Useless Coin gains 20% as Solana’s meme coin frenzy migrates from Pump.fun to LetsBONK.fun. What’s driving the shift—and which platform is poised to dominate?
Solana’s meme coin mania has entered a new chapter. The days of Pump.fun dominating memecoin launches on Solana appear to be fading. In its place, LetsBONK.fun—a newer, BONK-backed meme coin launchpad—is capturing the lion’s share of attention, developer traction, and fees.

The pivot is significant: LetsBONK.fun has clocked over $1.9 million in daily revenue, more than 4x higher than Pump.fun’s estimated $430K during the same window. Once considered the king of Solana meme token onboarding, Pump.fun now faces stiff competition in terms of both volume and virality.

Useless Coin: A 20% Rally Signals the Power of the New Platform
The clearest beneficiary of this momentum? Useless Coin ($USELESS)—a token that has embraced its irony, and in doing so, found surprising success.
- Price Jump: +20.65% in 24 hours
- Market Cap (FDV): ~$333 million
- 24h Trading Volume: ~$43 million
- New All-Time High: Hit during the late U.S. session
- Cross-Chain Expansion: Announces Chainlink-powered support for Binance Smart Chain (BSC)
While originally launched in the Pump.fun ecosystem, USELESS is now tied deeply to LetsBONK.fun’s infrastructure and community, helping it outperform dozens of similar tokens with much more “serious” branding.
LetsBONK.fun vs. Pump.fun: A Side-by-Side Look
| Feature | Pump.fun | LetsBONK.fun |
|---|---|---|
| Launched | Early 2024 | Mid 2025 |
| Initial Hype | Groundbreaking UI and minting | BONK-powered, community-first |
| Daily Revenue (July 2025) | ~$430K | ~$1.9M+ |
| User Adoption | Slowing | Growing rapidly |
| Token Examples | Dogwifhat, Popcat | Useless Coin, Frent |
| Onboarding Strategy | Direct mint + hype cycle | Community-driven + revenue sharing |
| Cross-chain Support | None yet | Chainlink-enabled (BSC–Solana) |
Why the Shift Matters
- Decentralized Cool Factor: LetsBONK.fun builds on Solana’s most meme-embraced project ($BONK) and offers a slicker experience for creators looking to mint “for the culture.”
- Evolving Token Mechanics: USELESS demonstrates that absurdist humor mixed with strong tokenomics and innovation (like cross-chain integration) can outperform low-effort meme tokens.
- Revenue Traction: Developers and whales follow the money. LetsBONK.fun offering better fee sharing is pulling top creators away from Pump.fun.
- Narrative Overlap: The BONK ecosystem’s PR machine is much louder in 2025—spinning meme assets into storytelling campaigns, a key appeal to Gen-Z and degen investors alike.
What to Watch Next
- USELESS Coin DAO announcement: Could introduce token burns, LP incentives, and reward staking.
- Pump.fun counter-offensive: Rumors suggest they are working on a “v2” platform with Ethereum L2 support.
- BONK ecosystem roadmap: If BONK uses LetsBONK.fun as its Trojan horse into mainstream culture, a wave of meme coins might achieve crossover success.
Conclusion
What started as a battle for minting dominance is now a meme protocol war. And in the middle of it, Useless Coin is proving that in the world of Web3 humor, sometimes being “useless” is the most useful move of all.
With LetsBONK.fun stealing momentum and Useless Coin outperforming expectations, Solana’s meme season is clearly far from over—and a new leaderboard is forming.
