PUMP Rallies 30% on Volume Surge as Trend Reversal Remains Unclear

Reported 2025 buybacks funded by protocol revenue have tightened token supply.

Overview

  • PUMP trades near $0.00249 after a seven‑day gain of about 30%, still roughly 71% below its September peak and down 17% on the month.
  • Spot volume rose to about $182 million in 24 hours (+30%), futures volume reached roughly $101 million, and open interest edged to $64 million, pointing to participation rather than heavy leverage.
  • Dune data shows Pump.fun on‑chain activity spiking with daily trading volume around $116 million on Dec. 6, daily active addresses at 135,242, and 24‑hour protocol revenue at $2.67 million.
  • Pump.fun reportedly generated just under $1 billion in 2025 revenue and used a little over $200 million for PUMP buybacks, removing about 10% of the token supply.
  • Technical readings describe a relief bounce with price testing the 20‑day moving average and a broader bearish structure intact, as potential legal exposure near $500 million and rug‑pull criticism weigh on sentiment.
