Data flagged by Lookonchain confirmed 128.22 billion PUMP worth $233 million had been burned earlier in the day, with the platform continuing to buy back and destroy additional supply. <\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_810258\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-810258\" style=\"width:2560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-810258\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Logs showing Pump.fun\u2019s massive $370 million PUMP token burn.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The burns accompany a structural change to how the platform handles revenue. Going forward, 50% of net fees from three core products, namely the Bonding Curve, Pumpswap, and Terminal, will be automatically routed to open-market PUMP purchases and immediate burns via a locked <span>smart contract<\/span> that cannot be reversed or modified. The remaining 50% is allocated to operations and strategic reinvestment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">This marks a shift from Pump.fun\u2019s previous model, under which 100% of platform revenue went toward buybacks. The platform has generated more than $1 billion in lifetime revenue since launching.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Market Response<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">PUMP\u2019s price rose approximately 7% following the announcement while its 24-hour <span>trading volume<\/span> also surged 137.87% to $161 million. Market capitalization also reached $631.68 million against a fully diluted valuation of $1.9 billion.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_810262\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-810262\" style=\"width:1206px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-810262\" src=\"https:\/\/static.news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/pump-fun-burns-370-million-in-pump-tokens-and-locks-50-of-revenue-into-buybacks2_nwmk.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1206\" height=\"692\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/pump-fun-burns-370-million-in-pump-tokens-and-locks-50-of-revenue-into-buybacks2_nwmk-300x172.jpg 300w, https:\/\/static.news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/pump-fun-burns-370-million-in-pump-tokens-and-locks-50-of-revenue-into-buybacks2_nwmk-1024x588.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/static.news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/pump-fun-burns-370-million-in-pump-tokens-and-locks-50-of-revenue-into-buybacks2_nwmk-768x441.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/pump-fun-burns-370-million-in-pump-tokens-and-locks-50-of-revenue-into-buybacks2_nwmk.jpg 1206w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1206px) 100vw, 1206px\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-810262\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">PUMP\u2019s 24-hour chart shows a sharp 7% price surge.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The token remains roughly 84% below its all-time high of $0.01214, reached in July 2025 when Pump.fun\u2019s initial coin <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/solanas-pump-fun-nets-500m-as-pump-token-ico-sells-out-in-12-minutes\/\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">offering (ICO) raised $600 million<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> in just 12 minutes before the token <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/pump-funs-pump-token-peaks-then-plummets-is-the-party-over\/\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">fell sharply below<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> its <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/what-is-a-token-sale\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ICO<\/a> price.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The new buyback-and-burn structure is designed to apply consistent deflationary pressure on supply rather than relying on one-time manual actions, locking the commitment into code and removing it from team discretion. <\/span>By securing a dedicated operational budget alongside this verifiable, trustless burn mechanism, Pump.fun aims to stabilize its market position, fund future development, and ultimately restore investor confidence following its <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/what-is-volatility\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">volatile<\/a> post- <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/what-is-a-token-sale\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ICO<\/a> performance within the broader <a href=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/solana?utm_source=bitcoin_news\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Solana<\/a> ecosystem.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/pump-fun-burns-370-million-pump-tokens-revenue-buyback\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Bitcoin News ) Key Takeaways: Pump.fun burned roughly $370 million in PUMP tokens on Wednesday, cutting circulating supply by 36%.
