Hey there, meme enthusiasts! If you're deep into the Solana ecosystem, you've probably heard the buzz about Raydium, one of the top decentralized exchanges (DEXs) where a ton of meme tokens get their start. Recently, a tweet from the Raydium infra team caught our eye, highlighting a major shift in how liquidity is handled on the platform. Let's break it down in simple terms and see what it means for your favorite meme coins.

The tweet from @0xINFRA dropped some fresh data: In the second quarter of 2025, Raydium's CLMM pools overtook the V4 AMM pools in trading volume for the first time. CLMM stands for Concentrated Liquidity Market Maker, which is basically a smarter way for liquidity providers (LPs) to park their funds. Unlike the older V4 Automated Market Maker (AMM) model, where liquidity is spread evenly across all price ranges, CLMM lets LPs focus their capital on specific price points. This means better efficiency, lower slippage for traders, and potentially higher fees for those providing liquidity.

Looking at the chart shared in the tweet (courtesy of Messari and Top Ledger data), you can see the blue CLMM area dominating by June 2025, with a whopping $578.1 billion in volume compared to V4 AMM's $19.7 billion. That's a 4.5% quarter-over-quarter growth for CLMM, while V4 AMM dipped by 19.2%. Other products like CPMM (Constant Product Market Maker) and LaunchLab are in the mix too, but CLMM is clearly stealing the show.

For meme token traders and creators, this flip is huge. Solana's meme scene thrives on quick launches and high-volume trades, often through tools like Pump.fun or directly on Raydium. With CLMM taking the lead, expect smoother trades on volatile meme pairs—think less price impact when you're buying or selling that hot new cat-themed token. LPs are "eating" as the tweet puts it, meaning they're earning more from fees, which could attract even more liquidity to the platform. This creates a virtuous cycle: better liquidity leads to more trading, which draws in more LPs, and so on.

We've seen replies to the tweet echoing the excitement, with users noting how Raydium is evolving rapidly and LPs are feasting on these improvements. It's a sign that Solana's DEX infrastructure is maturing, making it an even stronger hub for meme tokens compared to other chains.
