From humble memes to $500 million in revenue, pump.fun is the success story everyone knows about. Fartcoin, AI Rig Complex, Moo Deng—all cryptos that emerged from what has become crypto’s most popular Solana launchpad.
However, pump.fun is in serious—likely terminal—trouble. Its revenue has been consistently plummeting for months, hitting a new single-day low of $791,500—that’s an almost unbelievable 94% slump from the January peak of $15.38 million.
Compounding pump.fun’s woes is the arrival of an innovative, disruptive meme coin launchpad called PepeX, which looks set to cast the former fair launch kingpin into total irrelevance.
How pump.fun became dump.fun
While pump.fun’s revenue decline is dramatic, for anyone familiar with the project, it has been entirely predictable. There are only so many times retail investors can choke down the rug-pull pill before they go cold turkey.
So, with only 0.04% of pump.fun traders making more than $10,000, and 98% of tokens experiencing price manipulation, it’s obvious the system—and the platform’s reputation—is irreparably broken. This is the protocol that allowed the much-loathed Hawk Tuah coin to mint a $500 million market cap before the devs turned holders into exit liquidity in explosive fashion.
A total lack of investor protection means pump.fun now finds itself in an inescapable dead end of obscurity. And PepeX is about to drop a nuke on this fallen giant.
PepeX: A meme coin launch for the people
PepeX is an advanced meme coin launchpad with the investor protection and AI infrastructure to obliterate pump.fun’s already tattered rep.
Thanks to anti-sniping protections, liquidity locks, and transparent bubble maps, pump.fun’s trademark rugs are set to become nothing more than a rotten memory. And these anti-dumping measures are just the start.
PepeX also limits founders to 5% ownership of their own projects. It is the community and the community alone that will determine the fate of new projects—not shady cabals and insider manipulation designed to hoodwink retail into buying doomed, juiced-up tokens. There’s also a $500 minimum deposit to weed out timewasters and professionalize the offering across the platform.
While there is no doubt the $50+ billion meme coin market has been taking a back seat to other segments in recent weeks, a single, compelling fact remains permanent: every single crypto investor—even pragmatic veterans—wants to find the next Dogecoin, and they will always need a platform where that can happen.
Ahead of the next dramatic phase of the meme coin supercycle, PepeX is democratizing fair launches with its buyer protections, and it’s also covering the creation side with a suite of never-before-seen AI tools.
How PepeX is breathing new life into the meme game
PepeX is set to make it easier than ever to launch quality crypto projects. The platform’s AI heartbeat marks the beginning of Text to Meme (TTM). Simply enter a prompt, a ticker, and an image, and PepeX will build you a meme coin to rival the blue chips.
This takes the power away from the elites and allows pretty much anyone to build the next best meme coin from the ground up, with PepeX’s AI delivering the branding, marketing assets, and tokenomics that maximize its chances of success.
This is a fresh start for the meme coin space, and given the transparent model and creative possibilities, it’s little surprise that PepeX’s 24th March presale start date is getting circled in the calendars of the crypto bigwigs.
Running for 90 days and offering 311% gains for the earliest investors, the PEPX token represents a new era for meme coins, and potentially the perfect landing point for pump.fun’s hemorrhaging capital.
Tokens will be available to buy on the pepex.fun website from the 24th of March at 11 am UTC.
