What happened
The token moved between a low of $0.005216 and a high of $0.006461 over 24 hours on CoinGecko. Over seven days it is up 44%, and over 30 days it is up 41%.
It still trades 29% below its record of $0.00882, set on Sept. 14, 2025. Its market value stands at $2.91 billion, with $344.9 million traded across markets in 24 hours.
Why it moved
The cause of the move is not confirmed. The rise came in two legs. On Binance’s PUMP/USDT pair, the token gained 7.8% from 19:00 UTC Friday to 16:00 UTC Saturday, then another 8.7% in less than four hours.
The wider market was calm. Bitcoin ($BTC) rose 0.8% and Ethereum ($ETH) 0.6% over 24 hours, per LiveCoinWatch. Solana ($SOL) gained 1.4% on CoinGecko.
Who’s buying and selling
Buyers set the pace in the token’s largest pool. The PumpSwap PUMP/USDC pool logged 9,283 buys and 5,643 sells in 24 hours, per DexScreener. GeckoTerminal showed a close match, with 9,287 buys against 5,612 sells.
That pool held $28.7 million in liquidity. The platform kept earning, too. DefiLlama puts Pump.fun’s revenue at $1.71 million for the past 24 hours and $11.66 million for seven days.
What to watch next
The 24-hour high of $0.006461 sits about 3% above the latest price in CoinGecko data. The record of $0.00882 is a much bigger step away.
The buy and sell count in the PumpSwap pool is the second thing to watch. It leaned toward buyers over the past 24 hours. Weekly revenue on DefiLlama will show whether use of the platform keeps pace with the token.
Bottom line: The Pump.fun token is up 17.3% in a day as buyers lead its main pool, though no single cause is confirmed.
