In the discourse
Attributed discussion of Pump.fun.
Hyperliquid ($65B market cap, $800M revenue) vastly outvalues Pump.fun ($1.4B market cap, $440M revenue) despite both using buy-and-burn, suggesting a trust premium for the team matters more than buyback mechanics alone.
“I have a thesis that buybacks don't actually work. Hyperlid makes 800 million in annualized revenue. Pump Fund makes 440 annualized revenue, but Hype trades at 65 billion, whereas Pump trades at 1.4 billion. Why the discrepancy? They're both buy and burn, you know, like pump is just half hyperlquid. Shouldn't it be half the valuation?”Ryan Sean Adams · 17 Jul 2026
