Solana’s PumpFun Hits $3M in Daily Revenue, Flips Hyperliquid

TheCryptoTimesPublished on 2025-09-15Last updated on 2025-09-15

The Solana-based memecoin platform PumpFun is once again gaining traction, hitting $3 million in daily revenue for the first time since February. With this, it has flipped one of the most popular crypto perpetuals trading platform Hyperliquid. 

The surge in PumpFun’s revenue comes amid renewed interest in memecoin trading. Besides, PumpFun’s recently launched token buyback program is also driving huge activity back to the platform. 

As per DeFillama data, PumpFun generated $3.12 million in the past 24 hours, making it the third largest revenue generating crypto platform after Tether and Circle. It has surpassed Hyperliquid, which has constantly been making headlines since the past few months.

Third-largest protocol by revenue generation

PumpFun’s daily revenue peaked at $7.07 million on January 23, when memecoins were at the center of attention within the crypto industry. The platform has so far generated $807.8 million in cumulative revenue since its launch in January 2024. 

Positioned third after stablecoin issuers Tether (USDT) and Circle (USDC), generating over $21.7 million and $7.62 million in revenue, respectively. PumpFun has been constantly dominating this list among hundreds of crypto platforms. Its most of the revenue comes from the fees paid by users for trading and launching tokens fees.

Grayscale Reassesses Zcash: In the Era of AI Surveillance, What is Financial Privacy Worth?

Grayscale Research reevaluates Zcash (ZEC) in the context of AI-powered financial surveillance. The report posits that stablecoins, transparent blockchains, and AI analytics tools are increasing the traceability of digital finance, potentially reigniting mainstream demand for financial privacy as a core monetary attribute. While AI could drive a third wave of privacy concern, Zcash's investment thesis hinges on whether this theoretical demand translates into sustained adoption. Zcash, operational for nearly a decade, uses zero-knowledge proofs to offer users a choice between transparent and shielded transactions, placing control of information disclosure back in users' hands. Recent infrastructure improvements—like wallet enhancements, mining pool expansions, and protocol upgrades—have reduced usability barriers. On-chain data shows shielded transactions comprise ~90% of transaction count, with ~25% of circulating ZEC in shielded pools, indicating existing use. However, significant risks remain. These include regulatory hurdles for exchanges and custodians dealing with shielded assets, past protocol vulnerabilities (theoretical, now patched), long-term quantum computing threats, and execution risks for future scalability upgrades. Grayscale's analysis suggests ZEC's current low market share (~0.6% of the "digital currency" crypto sector) offers valuation upside *if* the market reprices privacy. A scenario analysis notes that capturing 5% of this sector could imply a ~9x valuation increase, though this is a simplified sensitivity test, not a price target. Ultimately, Zcash's opportunity lies in the unresolved question: in an AI-monitored era, what price will the market assign to financial privacy? Validating the thesis requires monitoring growth in real shielded usage, wallet usability, upgrade timelines, and regulatory accessibility, not just price appreciation.

AI Democratizes Hacking, Bitcoin Red Team White Hats Race in Speed-Based Attack-Defense Contest

AI is democratizing powerful hacking tools, putting them in the hands of those with little cybersecurity expertise. Cryptocurrency developers are now in a race to find system vulnerabilities before attackers do. The Bitcoin Red Team, a group of 20-25 volunteers including anonymous developers like Calle, has formed to urgently address these AI-augmented security threats within the Bitcoin ecosystem. Calle emphasizes that while the Bitcoin core protocol itself is secure, the real risk lies in the wallets, applications, services, and other third-party software built on top of it—the software most users interact with. Incidents like the Coldcard wallet hack and the emergence of powerful Chinese AI models have accelerated their proactive security auditing efforts. The team both accepts audit requests from Bitcoin projects and proactively scans major open-source projects. They report found vulnerabilities to developers and refine their classification standards. Notably, Calle states the team frequently uses Chinese AI models over US counterparts, as the latter's strict safety guardrails often block cybersecurity research tasks, hindering their utility for finding or fixing vulnerabilities. Calle warns that AI is erasing the information asymmetry that previously protected some vulnerabilities. It lowers the technical barrier, allowing non-experts to exploit simple flaws. He describes the current state of Bitcoin software as "on fire" and believes the direct financial incentive of cryptocurrency makes it a first target in this industry-wide shift, with other sectors to follow. The era of security through obscurity is over.
