Pump.fun burned approximately $370 million worth of PUMP tokens on April 29, reducing circulating supply by 36%, and committed 50% of all net platform revenue to an irreversible smart contract that will continue buying back and burning PUMP for the next 12 months.
The burns accompany a structural change to how the platform handles revenue. Going forward, 50% of net fees from three core products—Bonding Curve, Pumpswap, and Terminal—will be automatically routed to open-market PUMP purchases and immediate burns via a locked smart contract that cannot be reversed or modified. The remaining 50% will be allocated to operations and strategic reinvestment.
This marks a shift from Pump.fun’s previous model, under which 100% of platform revenue went toward buybacks. The platform has generated more than $1 billion in lifetime revenue since launching.
Following the announcement, PUMP’s price rose approximately 7%. Its 24-hour trading volume also surged 137.87% to $161 million. Market capitalization reached $631.68 million against a fully diluted valuation of $1.9 billion.
PUMP remains roughly 84% below its all-time high of $0.01214, reached in July 2025, when Pump.fun’s initial coin offering raised $600 million in 12 minutes before the token fell sharply below its ICO price.
The new buyback-and-burn structure is designed to apply consistent deflationary pressure on supply rather than relying on one-time manual actions. By locking the commitment into code and removing it from team discretion, Pump.fun aims to secure a dedicated operational budget alongside a verifiable, trustless burn mechanism. The stated goal is to stabilize its market position, fund future development, and restore investor confidence following its volatile post-ICO performance within the broader Solana ecosystem.

Long-term memberships are shrinking, margins are pressured by higher rents and facility expenses, and competition from smaller, more personalized…
