- Daily buybacks have ranged from $1.3 million to $2.3 million over the past week, funded by platform-generated revenue.
- The PUMP token has increased by over 12% in the last month and is currently trading at $0.003522, a rise of approximately 54% from its August low.
- Unique PUMP holders have surpassed 70,800, with smaller wallets (<10K PUMP) making up about 46% of the distribution.
- Despite recent challenges from competitors like LetsBonk, Pump.fun regained a dominant market share of approximately 73% in the last week.
