This surge comes amid a rally in the memecoin market cap, which climbed to $83 billion on Sunday—a 30-day high—and remained above $80 billion into Monday, according to <a rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://coinmarketcap.com/invite?ref=B6ERY6NM">CoinMarketCap</a>.

 <p>Data from DeFi aggregator DefiLlama indicates that Pump.fun’s total value locked (TVL)—a key measure of the assets deposited within its smart contracts—kept climbing. On Sunday, its TVL reached $334 million for the first time, signaling strong user engagement. Furthermore, Pump.fun recently outperformed the perpetuals trading platform Hyperliquid in revenue for two consecutive days, ranking third in 24-hour revenue among DeFi protocols, behind only dominant stablecoin projects such as <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://med.etoro.com/B10215_A67747_TClick_Scb-circle.aspx?TargetURL=https://www.etoro.com/markets/crcl">Circle</a> and Tether.</p>

 <p>The platform’s growth is buoyed by its expansion into livestreaming, with Pump.fun recently paying out $4 million in creator rewards, primarily supporting first-time streamers. Founder Alon highlighted that Pump.fun’s livestreaming is now surpassing <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://rumble.com/register/vincenzost/">Rumble</a> in simultaneous streams, and the platform is close to capturing 1% of Twitch’s and 10% of Kick’s market share, according to his statements. While these claims are promising, third-party verification is pending, and official data is limited.</p>
 <p>While Pump.fun continues to grow, the overall memecoin space remains energetic. <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://med.etoro.com/B10215_A67747_TClick_Scb-dogecoin.aspx?TargetURL=https://www.etoro.com/markets/doge">Dogecoin</a> (<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://med.etoro.com/B10215_A67747_TClick_Scb-dogecoin.aspx?TargetURL=https://www.etoro.com/markets/doge">DOGE</a>), despite a delayed US ETF launch, saw its price increase on Friday, gaining about 11% over the past week. Other tokens such as Memecore (M), Moo Deng (MOODENG), and DORA (DORA) also reported double-digit percentage gains, underscoring renewed investor interest in the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.cryptobreaking.com/go/etoro/">crypto</a> markets’ most speculative assets.</p>
 <p>This revitalized momentum highlights how meme-inspired tokens continue to influence the broader <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.cryptobreaking.com/go/etoro/">cryptocurrency</a> landscape, reflecting both retail enthusiasm and expanding sector activity. As the markets evolve, platforms like Pump.fun are positioning themselves at the forefront of this unconventional yet persistent trend in <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.cryptobreaking.com/go/etoro/">crypto</a> innovation.</p>
