Memecoin Profits Go to Platforms, Not Traders: Shocking New Report

Memecoin Profits Go To Platforms, Not Traders: Shocking New Report
Recent research highlights the lucrative side of the memecoin frenzy within the cryptocurrency ecosystem. While traders often face losses in the highly speculative market, blockchain infrastructure providers—such as launchpads, exchanges, and trading bots—are raking in significant revenues. Platforms like Pump.fun exemplify how memecoins, despite limited utility, continue to dominate trading volumes and generate substantial profits for their facilitators.
  • Memecoin trading largely benefits infrastructure providers, with platforms like Pump.fun capturing millions in revenue.
  • Solana’s Pump.fun has seen a dramatic increase in token launches, nearing 13 million tokens across over 32 million on the network.
  • Short-term trading times for memecoins have plummeted to around 100 seconds, driven by bots and scalpers.
  • Automated trading tools like Axiom, BONKbot, and Trojan have become highly profitable, with Axiom generating over $200 million in fees.
  • Despite their speculative nature, memecoins continue to fuel high-volume trading activity, with recent weekly revenues surpassing $13 million for Pump.fun.

Memecoins have long been a controversial yet influential segment of the cryptocurrency markets, attracting curious investors and meme enthusiasts alike. A new report from Galaxy Research sheds light on how this booming sector is financially rewarding infrastructure providers—more than the traders themselves. While most short-term traders face losses, platforms facilitating memecoin trades have amassed significant revenue streams.

The report highlights Solana’s Pump.fun as a key player, which launched in early 2024. Now representing a combined fully diluted market value of $4.8 billion, tokens on Pump.fun have seen massive adoption, with nearly 13 million launched through the platform—an increase of nearly 300% in less than two years. “The platform has industrialized token creation on Solana,” Galaxy Research notes.

Additionally, the report reports a stark decline in the median holding time for memecoins on Solana—dropping to approximately 100 seconds from 300 seconds the previous year—underscoring the high-speed dominance of trading bots and scalpers in this space.

One prominent trading platform, Axiom, illustrates how memecoin activity translates into profits. The firm has generated over $200 million in fees with fewer than ten employees, mainly through fee collection from memecoin traders. Other tools, such as BONKbot and Trojan, earn revenue by automatically sniping new tokens at the moment of launch, capitalizing on the fast-paced trading environment.

Platform growth remains robust, with Pump.fun’s token launch on July 12 raising an impressive $500 million within minutes, and weekly revenues peaked at over $13 million. Data from DeFiLlama shows that, between August 11 and August 17, Pump.fun generated nearly $13.5 million, marking one of its strongest weeks since its inception.

In September, Pump.fun surpassed $1 billion in trading volume in a single day, with total fees collected over the last month estimated at approximately $120 million. Despite their primarily speculative character, memecoins continue to influence crypto markets significantly, fueling high-volume trading and substantial revenue for platform operators.

As the memecoin craze persists, the industry remains a vivid illustration of how blockchain infrastructure and automated trading tools profit from the speculative side of crypto markets, emphasizing the evolving landscape of crypto trading and platform monetization.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…

Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be

Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be

The post Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers are off to a 2-0 start. Getty Images The Green Bay Packers are, once again, one of the NFL’s better teams. The Cleveland Browns are, once again, one of the league’s doormats. It’s why unbeaten Green Bay (2-0) is a 8-point favorite at winless Cleveland (0-2) Sunday according to betmgm.com. The money line is also Green Bay -500. Most expect this to be a Packers’ rout, and it very well could be. But Green Bay knows taking anyone in this league for granted can prove costly. “I think if you look at their roster, the paper, who they have on that team, what they can do, they got a lot of talent and things can turn around quickly for them,” Packers safety Xavier McKinney said. “We just got to kind of keep that in mind and know we not just walking into something and they just going to lay down. That’s not what they going to do.” The Browns certainly haven’t laid down on defense. Far from. Cleveland is allowing an NFL-best 191.5 yards per game. The Browns gave up 141 yards to Cincinnati in Week 1, including just seven in the second half, but still lost, 17-16. Cleveland has given up an NFL-best 45.5 rushing yards per game and just 2.1 rushing yards per attempt. “The biggest thing is our defensive line is much, much improved over last year and I think we’ve got back to our personality,” defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz said recently. “When we play our best, our D-line leads us there as our engine.” The Browns rank third in the league in passing defense, allowing just 146.0 yards per game. Cleveland has also gone 30 straight games without allowing a 300-yard passer, the longest active streak in the NFL.…
