RAYDIUM TO RELEASE MEMECOIN LAUNCHPAD🫡
$RAY | $1.89 | $552 Million | -0.8% |
Raydium has announced the launch of LaunchLab, a new token launchpad designed to compete with the popular Solana-based platform Pump.fun. LaunchLab will allow users to create and launch tokens using customizable bonding curves such as linear, exponential, or logarithmic formulas. It will also support multiple quote currencies beyond just SOL. One major advantage is its direct integration with Raydium’s AMM and liquidity pools, allowing tokens to list immediately on Raydium without needing to hit the $69,000 market cap threshold that Pump.fun requires. Although LaunchLab has been in development for several months, Raydium decided to release it after Pump.fun revealed plans to launch its own AMM, which would cut into Raydium’s trading fee revenue.
The market reaction was immediate. Raydium’s native token RAY jumped from $1.60 to $2 after the news before settling at around $1.90, showing a 19 percent gain for the week. This move is seen as Raydium protecting its revenue stream, since Pump.fun memecoins previously made up 41 percent of its swap fee income. While Raydium claims LaunchLab is simply an alternative for token creators who prefer its infrastructure, the timing and features make it clear this is a direct response to Pump.fun’s expansion. The competition between the two platforms could lead to faster innovation and more tools for users in the Solana ecosystem.
