Rebuilt @RuneCrypto_’s table and added the % breakdown. It’s pretty clear: despite the insane volume of launches on Pumpfun, only a microscopic slice actually holds a $100k floor. - @LaunchOnSF → 0.04% - @virtuals_io → 0.03% - @longdotxyz → 0.02% - @flapdotsh → 0.01% - @ponsdotfamily → 0.01% So you can give me all the bullish theses on $PUMP, but I don’t think the economy will trickle down to the projects launching on it.

➥ Project Spotlight - Week 44/2026 Here are 9 handpicked projects you'll want to explore. ➢ @FreedomFactory ➢ @folio_market ➢ @looputo_fi ➢ @torosfinance ➢ @SlopCash ➢ @Cordaxyz ➢ @saplingdotcash ➢ @jusd_finance ➢ @floatdotxyz Below you will find brief summaries for each.

Focus on trusted originators, real yield, composability, distribution, and clear redemption paths. Institutional compliance (AML, audits by Halborn) … — 📌 | Sapling First fully Zcash-native launchpad and terminal on Solana. Launch and trade memecoins paired with $ZEC (or other quotes, including stocks on Robinhood Chain) straight from a Zcash wallet. Every coin has a ZEC “roots” vault fed by trade fees; burn tokens for your share of ZEC + a stamp on @Zcash mainnet. … — 📌 | jUSD Finance Fixed-yield credit vaults. Deposit USDC, receive $JUSD (1:1 backed), earn real yield from delta-neutral CEX/DEX arbitrage + collateralized private credit strategies (on- and off-chain).

Anyone can launch a memecoin paired with a stock token like NVIDIA, Tesla or McDonald's, or with plain SOL or USDC.

Two real‑world yield streams. One onchain pipeline: @apyx_fi. @MicroStrategy’s preferred shares spin off cash dividends, and U.S. Treasuries generate interest, Apyx channels both into DeFi seamlessly. The appeal is simple: earn from real‑world assets through tokens you can hold and use onchain. But the tokens do different jobs, and those differences matter. Here’s how the money moves: ❶  apxUSD gives you liquidity. Its reserves include dividend-paying preferred shares from crypto treasury companies, including Strategy’s STRC. You can use apxUSD across supported markets, but holding it alone doesn’t earn yield. ❷ apyUSD passes the income through. (~13.78% APY) Deposit apxUSD into a vault and receive apyUSD. As dividends accrue, each apyUSD becomes redeemable for more apxUSD. Your balance stays unchanged; its redemption value grows. Exiting involves a cooldown and fees, and yield stops during the wait. ❸ aptUSD takes the Treasury route. (~3.84% APY) It’s backed by U.S. Treasuries and cash equivalents. Hold it and yield accrues automatically, with no separate staking step, management fees or performance fees. There’s no protocol cooldown, though swaps still depend on liquidity. And now let's talk about $APYX. $APYX is Apyx’s planned governance and participation token, with a fixed supply of 100M. Holders can vote on reserve allocation, risk settings, and payouts. The current model distributes 50% of monthly reserve growth to stakers and retains 50% to grow the reserve. There are two planned staking options: → xAPYX: protocol revenue buys APYX, increasing backing per vault token → yAPYX: protocol revenue pays holders in apxUSD The best exposure is mainly via Apyx Pips: - Earn pips for eligible holdings, commitments, and supported DeFi positions involving the assets above - Points accrue daily based on USD value × an activity multiplier (LP and commitments can boost multipliers vs. holding) - Season 1 users receive a 1.2× loyalty multiplier on eligible Season 2 activity If you think you’re late: Season 2 has more allocation than Season 1, and both are planned to fully unlock at TGE. - Season 2: 9M APYX (9% of supply) - Season 1: 5% of supply --- ➥ Final Take Apyx brings two compelling income sources under one roof: Strategy’s preferred-share dividends through apyUSD and U.S. Treasury yield through aptUSD. Different risks, different uses, but seamlessly accessible through the same DeFi platform. That gives $APYX a clear thesis: participation in the economics of bringing those income streams onchain, with a planned share of reserve growth for stakers. NFA. DYOR.
