<a style="text-decoration:none" href="https://bsc.news/post/what-is-pump-fun">Pumpfun</a>, the&nbsp;<a style="text-decoration:none" href="https://bsc.news/post/solana-blockchain-ecosystem-deep-dive">Solana</a>-based token launch platform, is rumored to be developing its own automated market maker (AMM). While no official statement has been made, according to blockchain researcher&nbsp;<a style="text-decoration:none" href="https://x.com/trenchdiver101/status/1893814646718730393">trenchdiver101</a>, Pumpfun is testing its AMM on a private testnet. A new liquidity pool, amm(.)pump(.)fun, has been reportedly spotted under internal testing.&nbsp;
Per reports, on-chain transactions from February 20 show a test token called Snowfall (CRACK) added to a Pumpfun liquidity pool. Interestingly, after trenchdiver’s post, CRACK surged to a peak $5.4 million valuation within an hour, according to DEX Screener.
&nbsp;
If Pumpfun proceeds with this move, it could change how&nbsp;<a style="text-decoration:none" href="https://bsc.news/post/what-are-memecoins-guide-how-they-work-2025">memecoins</a> and microcap tokens trade on Solana, directly challenging Raydium (RAY)—the current leading AMM for Solana-based tokens.
<h2 dir="ltr" id="span-span-what-is-pump-fun-s-amm-and-why-does-it-matter-span-span">What Is Pump.fun’s AMM and Why Does It Matter?</h2>
An automated market maker (AMM) allows users to trade cryptocurrencies directly against liquidity pools rather than traditional order books. Currently, when a memecoin on Pump.fun gains traction, it graduates to Raydium, where trading activity continues.
&nbsp;
<ul>
 <li>However, with an in-house AMM, Pumpfun could:</li>
 <li>Keep liquidity within its own ecosystem</li>
 <li>Capture more trading fees instead of sharing them with Raydium</li>
 <li>Introduce new financial products, such as memecoin perpetuals and lending</li>
</ul>
This shift could drastically reduce Raydium’s trading volume, potentially impacting its token price and market dominance.
<h2 dir="ltr" id="span-span-raydium-s-business-at-risk-span-span">Raydium’s Business at Risk?</h2>
If Pumpfun fully integrates its AMM, it could reduce the need for new tokens to graduate to Raydium. This would allow the platform to control its liquidity pools, extract higher fees, and possibly offer incentives to token holders.
&nbsp;
This shift could significantly impact Raydium's trading volume, with estimates suggesting a 30-50% decline if Pump.fun moves forward. This fear has already hit Raydium’s token price, with RAY&nbsp;<a style="text-decoration:none" href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/raydium/">dropping 30%</a> in 24 hours following the rumors.
&nbsp;
A typical Raydium swap takes a 0.25% fee, but some analysts suggest Pumpfun could charge higher fees, potentially doubling its revenue under current market conditions.
&nbsp;
“Degens are accustomed to paying high fees for trades,”&nbsp;<a style="text-decoration:none" href="https://x.com/zaddycoin/status/1893838805792415992">noted</a> Shoal Research founder Gabriel Tramble. This means traders may not mind the increased costs if the new AMM offers better trading experiences.
&nbsp;
If liquidity starts shifting to Pump.fun’s pools, Raydium may need to adjust fees, add incentives, or innovate to stay competitive.
<h2 dir="ltr" id="span-span-new-features-or-new-risks-span-span">New Features or New Risks?</h2>
Pumpfun’s AMM could introduce new trading features, but it may also come with increased risks.
&nbsp;
Potential Features:
<ul>
 <li>Memecoin perpetuals – Letting traders bet on meme tokens with leverage</li>
 <li>Lending pools – Allowing users to borrow against memecoin holdings</li>
 <li>Custom reward mechanisms – Potentially offering incentives for liquidity providers</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
Potential Risks:
<ul>
 <li>Security concerns – AMMs are frequent targets for smart contract exploits</li>
 <li>Regulatory scrutiny – New financial instruments may attract unwanted attention</li>
 <li>Trust issues – Pumpfun was recently linked to the $1.4 billion Bybit hack, raising concerns about security protocols</li>
</ul>
If Pumpfun does not prioritize security, traders could face rug pulls, flash loan attacks, or liquidity drain risks.
<h2 dir="ltr" id="span-span-why-is-solana-the-battleground-for-memecoin-liquidity-span-span">Why Is Solana the Battleground for Memecoin Liquidity?</h2>
Memecoins dominate Solana’s DeFi sector, with Pumpfun playing a major role in token launches. According to&nbsp;<a style="text-decoration:none" href="https://defillama.com/protocol/pump?groupBy=cumulative">DeFiLlama</a>, Pumpfun has generated over $500 million in swap fees.
&nbsp;
With 1.4% of launched tokens migrating to Raydium, a built-in AMM would allow Pump.fun to retain liquidity and monetize trading volume.
&nbsp;
If Pumpfun succeeds, other Solana DEXs may need to rethink their strategies, including:
<ul>
 <li>Raydium – Potentially reducing swap fees or introducing incentives</li>
 <li>Orca – Adapting to the new memecoin trading landscape</li>
 <li>Drift Protocol – Exploring new products to compete</li>
</ul>

Will Pump.fun Launch Its Own AMM? What Does It Means for the Solana Ecosystem?
