Pumpfun: The Untold Story Behind the Meme Coin Casino and Its Valuation Analysis

Pumpfun is a meme coin issuance platform based on the Solana blockchain. Since its launch in January 2024, it has rapidly attracted the attention of investors and users thanks to its innovative pricing model and decentralized mechanism. It has generated over 1.52 million SOL in total revenue, accounting for 70% of the meme coin issuance on Solana. However, recent token-selling behavior by Pumpfun has sparked market concerns, possibly indicating strategic adjustments or liquidity needs. SecondLane has listed 1% equity of Pumpfun at a $1.5 billion valuation, but a discounted cash flow analysis suggests its fair value is closer to $1 billion, implying a potential overvaluation.

2025 Altcoin ETF Application Progress

As the U.S. government adopts a more open stance toward cryptocurrencies and the regulatory landscape becomes clearer, asset management firms have begun launching exchange-traded funds (ETFs) focused on Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other digital assets. The approval of spot ETFs for Bitcoin and Ethereum has attracted significant institutional capital, accelerating the integration of cryptocurrencies into traditional finance. Looking ahead, ETFs for altcoins such as Solana, XRP, and Litecoin are also likely to gain approval, further expanding the presence of crypto assets in mainstream markets. While ETFs linked to memecoins and NFTs are less likely to receive approval in the near term, their filings reflect a growing diversification within the broader crypto ecosystem.

Lido and Uniswap’s “Liquidity Revival Plan”: UNI Price Bottoming at a DeFi Narrative Turning Point

In April 2025, Lido announced the launch of its Unichain Liquidity Incentive Program, targeting multiple major asset pools to reinforce stETH’s position as the dominant DeFi currency and promote its role as a core asset in cross-chain trading. This move not only extends Lido's dominance in the Ethereum staking market but also offers Uniswap a strategic breakthrough in its Layer 2 ambitions. Meanwhile, the UNI token struggles with low prices, though market signals suggest a potential rebound. Lido’s incentive initiative may trigger a liquidity redistribution across the DeFi ecosystem and spark interest rate wars among lending protocols. Investors should closely monitor the long-term value driven by cross-chain interoperability.
