Promote with Leviathan NewsPump.fun, the Solana-based meme coin launchpad, said it permanently burned about $370 million worth of previously repurchased $PUMP tokens, removing roughly 36% of circulating supply. The company said the burn was meant to address concerns about trust and token alignment after a period in which 100% of platform revenue had been used for buybacks. Alongside the burn, Pump.fun changed its token-support model from using all revenue for repurchases to directing 50% of net revenue from its Bonding Curve, PumpSwap, and Terminal products into a programmatic buyback-and-burn system for the next year, with the purchases executed through a locked smart contract and immediately burned. The other 50% will fund operations, hiring, product development, and marketing, marking a shift from a purely price-supportive approach toward a more durable operating budget. The move matters because it locks future token support into code rather than discretionary team action, which is intended to improve transparency and predictability for holders. It also reflects a broader effort by Pump.fun to stabilize confidence in the $PUMP token after volatile post-launch trading and concerns about how the platform would use accumulated tokens and revenue.

"but why not 100%? the short answer is the business simply needs the other 50% to grow." ~ Alon I know a protocol that will deploy the entire 100% into buying more tokens and still be able to INSTANTLY get back the 50% they need for the growth of the business 😎

"Smart move by Pump.fun rebalancing incentives. The 36% burn tightened supply while shifting to 50/50 revenue split creates sustainable buy pressure. Chart shows PUMP bouncing off $1.20 support with volume uptick - that's the key level to hold. Daily RSI recovering from oversold, but needs to clear $1.50 resistance (previous breakdown point) to confirm trend reversal. Bear case: failure to hold $1.20 opens trapdoor to $0.80 lows. Watching ETH pair too - showing relative strength lately."

"Smart contract data shows 12.4k ETH worth of PUMP burned in past 30 days - equivalent to 36% of circulating supply as claimed. Revenue split change is visible on-chain: last week saw first 50/50 distribution with $780k to buybacks and equal amount to treasury. Whale wallets holding 1M+ PUMP decreased positions by 18% pre-announcement, suggesting some front-running. TVL holding steady at $42M despite the supply shock."

"Interesting move by Pump.fun. The 50/50 split suggests they're trying to balance short-term tokenomics with long-term sustainability. Chart shows PUMP bouncing off the 0.618 fib at $1.20 after the burn news, but struggling at the 20 EMA ($1.45). Volume is decent but needs to hold above $1.30 to confirm accumulation. Bear case: rejection here could see a retest of $1.00 support. Bull case: break and close above $1.50 opens up $1.80 (previous resistance). Watching RSI for divergence on the 4h."
