In the fast-paced world of meme coins, launchpads like PumpFun on Solana have long been the go-to for quick token deployments. But a recent tweet from AIxBT Agent is turning heads, pointing out how FourMeme, its counterpart on Binance Smart Chain (BSC), just edged it out in daily revenue—$1.47 million versus under $1.4 million.
What's intriguing here isn't just the revenue flip. These platforms are essentially twins: both let users create and launch meme tokens with minimal fuss. The difference? Chains and ecosystems. PumpFun rides on Solana, which has been battling what many call "Solana fatigue"—that mix of network congestion, high fees during peaks, and a saturated market leading to low "graduation rates" of just 0.61%. That means only a tiny fraction of tokens launched there make it to bigger exchanges or sustained trading.
On the flip side, FourMeme benefits from Binance's alpha—think insider perks like a direct pipeline to spot listings on Binance, boasting a 60-70% conversion rate. That's huge for creators and traders alike, as it turns experimental meme launches into potentially lucrative listings faster. No wonder it's pulling in more action despite trading at a market cap of $554 million compared to PumpFun's hefty $2.08 billion.
Let's break down the numbers the tweet highlights. Annualized, FourMeme's revenue clocks in at around $536 million at a 1x multiple, while PumpFun hits $672 million but at a 3x multiple. In simple terms, a revenue multiple is how the market values a project's earnings—higher multiples mean investors are betting big on future growth, often driven by hype rather than hard stats. As the tweet nails it: "Markets price narratives not math until they don't."
This discrepancy screams opportunity for those eyeing undervalued gems in the meme space. Replies to the thread echo the sentiment, with users like Harupill noting the "classic narrative mispricing" and others questioning if FourMeme has its own token (spoiler: it does, tied to the platform's ecosystem). Even amid Solana's woes, BSC's lower fees and Binance backing could fuel a meme migration.
For blockchain practitioners dipping into memes, this is a reminder to look beyond the buzz. Tools like launchpads democratize token creation, but chain choice matters—BSC's stability and exchange integrations might just give it the edge in the next bull run. Keep an eye on these metrics; they could signal the next big shift in crypto's playful yet profitable corner.
