Autumn has historically been a stronger season for digital assets after the summer lull, suggesting conditions could align for further upside. <\/p>\n<p>Still, PUMP remains far from its launch highs, and its trajectory will depend on whether fee revenue can remain consistent in a slowing market.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the majors remain under pressure: bitcoin is trading at $108,500 and ether at $4,337, both down between 6% and 7% this week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pump.fun\u2019s native token, PUMP, has bucked the market-wide downturn this week, rising by 17% as the protocol leverages platform fees to repurchase tokens.
