The post Pump.fun Trader Revitalizes SOL Memecoins with Cashback appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Solana-based memecoin launchpad Pump.fun has launched a new feature by changing its fee model, shifting rewards from token creators to traders. Now, token creators can choose the Trader Cashback model instead of Creator Fees (share from 0.3% fees) before launch; this decision is irreversible. Cashback Coins are generated with every transaction and can only be accessed from Pump.fun’s integrated Terminal platform. Pump.fun announced that this change focuses on traders, noting that many tokens have succeeded without teams. How Does Pump.fun’s Trader Cashback Model Work? In the new model, token creators activate Trader Cashback by forgoing Creator Fees. Cashback Coins generated in every transaction are refunded to traders and can only be withdrawn via Terminal. This encourages memecoin trading by increasing liquidity. Experts say this move will make Pump.fun more competitive in the SOL detailed analysis ecosystem. 75% Drop in Platform Fee Revenue The change comes with a drop in platform fees: $31.8 million in January 2026 (a 75.6% drop from $148.1 million in January 2025), $15.6 million recorded so far in February (DeFiLlama data). According to Dune Analytics, only a few of the 58.7 million wallets profited.
