It's been nearly two months since the trend of celebrities and politicians launching memecoins began. During this period, liquidity in the Solana ecosystem almost dried up. Pump.fun, which once saw over 2000 successful launches landing on DEXs daily, hit a low of just slightly over 50 new projects per day, marking a drop of nearly 97%. During the two months, Pump.fun also rolled out its own DEX, Pump Swap, while major centralized exchanges (CEXs) accelerated their transition and put toward products combining spot and on-chain transactions. These offerings help bridge the liquidity gap between CEXs and on-chain trading, in order to capture opportunities in early-stage tokens' hype and drive a faster recovery in Solana's on-chain liquidity.
