pump.fun fees hit a record $175.0M in October 2026
pump.fun's products took a record $175.0 million in fees in October 2026, according to DefiLlama, up from $157.7 million in September and $66.2 million in June. PumpSwap accounted for $107.0 million and pump.fun's bonding curve and website for $61.9 million; DefiLlama counts $29.0 million of October revenue as spent on PUMP buybacks.
The numbers
DefiLlama adds up the fees paid on pump.fun’s bonding curve and website, its PumpSwap exchange, its Terminal trading app and its mobile app. October 2026 was the highest month on record, ahead of the previous peak of $149.8 million in January 2025.
| Month (2026) | Fees, all pump.fun products |
|---|---|
| June | $66.2M |
| July | $84.7M |
| August | $139.7M |
| September | $157.7M |
| October | $175.0M |
October by product: PumpSwap $107.0M, pump.fun (bonding curve plus web-app Platform Fee) $61.9M, Terminal $4.4M and the mobile app $1.6M. The 0.45% app Platform Fee started on 17 October, so it counts for only half the month (our story).
Fees are not pump.fun’s income
Fees are what traders paid in total. Much of that goes to coin creators and liquidity providers, not pump.fun. DefiLlama puts the group’s October revenue at $62.4 million and holders revenue, the share used to buy back the PUMP token, at $29.0 million. pump.fun’s own PUMP page gives a different buyback total than DefiLlama and says its dashboard has been inaccurate since custom-pair coins arrived; see the PUMP token and its buybacks.
What it does not tell you
Record platform fees say nothing about how any single coin will do. Most memecoins lose most of their value, and high activity also brings more rugs and copycat coins: check a coin before you buy. DefiLlama can revise its figures; live numbers are on our data pages.
How we verify: every entry is checked against a primary source (pump.fun's Fees page, Terms or posts, read through Internet Archive copies; a court filing; or the project's own announcement), chain data, or at least two independent reputable outlets before it is published.
