Do Creator Fees Need a Rethink on Pump.fun? Alon Cohen Backtracks

• Pump.fun’s cofounder, Alan Cohen, has admitted that the platform’s creator fees need to change.
• Cohen stated that Dynamic Fees V1 must be updated via rebalancing towards traders.
• This update will catalyze quality memes over quantity, thus bolstering a bullish outlook for $PUMP.

After more than two months of radio silence, Pump.fun cofounder Alon Cohen has resurfaced with new changes. Cohen has championed new changes to update the Dynamic Fees V1 to catalyze growth and adoption of strong meme projects in 2026.

Pump.fun Forges a Sustainable Creator Fee Program

The Pump.fun community has tweaked the creator fees program to catalyze a sustainable growth of memecoins. According to the announcement, the new proposals to the creator fee program introduce shared fees with up to 10 wallets, transfer coin ownership, and revoke update authority.

The introduction of a trustless fee-sharing distribution system among the teams is a game changer on Pump.fun’s growth plan. According to Cohen, the Dynamic Fees V1 is a great feature that requires future updates to catalyze organic and sustainable growth of the platform.

“Pump fun’s mission is to create the best possible environment for coins to thrive, and successful tokens are much more likely to come about in an environment where traders are incentivized to participate in the market, provide liquidity, create volume, and take risk,” Cohen stated.

What’s the Expected Impact?

The changes in the Pump.fun’s creator fee-sharing program is expected to catalyze the growth of high-quality meme projects. Currently, the Solana ecosystem has been leading in the number of new tokens created per day, but the volume has remained relatively low.

Cohen shared a bonding curve volume, which revealed a stagnation in liquidity flow to new meme coins. The proposed changes in creators fee will reduce rugs on Pump.fun, thus catalyze a sustainable growth in its bonding curve volume.

PUMP Price Gains Bullish Sentiment 

The expected change in Pump.fun’s creator few sharing model will catalyze bullish sentiment for the platform’s native token $PUMP. Furthermore, an increase in Pump.fun’s trading volume will help increase future $PUMP buy backs.

According to the platform, it has so far repurchased $237 million worth of $PUMP from the secondary market, which represents around 18% of the token’s circulating supply. As such, PUMP price pumped 3.5% in the past 24 hours, which cemented its 22% gains in the last two weeks to trade about $0.002258 at press time.

From a technical analysis standpoint, PUMP price is well positioned to rally more than 200% in the near future. With the latest changes on Pump.fun platform amid anticipated crypto bull run in 2026, PUMP price could rally parabolically soon.
