What else is known? If successfully implemented, DEX from Pump. fun will allow the platform to charge more fees and compete with Raydium, which is currently the largest DEX on Solana.

Meme tokens account for a significant share of the total trading volume on decentralized exchange markets, and the figure is growing over time. According to the analytics platform DeFiLlama, total trading fees on Pump. fun has already exceeded $500 million.

Currently, about 1,4% of tokens launched on Pump.fun starts trading on Raydium. This means that an in-house AMM could help keep more liquidity in the Pump.fun ecosystem.

Members of the crypto community believe that a successful launch could lead to additional features and products such as lending and perpetual meme token futures.

Analysts estimate that Raydium’s trading volume could drop by 30-50% if DEX Pump.fun is successfully launched. According to data from aggregator CoinGecko, the native token of Raydium (RAY) has already lost 30% over the past 24 hours amid the news, falling to $2,95, its lowest since October 2024.
