Pump.fun Launch Pulse — New Tokens per Hour

The trader question: "Is launchpad activity heating up or cooling down? When are people actually deploying tokens?"

A single sentence to the agent gives you the answer for any launchpad on any chain.

Ask the Agent​

"Using the Bitquery MCP, count distinct new tokens that traded on Pump.fun per hour over the last 36 hours. Plot the trend."

Result (live data, 2026-04-23 snapshot, last 36 hours)​

Pump.fun new tokens per hour, last 36 hours

Window (UTC)Avg new tokens / hrPeak hourPeak count
Day -1 (00:00 → 23:59)2,10820:002,698
Day 0 (00:00 → now)1,48911:001,736

Two patterns emerge from the chart:

  1. Strong diurnal cycle — launches cluster around 15:00–22:00 UTC (US morning + EU evening), tail off through the Asia overnight.
  2. Day-over-day deceleration — Day 0 is running ~30% slower than Day −1. That's the kind of signal a discretionary trader would pair with sentiment data to call a meta cooldown.

What This Tells a Trader​

  • Launchpad activity is your meta thermometer. Sustained launch counts above the baseline suggest fresh capital and risk-on sentiment; falling counts often precede a quieter trading session.
  • There's a clock to launches. US morning + EU evening hours produce the most activity. If you're sniping or providing liquidity to fresh launches, that's when to focus.
  • You can apply the same lens to any launchpad. Just say "do the same for LetsBonk" or "compare Pump.fun and FourMeme" — see the Solana and BSC sections for the full set.
