Nearly a third of Tron’s record $151 million quarterly revenue came from its new memecoin launchpad SunPump over a two week period.
Tron’s memecoin launchpad SunPump has driven the blockchain’s quarterly revenue to a record high of $151.2 million across the third quarter, a nearly 30% quarter-on-quarter bump, says Messari.
A memecoin frenzy saw over 89,000 tokens launched on SunPump between Aug. 12 and Sept. 30 and led to Tron’s decentralized finance transactions gaining by 487% over Q3, Messari said in an Oct. 17 report.
Between Aug. 16 and 31, over 270 million TRON (TRX) tokens were burned, generating around $42 million — nearly 27% of Tron’s Q3 revenue, Messari noted.
