Bitcoinethereumnews.com reports that Pump.fun has extended its memecoin launchpad to HyperEVM, the execution layer built by Hyperliquid. The integration, announced on X on August 26, allows users to trade any HyperEVM token using USDC through the existing interface. Hyperliquid operates one of the busiest venues for perpetuals trading, and this move aims to bring token launches and decentralized finance to that order flow.
Traders can access near-zero fees and earn callout rewards, mirroring the low-cost model that helped Pump.fun dominate on Solana. Settling trades in USDC keeps the experience familiar for those moving between memecoins and stablecoins. Pump.fun stated it is proud to be the first app to bring HyperEVM to the trenches, though this claim is not independently confirmed.
This follows other experiments like BasedPad, signaling Hyperliquid’s bid to rival venues where memecoin activity concentrates. The launchpad did not specify timelines for broader rollouts or how rewards will be funded. It also left open whether Solana tools and listings will carry over to the new chain. The expansion provides HyperEVM with a new distribution channel for one of the industry’s most recognizable brands.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for PUMP, measured when this story was written up on 28 August 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
PUMP is trading at $0.004877 with a 24-hour spot volume of $56,025,270. The 24-hour buy ratio stands at 51.0%, while the 4-hour ratio is higher at 54.3%, indicating that buying pressure has strengthened in the short term compared to the full day. However, the 1-hour buy ratio dropped to 48.0%, suggesting immediate momentum is fading. The 24-hour volume delta is positive at $1,085,048, showing net accumulation over the day, but the 1-hour delta is negative at -$55,415. The buy ratio measures the proportion of buy volume relative to total volume, while the volume delta tracks the net difference between buy and sell volume. These figures show that while the day ended with net buying, recent hourly activity shows sellers taking control.
The latest daily buy ratio of 50.6% sits at the 63rd percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 49.3% - ordinary for this coin.
Twenty-four hours later
What PUMP did over the 24 hours after the story broke. The market moves for its own reasons; this is what happened, not what the story caused.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for PUMP, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, PUMP saw a 27.2% price increase and recorded net buying on all seven days. The 7-day average buy ratio was 53.5%, which is 2.6 percentage points higher than today’s 24-hour reading of 51.0%. This indicates that today’s buying intensity is slightly below the recent weekly average. Volume for the period was 0.91 times the average, reflecting a slight reduction in activity relative to the norm. The 8-day volume delta totaled $30,425,391, confirming strong sustained accumulation over the week. This day is ordinary in terms of weekly trend continuation but shows a slight dip in buying pressure compared to the weekly average.
