Pump.fun has extended its app beyond Solana to HyperEVM, Hyperliquid’s Ethereum Virtual Machine execution layer, announcing on Aug. 26 that users can trade any HyperEVM token against USDC through the same interface used on its home network. The launchpad said traders can earn callout rewards and trade at near-zero fees, settling in USDC to keep the experience familiar, and claimed to be the first app to bring HyperEVM “to the trenches,” a positioning that has not been independently confirmed. The move adds a major launchpad brand to HyperEVM’s emerging DeFi and memecoin stack after other experiments such as BasedPad, a zero-fee launchpad on Hyperliquid, while Pump.fun remains focused for now on trading existing HyperEVM tokens rather than full token-creation carryover from Solana. Circle’s native USDC and CCTP V2 underpin USDC pairs on the network. As of 10:00 AM UTC on Aug. 27, DeFiLlama showed Hyperliquid with about $1.59 billion TVL, roughly $444 million in 24-hour DEX volume and $8.86 billion in perpetual volume, with stablecoin supply near $6.75 billion, almost 98% USDC. Pump.fun generated $9.23 million in weekly revenue in early August, its highest since March, with cumulative revenue above $1.22 billion; longer-term impact still hinges on liquidity, demand, and unresolved details on rewards funding, fees, and Solana tool carryover.
