Letsbonk overtakes pump.fun, defi-tradfi combine looms


Pump.Fun lost to the top area in the rank of Solana Memecoin Launchpad in the first time since it was released, indicating a move to the Memecoin sector.

Number Cointelegraph had previously reported. While the general activity of the network shows a potential reshuffle rather than an expansion, some metrics indicate that Solana may increase, with a potential expansion in memecoin activity.

In addition, decentralized finances (DEFI) and traditional finances (Tradfi) can convert earlier than people think. Nelli Zaltsman, head of a change of blockchain payment to JPMorgan’s Kinexys, said this could happen in the next few years.

The Real-World Asset (RWA) Platform Projective Finance offers exposure to government-supported technology projects, while the NFT Platform Opensea expands the DeFI and Perpetuals after a major acquisition.

Meanwhile, security researchers stopped at a $ 10-million defi backdoor that threatened thousands of intelligent contracts for months.

Letsbonk Flips Pumpfun in 24 hours income: Defillama

A new Memecoin launchpad gains traction within the Solana ecosystem, which eclips the top platform at 24-hour sales.

On July 7, Defi Data Platform Defillama showed Letsbonk, a Solana Memecoin’s platform supported by Bonk (Bonk) Community, formed $ 1.04 million in income. This note doubled the pump.fun income of $ 533,412 for the same period.

The flow is marked by an unusual transition to dominance in Solana Memecoins, where the pump.fun is usually above. Although Letsbonk showed a spike in the sunny income, Pump.Fun remained dominant on the monthly chart, recording more than $ 37 million in the protocol’s income.

Defi, Tradfi Convergence may come earlier than expected: JPMorgan

A JPMorgan’s executive said the division between Tradfi and Defi could disappear over the next few years.

At the RWA Summit Cannes 2025, Nelli Zaltsman said JPMorgan is trying to combine onchain assets with institutional payment infrastructure. It has signed a potential tipping point for adopting a mass blockchain.

The executive said their goal was to find a way to work with the public blockchain, as the environmental regulation allows. Zaltsman described JPMorgan’s approach as “asset agnostic,” indicating that the company aims to provide multichein access to clients.
