Pump.fun Fee Update previous creator fee system had problems. They are now changing that system. Previously, creators received significant rewards, which led to the influx of new meme coins into the market, but trading and liquidity were not sustainable.
Pump.fun’s focus is now on traders. This means that rewards will now be given to those who trade and keep the marketplace active, not just those who launch new coins. Details are not yet complete, but according to reports, traders will play a greater role in deciding how rewards will be distributed.

Pump.Fun Data-Driven Dee Reversal
Pump.fun previously used a dynamic creator-fee system to balance both the launch of new coins and trading. However, the platform now says the system was pushing users solely to create new coins, preventing healthy trading in the secondary market. This resulted in coins becoming illiquid for late buyers, and interest quickly waning.
Another development is that Pump.fun founder was away from X (Twitter) for some time, but has now returned and promised an overhaul of creator fees by 2026. When this announcement was made, the price of the PUMP token increased by approximately 10%, which shows that the price is more affected by the news of the platform, rather than by fundamentals.
Memecoin Cycle Is Back, But Still Fragile
Timing is important. Memecoin trading is now becoming slightly more active in the market, and the PUMP token has also risen above its 20-day average, driven by increased platform activity and trading volume.
But some reports suggest that this move doesn’t yet represent a strong trend change more FOMO (fear of missing out), not confirmation.
In this situation, the redesign of Pump.fun becomes even more important: when retail buyers return, the system of fees and rewards will either improve liquidity or speed up coin turnover.
Why This Matters
The biggest question for pump holders now is whether trader-focused rewards will create long-term trading volume, or will they simply become a short-term subsidy.
If the new system works properly such as tighter spreads, more liquidity, and reducing unnecessary coin launches it could stabilize revenue and market sentiment.
If not, the headlines will only temporarily drive prices up, followed by a quick drop, along with liquidity.

People Also Ask – Pump.fun Fee Update
What changed with Pump.fun’s creator fees?
Dynamic Fees V1 model is now undergoing a change. New features include: fees can now be shared across up to 10 wallets after launch, coin ownership can be transferred, updates can be revoked, and percentage allocation is flexible not fixed at deployment time.
Why did Pump.fun make this change?
Co-founder Alon Cohen says the old system pushed creators to create low-risk tokens, instead of high-risk trading that builds liquidity and volume. Traders are the platform lifeblood, and this imbalance posed long-term risks.
Are creator fees completely eliminated?
No, fees haven’t been completely eliminated they’ve simply been rebalanced and evolved. Fees are still applicable to organized teams/projects, but in the future, traders will decide whether a token is worth something, using a “market-based approach.”
How is this beneficial for traders?
Risk and reward have now shifted from creators to traders, who provide liquidity and volume. Low-effort churn will be reduced, and sustainable trading activity will be encouraged.
Are more changes coming?
Yes, Cohen hinted at further updates for 2026 that will further balance incentives. Pump.fun team itself is not taking creator fees, this has now become a community/trader feature.
