Traders are calling the move a sign the trenches are back, and DefiLlama shows Pump.fun volume at $5.33 billion in weekly DEX volume and $18.22 billion over 30 days.<\/p>\n<p>July 4 was the first day Pump.fun and PumpSwap crossed $1 billion in daily volume since April 8, and the week of June 29 to July 5 was the first above $5 billion since late March.<\/p>\n<p>On July 1, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/solana\/\">Solana's<\/a> memecoin factory hit its highest daily numbers for token launches and graduations in 80 days, driven largely by <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/the-black-bull\/\">ANSEM<\/a>.

They're fast, social, and permissionless, turning attention itself into a tradable asset.<\/p>\n<p>The trenches only become a problem when the trading game becomes fast and asymmetric enough that ordinary users end up supplying exit liquidity for the fastest players. That's the tension ANSEM's rally reopens: the same mechanics that bring users in let a small group extract value from everyone who arrives late.<\/p>\n<h2>Speed cuts both ways<\/h2>\n<p>Galaxy's data shows that the median memecoin holding time is now <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galaxy.com\/insights\/research\/memecoins-pump-fun-solana-kols\">around 100 seconds<\/a>, down from roughly 300 seconds. Snipers and bundlers capture large portions of a token's supply in its first moments, then sell it once real demand emerges.<\/p>\n<p>A 2026 ACM Web Conference paper, &#8220;Resisting Manipulative Bots in Meme Coin Copy Trading,&#8221; lays out the mechanism behind that speed in a market where copy <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/trading\/\">trading<\/a> has become a major entry strategy.<\/p>\n<p>The paper found sniper bots buying within the first <a href=\"https:\/\/dl.acm.org\/doi\/10.1145\/3774904.3792635\">one to five blocks<\/a> of a token's launch, faster than any human can react, and traced those bots to the majority of the 6,000 memecoin projects it studied.<\/p>\n<p>MELT, also known as MemeTrans, covers over 41,000 Solana <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/pump-fun-reclaims-solana-memecoin-launchpad-dominance-with-62-revenue-share-over-two-weeks\/\">memecoin launches<\/a> and over 200 million transactions. It found coordinated accounts holding an average of 36.5% of the token supply, obscuring true ownership concentration, and labeled 84.13% of the launches it studied as high risk.<\/p>\n<p>A separate cross-chain study, &#8220;A Midsummer Meme's Dream,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/arxiv.org\/abs\/2507.01963\">examined 34,988 memecoins<\/a> and found that among the highest-return tokens, 82.8% exhibited signs of artificial growth, such as wash trading or liquidity-pool <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/price-watch\/\">price<\/a> inflation, and that more than 17,000 addresses showed realized losses exceeding $9.3 million.<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Research source<\/th>\n<th align=\"right\">Market studied<\/th>\n<th>Key finding<\/th>\n<th>Why it matters<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Galaxy Research, 2025<\/strong><\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">Solana memecoins<\/td>\n<td>Median hold time fell to roughly <strong>100 seconds<\/strong>, down from about <strong>300 seconds<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Shows trench trading has become faster and more PvP<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>ACM Web Conference paper, 2026<\/strong><\/td>\n<td align=\"right\"><strong>6,000+<\/strong> memecoin projects<\/td>\n<td>Sniper bots bought within the first <strong>1\u20135 blocks<\/strong> and appeared in the majority of projects studied<\/td>\n<td>The game can begin before ordinary traders can react<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>MELT \/ MemeTrans, 2026<\/strong><\/td>\n<td align=\"right\"><strong>41,000+<\/strong> Solana launches and <strong>200M+<\/strong> transactions<\/td>\n<td>Coordinated accounts held an average <strong>36.5%<\/strong> of supply; <strong>84.13%<\/strong> of launches labeled high risk<\/td>\n<td>Ownership can look more distributed than it really is<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>A Midsummer Meme\u2019s Dream, 2025\/2026<\/strong><\/td>\n<td align=\"right\"><strong>34,988<\/strong> cross-chain memecoins<\/td>\n<td><strong>82.8%<\/strong> of high-return tokens showed artificial-growth signs; <strong>17,000+<\/strong> addresses had realized losses above <strong>$9.3M<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Biggest winners can be the most manipulation-prone<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>That pattern is specific to the biggest winners: manipulation is common among memecoins that post the largest gains.<\/p>\n<p>The bull case has Pump's daily volume repeatedly clearing $1 billion and Solana's memecoin share of weekly volume pushing toward 30%.<\/p>\n<p>ANSEM-style tokens would need to continue producing secondary winners along that path, with user growth, launch speed, and attention feeding into each other, more closely resembling an early memecoin season.<\/p>\n<p>The bear case has ANSEM's own copycat variants siphoning attention, Pump's weekly volume dropping back under $3 billion, and memecoin share slipping to 15%-18% of Solana's total.
