Ansem: PUMP can be valued based on L1 logic, bullish on pump.fun becoming a super app in this cycle.
Ansem believes pump.fun is gradually becoming L1-like underlying infrastructure, allowing other token launch platforms to build on top of it, and PUMP may eventually command a valuation logic similar to that of an L1.
Ansem: PUMP Could Be Valued Like an L1, Bullish on pump.fun Becoming a Super App This Cycle
Odaily reports: Ansem posted on X that the market has not yet fully priced in pump.fun's emergence as L1-like foundational infrastructure, on which other token issuance platforms could build directly in the future; for every ~$500 million in revenue the platform generates, token creators can receive ~$500 million in creator fees after tokens complete the bonding curve phase.He believes that with the launch of features such as custom trading pairs and Callout Rewards, PUMP may gradually be valued under L1-like logic, and he is bullish on pump.fun developing into a super app in this cycle.
Bonk Guy: PONS's annualized revenue valuation is only 40% of PUMP's; Robinhood Chain is worth watching if it continues to grow
Bonk Guy stated on the X platform that PONS's current market sentiment may be at a long-term low, and compared it with PUMP: PONS's annualized revenue is approximately $156.8 million, with a market cap of about $375 million, corresponding to an annualized revenue multiple of approximately 2.39x; PUMP's annualized revenue is approximately $463.6 million, with a market cap of about $2.7 billion, corresponding to a multiple of approximately 5.82x.Bonk Guy said that PUMP is the leading Launchpad on Solana, while PONS is the leading Launchpad on Robinhood Chain; if Robinhood Chain continues to maintain market influence in the future, he believes PONS's current valuation is worth watching.
PUMP may be undervalued in the short term, while long-term value retention remains uncertain
Odaily reports: Shaunda Devens stated that PumpFun's annualized revenue is approximately $677 million, with PUMP's price-to-sales ratio at about 2.8x, lower than comparable revenue-generating tokens; based on current revenue and price, 50% of protocol revenue is used for programmatic buybacks and burning of PUMP, equivalent to repurchasing about 17.6% of the circulating supply annually, while approximately 77% of tokens already allocated to the team and investors have not yet moved. PUMP's official documents explicitly state that the token does not represent equity in PumpFun, nor does it grant holders rights to income, profits, dividends, or cash flows; PumpFun's approximately $2 billion treasury is owned by Baton Corp, and the existing buyback arrangement will expire in April 2027. Under its base-case scenario, PUMP's valuation range is $0.0108 to $0.0205, approximately 2.3 to 4.4 times higher than the September 9 price; if business activity declines and valuations continue to contract, the price could fall by 59% to 76%.
Rune on Pump.fun Launching MemeStocks: Industry Leaders Should Drive More Innovation Rather Than Continuously Copying Proven Models
Odaily News – Crypto trader Rune (@RuneCrypto_) posted on X, stating that Pump.fun holds over $2 billion in cash, with a valuation of approximately $4.4 billion, making it one of the most influential platforms in the Meme coin market this cycle. However, since launching the Bonding Curve model, its subsequent product expansion has largely been a response to market demand already validated by other teams.Rune cited examples, noting that after Axiom's rise, Pump acquired Padre and renamed it Terminal; after fomo emerged, Pump added social features to compete for KOLs; and now that products combining Meme coins with equity-related assets have appeared on BNB Chain, Robinhood, Stonks, and Base, Pump has launched a similar MemeStocks feature.Rune stated that this strategy is not entirely ineffective—for instance, Padre's market share rose from roughly 2% to 10% after its acquisition. However, as a leading platform with substantial capital and resources, Pump should focus more on creating unvalidated new products rather than continuously replicating existing models. Otherwise, it may weaken the incentive for smaller teams to pursue product innovation, ultimately slowing the industry's overall pace of development.

High-leverage positions chasing rallies carry significant risk, whereas high-conviction spot holdings hold a relative advantage.
