- New research from crypto data aggregator shows that traders began returning to the platform in 2026. to launch Pump.fun memecoins.
- In their opinion, we are talking about more experienced traders who are more skillful in managing money.
According to According to CoinGecko, after a long decline, the memecoin platform Pump.fun is seeing a reversal.
From April 2024 to the end of 2025, most traders who closed positions on the popular meme coin platform based on Solana, ended each month with losses. During this period, the share of profitable wallets rarely exceeded 50%, and in June 2025, it fell to 30,1%.

In early 2026, the situation began to reverse. In February, almost 57% of traders on Pump.fun recorded profits, followed by a sharp increase to 70% in March and 73,3% in April 2026.
CoinGecko researchers found that the largest group of approximately 2,05 million wallets (65,1%) earned between $1 and $500. Another 87,000 wallets, or 2,8%, earned between $500 and $1000, and 169,000 wallets, or 5,4%, recorded profits over $1000.
Regarding losses, 793,000 wallets, or approximately 25%, lost between $1 and $500, while 22,000 wallets (0,7%) lost between $500 and $1000, and 24,000 wallets (0,8%) suffered losses greater than $1000. Overall, both gains and losses were small, which “reflects the small size and high frequency of small-value memcoin trades.”
The report notes that the improved profitability may be due to the departure of weaker participants, as the number of monthly active wallets fell from a peak of 5,2 million in May 2025 to 1,8 million in December 2025. A subsequent recovery in early 2026 indicates the return of a smaller, but potentially more experienced, trader base to the platform.
This decline can be seen as a departure of a wide range of retail investors, and the subsequent recovery in transaction volume from the beginning of 2026 implies the return of a more selective and experienced trader base, which will naturally shift the distribution of profits in their favor.
Here’s how much Pump.fun traders made in April 2026, according to CoinGecko.
Last week, Pump.fun announced the burning of all previously purchased PUMP tokens and the launch of a new buyback and burn program funded by 50% of future net profits. The destroyed tokens were worth approximately $370 million and constituted 36% of the total token supply in circulation.
