Pump.fun is shaking up crypto by merging meme coins with streaming degeneracy, offering creators new ways to earn and engage with audiences. AIOZ Network introduces decentralized streaming with AIOZ Stream.
Pump.fun is becoming the new playground for crypto degens and streamers alike. Let's dive into what's making waves in this bizarre but fascinating intersection of crypto, streaming, and meme culture.
Pump.fun: Where Crypto Meets Streaming Degeneracy
This weekend, Pump.fun witnessed a breakout moment with a token called Bagwork, which skyrocketed to nearly $50 million in market cap in just two days. What set Bagwork apart? They fully embraced streaming degeneracy, pulling stunts that most would never dare to attempt – streaking at football games, getting tattoos at market cap milestones, and even leaking Drake songs. This chaos is what differentiates Pump.fun: a platform where anything goes, and the upside for creators is massive.
Pump.fun seems to know its audience well. The platform provides a stage for a new generation of degen youth who thrive on content like this. The Bagwork team raked in close to $200,000 in creator fees without selling a single token. Pump.fun’s model gives creators a cut of every trade, incentivizing them to keep viewers and traders engaged, generating steady revenue.
Pump.fun Overtakes Hyperliquid in Daily Revenue
Pump.fun's surge is more than just hype; it's showing up in the numbers. On September 16, Pump.fun's daily revenue outpaced popular perpetuals trading platform Hyperliquid, generating $3.38 million in protocol revenue, its highest single-day revenue since February 13. This spike is fueled by fees on new meme coin creations, initial liquidity setups, and subsequent trading volume. Since July, the platform has spent nearly $98 million on buybacks, removing about 6.7% of the circulating supply.
The Rise of New Meme Coins
With Pump.fun leading the meme coin surge, other projects are also gaining attention. MoonBull is building momentum as an Ethereum meme coin designed for traders chasing explosive growth. It’s combining hype, exclusivity, and smart tokenomics. The buzz around MoonBull stems from its whitelist, which gives early supporters access to unique rewards.
AIOZ Network Launches AIOZ Stream
AIOZ Network is also making moves in the streaming space with the launch of AIOZ Stream, a decentralized streaming protocol built on the AIOZ Network. This aims to create a more open, efficient, and equitable social media ecosystem where creators, viewers, developers, and the AIOZ DePIN community participate as stakeholders. AIOZ Stream introduces token‑native economics in which ownership remains with creators; rewards are verifiable on‑chain.
Final Thoughts
Pump.fun is trying to compress the entire growth curve, aiming to pull off in a year or two what Twitch needed ten years to build. Whether Pump.fun becomes the biggest consumer app in crypto or burns out quickly remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: the intersection of crypto and streaming is just getting started. So, buckle up, crypto enthusiasts, because the wild ride has just begun!
