In the genteel parlors of financial television, where every word is weighed with the gravity of a pronouncement from Delphi, Brian Sullivan, that stalwart of the airwaves, declared with uncharacteristic fervor: The hottest crypto trade of the year is not Bitcoin, it is not Ether, it is XRP. One could almost hear the collective gasp of the audience, as if a provincial cousin had suddenly inherited the family estate.

DefiLlama’s data, that ever-loyal chronicler of crypto’s whims, reveals this surge was as specific as a poet’s muse-exclusive to the PUMP token, not a grand revival of pump.fun’s broader allure. 🪙
