PumpSwap Volume Skyrockets
Pump.fun’s newly launched decentralized exchange, PumpSwap, has surpassed $1.52 billion in trading volume within just a week of going live. The platform has seen over 14 million swaps, generating $3.03 million in fees, according to Dune Analytics.

CZ Tests for Mev Issues
Binance founder and former CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) did a leveraged trade on APX Finance to test for Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) issues, causing a surge in the price of Mubarak (MUBARAK) and APX (APX).
On March 23, CZ opened a 24.7x leveraged long position on MUBARAK using 0.04 BNB as collateral. Despite his casual remark on X about "doing a little on-chain testing," the trade led to a 26% price spike in APX and a 5.5% increase in MUBARAK within minutes. Zhao has not yet shared any results from his testing on MEV.
Trump’s Truth Social Post
The official Trump meme coin, TRUMP, jumped over 10% to $12.25 after Donald Trump posted an endorsement on Truth Social. The token’s market cap rose 8.3% to $2.37 billion, while trading volume surged by 375.1%, signaling renewed investor interest.

Trump’s March 23 post declared TRUMP the “greatest” token, fueling the price spike. Before the post, the token had struggled around $10, declining over 26% in the past month. However, the rally was short-lived, with TRUMP slipping below $12 after the initial hype faded.

- Meme coins are extremely volatile. Make sure to have a diversified portfolio.
- Consider reinvesting some profits into safer crypto tokens or stables.
