The fee spike is largely fueled by Pump.fun’s new creator fee model. As earlier reported, the platform’s “Project Ascend” initiative introduced a dynamic, tiered structure called Dynamic Fees V1, which scales fees according to a token’s market capitalization.

Under this model, fees for newly launched tokens start higher but gradually decrease as a token’s market cap grows.

Market Signals Put Bulls Still in Control

The changes have boosted network activity, translating into higher daily fees and growing demand for Pump.fun’s native token, PUMP. 

Trading at $0.004204 at press time, its value has jumped nearly 10% in the past 24 hours. Its trading volume has also increased by 13%, to reach $354 million, confirming the strengthening buy-side pressure.

When both price and trading volume climb in tandem, it signals that the rally is supported by broad market participation. This indicates growing investor confidence in PUMP, as higher volumes validate its upward price movement.

Further, on the daily chart, the altcoin trades significantly above its 20-day exponential moving average. As of this writing, the key moving average forms dynamic support below PUMP’s price at $0.003482.
