Pump.fun Expands to HyperEVM, Taking Its Memecoin Trading Model Beyond Solana

Pump.fun, the Solana-based memecoin launchpad that rose to prominence as a major venue for new token launches, is extending its reach to HyperEVM—the Ethereum Virtual Machine execution layer developed by decentralized derivatives exchange Hyperliquid. In a post on X dated Aug. 26, Pump.fun said its app now supports HyperEVM, enabling users to trade any HyperEVM token against USDC through the same interface they use on Solana. Hyperliquid operates one of the most active perpetuals trading venues. With HyperEVM, it is pushing to route that activity into token launches and broader DeFi usage. Beyond basic chain support, Pump.fun said the rollout includes features aimed at mirroring its Solana playbook: traders can earn what it calls "callout rewards" and trade with "nearzero fees." Trades settling in USDC, rather than a native chain token, is designed to keep the experience consistent for users who frequently rotate between memecoins and stablecoins. Pump.fun described itself as "the first app to bring HyperEVM to the trenches." This is the company's own characterization and has not been independently verified. Since HyperEVM mainnet went live, the network has been building out a DeFi and memecoin launch ecosystem. Pump.fun's integration adds one of the best-known launchpad brands in the sector, following earlier efforts such as BasedPad, a zero-fee launchpad on Hyperliquid—signaling a broader push to compete with venues where memecoin activity has historically clustered. Pump.fun did not provide a timeline for additional features, explain how "callout rewards" will be funded, or confirm whether its Solana tooling and token listings will carry over to HyperEVM. Fee terms may also evolve as the integration develops. Even so, the move gives HyperEVM another distribution channel and puts a new venue on memecoin traders' radar. Whether usage persists will hinge on liquidity and demand that are still emerging, leaving the longer-term market impact uncertain.
