Meme Insider
Pyth Network just dropped the first episode of their new podcast The Feed, and they went straight for the jugular by bringing on Ben Ungvari, CMO of Raydium.
And within the first few minutes Ben says the quiet part out loud:
“It's been pretty much the only, you know, launch pad.”
He’s talking about Raydium on Solana. And if you’ve ever watched a meme coin graduate from pump.fun (or any other launcher) and actually get real liquidity and volume, you know he’s 100% right. Raydium is where the big boy charts happen.
The whole episode is packed with gold for anyone who lives in the Solana meme/meta:
- How Raydium went from “just another DEX” to the default liquidity layer for literally everything on Solana
- Why fighting on CT is actually a deliberate growth strategy (yes, the shitposting is part of the plan)
- The real story of Solana’s comeback after FTX and why the builder culture never died
- When (and why) a challenger brand should punch back at bigger players
- The Pyth × Raydium relationship and why oracle quality actually matters for perps and pools
- Straight-up advice for anyone marketing DeFi or meme projects in 2025/2026
