TRUMP Meme Coin Goes Full Speed Ahead to Tron

Solana meme coin launchpad Pump.fun has lost a significant chunk of its market 
share to LetsBonk.fun. This comes just ahead of the former’s token generation 
event, in which the launchpad could raise up to $4 billion. Solana’s Pump.fun 
Loses Dominance To LetsBonk.fun In an X post, Solana News revealed that 
Pump.fun has hit a new all-time low with just a 36% market share, while 
LetsBonk.fun’s market share has surged to 54%. Jup data also confirms this 
development. At press time, LetsBonk boasts a market share of 48.90%, with a 
24-hour trading volume of $539 million. On the other hand, Pump boasts a 
market share of 39.80%, with a 24-hour trading volume of $438 million. Related

ETFs Go Live This development comes amid Pump.fun’s proposed public token 
sale, scheduled for July 12. Well-known Solana influencer Lynk has described 
this token sale as the “final scam” for the meme coin launchpad. The platform 
has been under heavy criticism for the amount of money that it has extracted 
from the Solana ecosystem, without incentivizing community members in any way. 
Some community members had expected Pump.fun to airdrop its token to rewards 
platform users instead of conducting a public token sale. Lynk shared details 
of the public sale, with the meme coin launchpad planning to sell the ‘PUMP’ 
tokens $0.004 each. The token boasts a total supply of 1 trillion, meaning a 
fully diluted value (FDV) of $4 billion. However, Pump.fun plans to raise 
around $600 million from the public token sale, as only $150 billion tokens 
will be available. The meme coin launchpad is expected to also conduct a 
private sale in order to complete its $1 billion capital raise effort, as 
earlier reported. LetsBonk.fun To Keep Dominating Pump.fun In an X post, 
crypto influencer Unipcs, also known as ‘Bonk Guy,’ opined that Pump.fun isn’t 
done, but that LetsBonk.fun will likely continue to be the industry leader. He 
predicts that this will be the case for the foreseeable future. He outlined 
several reasons why he believes this would be the case. Related Reading:

Firstly, he stated that LetsBonk’s pro-creator, pro-people, pro-Solana 
ecosystem alignment is a massive strength over Pump.fun. Secondly, Bonk Guy 
remarked that the strong culture of support within the BONK ecosystem is 
incredibly hard to replicate by any other platform in a short period. 
Furthermore, the crypto influencer remarked that Pump.fun had a lot of 
momentum as a tokenless protocol, especially with a token generation event 
(TGE). However, LetsBonk.fun was able to flip the platform during this period. 
As such, Bonk Guy believes that it is hard to see Pump.fun sustainably recover 
the kind of market share it once had after the TGE event. He also suggested 
that a “non-negligible amount of activity on Pump.fun is inorganic with a lot 
os users farming on the platform, hoping that there was going to be an 
airdrop. As such, the influencer believes that the traffic will dry up once 
the TGE is over. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com

Solana’s Pump.Fun Loses Steam With Exit Scam Rumors, LetsBonk.Fun Claims 54% Of Total Market Share

Meme coin TRUMP made waves when it launched on Solana on January 17, 2025, 
issuing 200 million tokens out of a planned supply of 1 billion. Related

trading data, its price shot from under $10 to a whopping $80 within hours, 
pushing its fully diluted valuation to nearly $75 billion. But by July 2025, 
TRUMP had tumbled back to $8.60, a 90% drop from its peak. Its circulating 
market cap now sits around $1.70 billion, with a fully diluted value of about 
$8.60 billion. Cross Chain Push Into Tron Based on reports from the project’s 
official X account, TRUMP plans its first expansion beyond Solana by launching 
on the Tron blockchain. This move is designed to tap Tron’s large user base 
and faster transaction speeds. Tron boasts over 100 million accounts and 
sub‑second confirmations, which the TRUMP team believes could fuel a fresh 
wave of buyers and traders. $TRUMP on #TRON is coming. Stay tuned!

Price Swings Define TRUMP TRUMP’s rollercoaster debut underlines extreme 
volatility. After the initial frenzy in January, the coin’s price plummeted by 
88% from $80 to $8.60. That slide erased roughly $65 billion in valuation. 
Today’s price reflects speculative trading rather than any long‑term adoption. 
Investors who rode the peak saw massive gains briefly, then steep losses just 
as quickly. Justin Sun’s Big Stake On May 20, 2025, Tron founder Justin Sun 
tweeted that he is TRUMP’s largest holder. He reportedly owns nearly $19 
million worth of tokens after a $75 million investment in Trump’s World 
Liberty Financial platform. Sun’s position comes with perks. He won a “private 
dinner” alongside the top 220 token holders, securing a seat at US President 
Donald Trump’s Virginia golf club. Critics say that kind of setup blurs the 
line between crypto hype and pay‑to‑play politics. Related Reading: XRP Could

Raises Warnings Two Trump‑affiliated companies, CIC Digital LLC and Fight 
Fight Fight LLC, control 80% of TRUMP’s token supply. Those tokens are locked 
under a three‑year vesting schedule. Analysts warn that when insiders hold 
such large shares, they can sway prices at will. That level of centralization 
runs counter to crypto’s promise of open and fair systems. Senators Richard 
Blumenthal, Elizabeth Warren, and Jeff Merkley have called for new rules to 
curb how politicians and their allies can launch or endorse digital coins. 
They argue that projects like TRUMP could be used for personal gain or 
campaign boosts, creating a need for clearer boundaries. Traders And 
Regulators Brace For Tron Launch As TRUMP eyes a Tron debut, traders and 
regulators alike will watch closely. The move could spark a fresh surge in 
trading volume. Yet the same factors that drove its initial spike—viral hype, 
insider perks, and a heavy token concentration—could just as easily lead to 
another steep plunge. Featured image from Bankless Times, chart from
