➥ Is $PUMP slowly moving away from $SOL?
Starting May 21, @Pumpfun will allow creators to choose either SOL or USDC as the quote asset when memecoins graduate from bonding curve → PumpSwap.
That changes a lot more than people think.
Impact on $SOL:
– Less SOL locked into LPs
– Lower artificial TVL growth from memecoin launches
– Reduced demand for SOL liquidity provisioning
– USDC pairs may absorb a large part of future volume
For months, memecoin graduations were quietly creating constant buy + lock pressure for SOL.
Now that dynamic weakens.
Impact on $PUMP:
– More flexibility for creators
– USDC pairs are easier for long-term holders
– Potentially higher trading volume on PumpSwap
– Revenue still flows back to the ecosystem
– Stronger long-term positioning beyond SOL dependency
I actually think this upgrade is more bullish for $PUMP than for $SOL.
https://t.co/k3MFu0Xkfw is starting to position itself more like a standalone trading infrastructure layer rather than just a Solana memecoin app.
