Token Lifespan on Pump.fun Reduced to One Day

Analysts from CoinGecko have revealed that approximately 70% of tokens launched on the Pump.fun platform cease trading on the very day they are introduced.

A study reviewing 18.6 million assets created between January 2024 and June 2026 found that 12.8 million, or 68.6%, recorded their final transaction on their launch date. Furthermore, within the first 48 hours, 80% of all newly launched tokens stopped trading, with only 4.5% managing to sustain trading activity for over three months.

This high rate of failure is largely attributed to the platform's low entry barriers, which encourage creators to release a large number of tokens and abandon them quickly if they do not gain immediate popularity.

It's important to note that these figures reflect trading activity solely on Pump.fun's internal algorithm. The actual survival rates might be somewhat better, as this data does not encompass transactions on external decentralized exchanges like Raydium, which only engage about 1% of the projects listed on Pump.fun.

Additionally, since August, there has been a noticeable decline in key metrics for the Pump.fun protocol, including the number of token launches and associated fees.
