    Just 0.4% of Pump.fun Traders Have Made More Than $10,000 on Solana Meme Coins

    Sometimes it feels like everyone is making money all of the time in crypto, but that’s not the full truth. In fact, just 0.4% of Pump.fun traders have profited $10,000 or more trading on the meme coin platform. Dune data analyst, Adam Tehc, found that only 55,012 wallets of the over 13.4 million on the platform have realized $10,000 in profit or more—that’s just 0.4% of wallets. As for the mythical crypto millionaire, only 294 wallets have realized a profit of more than $1 million, which is appr...

  • What Is Pump.fun? The Solana Meme Coin Factory

    In September 2024, Solana-based protocol Pump.fun became the fastest growing crypto app in history by some metrics, surging to $100 million in revenue in record time. The meme coin launchpad has birthed some of the biggest memes, viral metas, and dangerous moments in crypto history, including a cute dog named Billy, a slew of celebrity tokens, and a developer setting himself on fire. Some have criticized the platform for oversaturating the meme coin market, while others have hailed it as the pri...

    Family of Dead OpenAI Whistleblower Raises $140K in Crypto to Fuel Investigation

    The mother of the late Suchir Balaji, a former OpenAI employee turned whistleblower, has raised over $140,000 worth of cryptocurrency to fuel an independent investigation after she claims her son didn’t die by suicide.  Balaji was found dead in his San Francisco apartment in November, with authorities determining the manner of death to be suicide. However, his mother Poornima Ramarao disputes this conclusion, immediately launching a campaign for a "comprehensive investigation" into her son’s dea...

    Ethereum hero shooter The Machines Arena is coming to new platforms, and will release on leading PC marketplace Steam as well as the PlayStation 5 console. However, due to both platforms having restrictive crypto policies, those versions of the game will have zero or potentially limited crypto features. In its fullest form on PC via the Epic Games Store or direct download, and on Android mobile devices, The Machines Arena runs seasonal play-to-airdrop campaigns where in-game progress leads to pl...

    Call of Duty-Inspired Solana Meme Coin MLG Skyrockets After FaZe Clan Boost

    Do you remember rushing home from school to play Call of Duty all night, screaming abuse to your friends on Xbox Live as you worked your way through a bag of Doritos? One Solana meme coin is bringing back those vibes to an apparently eager audience of traders, resulting in the token skyrocketing in value by 5,200% over just six days. 360noscope420blazeit (MLG) started in April simply as a tokenized representation of the prime years of Call of Duty gaming—before “omnimovement” and overly complex...

    Telegram Game 'Seed' Reveals Sui Airdrop Details Ahead of Mining Phase End

    Popular Telegram crypto game Seed announced this week that it's in the final stretch of gameplay ahead of its token launch, which will likely be followed by its airdrop. And for those looking to maximize their token allocation, all airdrop farming methods will be stopped on January 15. Seed follows in the footsteps of many Telegram mini apps of the past. At its core, it leverages viral mechanics—like referral schemes, and in-game progression for completing social tasks—with an animal collection...

    Ethereum Game 'Illuvium' Reveals AI Agent Plans via Surging Virtuals Protocol

    Ethereum game franchise Illuvium is set to leverage the viral AI agent Virtuals Protocol to enhance its non-playable characters, or NPCs. This comes after Virtuals has surged in popularity in recent weeks after it lowered the barrier for AI agent creation, leading to the creation of some of Crypto Twitter’s favorite new characters. The Virtuals Protocol straps AI agents with its proprietary G.A.M.E large language model framework to power AI agents. AiXBT (AIXBT) is the most popular of all its cr...

    Solana Layer-2 Sonic SVM Launching Token Tuesday With Airdrop for TikTok Gamers

    Sonic SVM, a layer-2 gaming chain built on top of Solana, has confirmed that its token generation event will take place on Tuesday. Alongside this, players of its TikTok-based tap-to-earn game will receive airdropped tokens for their in-app progress. Tap-to-earn games rose to popularity in 2024, mostly built on messaging app Telegram with related tokens primarily launching on The Open Network (TON). A huge driver of this attention came from games like Notcoin and Hamster Kombat promising that in...

    Pump.fun Responsible for 70% of Token Launches on Solana Network

    Token launchpad Pump.fun has been responsible for approximately 70% of all transactions on the Solana network over the past two days. Its Saturday dominance is the highest since the platform disabled its controversial streaming feature in November. Over the past week, Solana (SOL) has climbed 12%. The upward trajectory has, in part, been motivated by its meme coin trenches. Pump.fun is the go-to spot for most meme coin creating, buying, and selling with over 5.5 million tokens being created on t...

    Man Dies by Suicide After Being Convicted of ‘Rug Pull,’ Family Says

    Berman Jerry Nowlin has died by an apparent suicide as he awaited sentencing for his part in an NFT "rug pull" involving wire fraud and money laundering, his family told the Tampa Bay Times.  In November 2024, a U.S. court found the 21-year-old guilty of helping orchestrate the sale of a NFT “rug pull” worth $400,000. Nowlin, alongside the 25-year-old Devin Alan Rhoden, carried out the sale of two Solana NFT collections before cancelling a third collection. The Department of Justice report expla...

    Crypto's Latest Meta? AI Agent Tokens Like AI16z and Virtuals Skyrocket

    AI agents, associated meme coins, and the protocols used to create these agents are among the top five best performing crypto assets of the day, according to CoinGecko. The recent surge is driving speculation that AI will be the latest “meta” for crypto traders to latch onto, though some traders and analysts aren’t yet convinced. As a result, conversations have broken out across the industry about the role of artificial intelligence in the world of crypto. Some traders believe it's the start of...

    Dogecoin Hero Elon Musk Just Crashed Another Meme Coin—Here's How

    The Elon Musk effect goes both ways. Ethereum meme coin Kekius Maximus (KEKIUS) soared over 3,000% from a $12.7 million market cap to nearly $400 million, in the 30 hours following Tesla CEO Elon Musk changing his Twitter name to Kekius Maximus. But what comes up must come down. Once Musk changed his profile back to normal, it caused the token to plummet 67% in an hour to $95 million. Kekius Maximus, according to the meme coin’s website, is also known as “Pepe the Frog Emperor.” The art depicts...

But we’re an optimistic bunch, and we think 2025 could be even better. That’s the vibe we’re getting from the early batch of games expected to launch this year, spanning sequels and original titles alike, ranging from Grand Theft Auto 6 to (potentially) Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet and plenty more in between.

    The 7 Wildest Meme Coin Livestreams on Pump.fun in 2024

    Livestreaming with an attached meme coin was popularized this year after a mom promised sexual acts if her apparent son’s meme coin, called LiveMom, hit specific market caps.  Despite promising to pour milk over her “36DDs,” the same ones her son allegedly “actually suckled on,” the pair ghosted with nothing really crazy going down. But clearly, some degens saw the viral sensation this became and tried to capitalize on it. Quickly, a flurry of copycat tokens launched, including LiveSis, countles...

    GG’s 2024 Game of the Year: Off the Grid

    Off the Grid has only been available for a couple months, but it's by far the best crypto game of the year—and it’s not even really close. If we're talking pure numbers, then Hamster Kombat blew most games out of the water by racking up 300 million players this summer. But the monotonous tap-to-earn mini app ultimately felt like a financialized gimmick thinly veiled as a game, and the resulting airdrop hardly justified the hype. As for Off the Grid, the game impressed both Web2 and Web3-native g...
