question is, if it sells too many shovels and everyone starts mining, will the mine (liquidity) get diluted? That’s the biggest long-term variable for platform tokens.
Would you rather play “platform tokens” that collect tolls, or bet on a single Meme for an explosive run? 🤔
