Pump.fun kept about $18.6 million of the $52.5 million traders paid in fees in the week to Oct. 7, DefiLlama data show. That income depends on traders rotating into new coins, so it holds up even though Talos found 81% of tracked memecoins down at least 90%.

GTA 6 leaker Cyberleek is credited with about 25 minutes of gameplay footage released despite Take-Two's subpoenas, six weeks before the November 19 launch. For launch teams, it shows subpoenas can chase a leaker's name while unannounced features still reach players first.

Arkham Intelligence says wallets tied to LIBRA's Kelsier Ventures now hold about $2 million, down from nearly $300 million in February 2025. Because about $100 million of that was USDC and SOL, a falling LIBRA price cannot explain the drop on its own.
