Two new celebrity-linked tokens on Solana have reached market caps of $13 million and $8 million.
The pump.fun machine keeps printing
Pump.fun, the Solana-based token launchpad, has become the default infrastructure for this kind of thing. Token creation costs less than $2, the barrier to entry is essentially zero, and the platform has facilitated millions of launches since 2024.
The launchpad saw a notable rebound in activity during May 2026, after integrating USDC trading support. That move lowered friction for retail participants and drove a measurable uptick in wallet creation and trading volumes.
Solana’s broader meme coin category sat at roughly $3 billion in total market cap as of late June 2026.
