PumpSwap earned $2.63 million in fees on October 17, its lowest daily figure in at least 60 days, according to DefiLlama. The PumpSwap daily fees reading sits 53% under the September 26 peak of $5.59 million. The launchpad next door, pump.fun, also slipped, to $1.58 million.

PumpSwap daily fees over four Saturdays

Saturdays make a clean comparison, since each one is the same day of the week. Look at it Saturday by Saturday. September 26 gave $5.59 million. A week later it was $4.26 million, then $3.61 million, and then just $2.63 million.

Trading volume tells a related story. DefiLlama shows PumpSwap handling about $545 million on October 16 and about $195 million on October 17, a one-day drop of roughly 64%. Over the last seven days, PumpSwap fees totalled $22.5 million. The seven days before that gave $29.6 million, so the weekly figure fell about 24%.

What pump.fun shows next to PumpSwap daily fees

September 26 was the peak day for both protocols. The launchpad followed the same direction at a gentler pace, and the PumpSwap daily fees drop was the steeper of the two. It made $2.70 million on September 26 and $1.58 million on October 17, down about 42%. Its Saturdays in between ran lower each week too.

Its latest seven days came to $13.7 million. The week before had been $16.3 million.

October 17 was the third lowest day for pump.fun in the last 30. Only September 19 and September 20 were lower in that window. DefiLlama also tracks the share of fees that the protocol keeps. For pump.fun that revenue was $1.14 million on October 17 and $9.8 million over seven days. The longer low sits further back, at $0.68 million on September 5.

Thirty-day totals and the PUMP token

Over 30 days DefiLlama counts $117.4 million of fees for PumpSwap and $61.2 million for pump.fun. Lifetime fees stand at $968.3 million and $1.288 billion. Solana as a whole booked $5.3 million in the last seven days, down 18.7% on the week before. Both protocols run on Solana, so the chain's own slide points the same way.

The PUMP token has not helped. Binance daily candles show it losing about 30% between its October 7 close and its October 17 close. On Sunday morning it traded near $0.0043, below half a cent.

The number to watch next is whether PumpSwap daily fees hold above $2.6 million over the coming week. We are not claiming the fee slide caused the price move. The two series simply fell together over these ten days. Other dashboards may show slightly different fee numbers, because each one models the protocols its own way. October 17 is a complete UTC day here, not a partial reading.
