Solana News Today: MEXC and Pump Fun Simplify Meme Coin Access for 40 Million Global Traders

MEXC has announced a renewed partnership with pump fun, a Solana-based token issuance platform, to launch weekly memecoin listings through its Meme+ Trading Zone. The collaboration, which follows an earlier integration of pump fun with MEXC’s DEX+ platform, aims to streamline the process for users to access trending on-chain memecoins. The first listing, the TBCN/USDT trading pair, is scheduled for September 8, 2025, at 14:00 UTC. This initiative is part of MEXC’s broader strategy to expand the Meme+ ecosystem and provide users with easier access to the fast-evolving memecoin market.

Under the partnership, MEXC will feature weekly pump fun recommendations, simplify on-chain participation by allowing trades directly on its platform, and enhance market diversity by introducing new opportunities for traders. Tracy Jin, COO of MEXC, emphasized the shared vision of driving innovation and empowering users through the integration of pump fun’s grassroots token innovation with MEXC’s global exchange infrastructure. Alon Cohen, COO of pump fun, noted that this partnership will support core communities within the pump fun ecosystem, with one new coin listed each week starting this month.

The partnership also benefits pump fun, which has launched over 11 million tokens since its inception on Solana. It has generated over $750 million in protocol revenue, establishing itself as a leading crypto launchpad. MEXC’s collaboration with pump fun is expected to further accelerate the growth of promising projects by providing visibility and exchange listings that were previously challenging for smaller communities to access.

Meanwhile, pump fun’s native token PUMP has shown recent market volatility, with a 24-hour trading range between $0.003101 and $0.003262 as of August 24, 2025. The token’s 24-hour trading volume stands at $21.06 million, with a fully diluted market cap of $3.18 billion. Despite a 7-day decline of 8.05%, the token has posted a 60-day and 90-day increase of 217.90%, indicating long-term growth potential. PUMP’s tokenomics include a total supply of 1 trillion tokens, with no circulating supply reported.

Solana has become a key blockchain for meme coin innovation, hosting thousands of new tokens daily. Meme coin generators like Pump and CoinFactory have facilitated the creation and virality of these tokens. The Solana ecosystem is particularly attractive due to its low transaction fees and high-speed transactions, making it ideal for high-frequency trading of meme coins. Jupiter and Raydium, two leading decentralized exchanges on Solana, offer users the tools to trade newly listed tokens with high liquidity and minimal costs.

MEXC’s strategic move reflects the broader trend of exchanges integrating with on-chain platforms to capitalize on the growing demand for meme coins. With pump fun’s user-friendly launchpad and MEXC’s robust infrastructure, the collaboration is expected to simplify entry for traders seeking exposure to the dynamic and fast-moving memecoin market. This development is likely to boost pump fun’s visibility and adoption, as MEXC’s user base of over 40 million across 170+ countries gains access to curated, trending projects.
