Dragonfly Partner: Meme Coin Trading is Retail-Driven, Should Not Exhibit Weekend Lull Typical of Professional Markets

Odaily Odaily News: Dragonfly partner Haseeb posted on X platform, responding to doubts about the long-term stability of Pump.fun's revenue curve. He believes this phenomenon is not abnormal and, from a macro perspective, closely resembles the trend of overall crypto spot trading volume.

Haseeb stated that some users suspect data anomalies because daily trading volume appears too stable, lacking a weekend dip. However, he argues this perspective overlooks the participant structure of the Meme coin market. Since Meme coin trading is primarily driven by retail investors, it does not experience a significant decline in trading volume on weekends, unlike markets dominated by professional traders and hedge funds such as Hyperliquid.

Haseeb noted that users can verify this by examining Pump.fun's pre-issuance revenue data, which previously showed similar stability and does not indicate any irregularities. Additionally, he mentioned that trading terminals and Telegram bots have relatively high trading volumes, so their revenue is not necessarily highly correlated with Pump.fun itself. Currently, the revenue curve of the largest trading terminal, Axiom, closely resembles that of Pump.fun.
