NiftyNoon: Raydium vs. Pump.Fun: Raydium Stikes Back with Launchpad 🚀🪙📈
Raydium has launched LaunchLab, a full-featured token launchpad, in direct response to Pump.fun’s entry into the decentralized exchange space last month (17 April 2025)
Nifty Thought:
Raydium has launched LaunchLab, a full-featured token launchpad, in direct response to Pump.fun’s entry into the decentralized exchange space last month. While Pump.fun focuses primarily on meme coin launches, Raydium’s LaunchLab aims to serve a wider range of token creators with instant liquidity migration, no fees, and built-in trading on its AMM. The rollout has sparked strong community interest, driving a 10% surge in Raydium’s native token, RAY. With 25% of trading fees dedicated to RAY buybacks and the rest supporting ecosystem incentives, Raydium is positioning itself to reclaim ground in the Solana ecosystem and intensify competition in the rapidly growing meme coin and token launch arena.
