With Raydium launching a token launch pad called LaunchLab, the Solana ecosystem is likely to continue to grow and grow. This move is expected to restore the weakened dissolved ecosystem at this time.
raydium strike in pump.fun with startup line
Raydium is developing a new platform. LaunchLabcompete with Pump.Fun in Memecoin space. Although specific details have not been officially announced yet, the platform is expected to allow users to create and trade meme coins easily and quickly. It is worth noting that this move by Raydium was revealed at Pump.Fun’s plan to reveal its plans at the exchange rate of meme coins derived from its platform. This suggests that once friendly relations between Raydium and Pump.Fun may be about to end as Pump.Fun attempts to expand its impact on the market and on the Solana blockchain.
However, Raydium is also expanding its services to meet the growing demand for meme coins within the cryptocurrency community. The development of a competitive platform for Pump.Fun can promote greater competition in the Memecoin field, drive innovation and provide users with more choices.
Pump. The juxtaposition friendship between Fun and Raydium is over!
pump.Fun is a platform in Solana that allows users to easily create and launch Memecoins (entertainment, trend-based tokens). When the meme coins on the pump reach a certain market capitalization (usually $69,000), it is automatically transferred to Raydium to create a liquidity pool and officially start trading. Raydium is Solana’s leading diversified exchange (DEX) and automated market makers (AMM). This allows the pump to take advantage of Raydium’s powerful fluidity infrastructure. Meanwhile, Raydium benefits from the transaction volume and fees generated by these new meme coins.

However, this relationship is not completely symbiotic. Raydium relies on Pump.Fun as a source of Memecoins to maintain active deals. The reason is that the Meme Coin boom has greatly increased revenue from both platforms. Instead, pump.fun initially needed rays to provide liquidity, but recent reports suggest pump.fun is being developed Its own amm (tentatively called “ammm.pump.fun”). If this achieves results, pump. Fun can reduce reliance on Reddy, retaining its own liquidity and transaction fees instead of transferring tokens to Raydium as before.

The golden age of pumps.
The partnership between Raydium and Pump.Fun for Solana was established in early 2024. This is one of the most successful “symbiotic” relationships in the history of the cryptocurrency industry and the Solana ecosystem. At that time, the Memecoin boom generated a lot of transaction volume and a lot of revenue from both platforms. according to piecealthough the MEMECOIN division dropped sharply in Memecoin in February and March 2025, Memecoins from Pump.Fun still account for 41% of DEX’s total exchange fee revenue. Raydium’s total revenue in 2024 reached $154 million. Of course, the growth of these two platforms also brought a massive influx of users to the Solana ecosystem, when Solana positioned Solana as a strong contender for Ethereum.

During the peak period between December 2024 and January 2025, pump.fun generated $30-5 million in revenue per day, when the community was anxious to trade meme coins Trump and Melania for $15 million a day. Similarly, Raydium also records the highest income from expenses during this period.
With the growing competition between Raydium and Pump.fun, many people are excited to look forward to what will happen next. More importantly, this competition is attracting more users into the Solana ecosystem. Previously, this Layer 1 blockchain has benefited greatly from the Memecoin wave in 2024, especially with the introduction of the pump. As a result, Solana will further strengthen its position and continue to grow.
