Memes
Meme tokens are one of the biggest sources of volume in tokenised stock pools, and rangebound tracks them for that reason.
Why memes matter to an LP
Launchpads such as StonkFun and pump.fun let anyone launch a token paired against a tokenised stock instead of SOL. Buying that meme in its pool against the stock means buying the stock token first, and selling it means selling the stock token after, so those trades route through the stock's own pools. Once a meme grows, though, it usually gets pools of its own against SOL, and trades there never touch the stock - see where a meme's volume trades.
That flow is valuable to LPs. Meme traders aren't trading on news about the stock or on a stale pool price, so their fees are mostly profit for LPs rather than a payment for being picked off. A stock with busy memes can see more swap volume from its memes than from direct traders.
What counts as a meme
rangebound counts a token as a meme of an asset when all of these hold:
- It has graduated. It left its launchpad's bonding curve and has a regular pool quoted in the stock token, on Raydium, PumpSwap, Meteora or Orca.
- It is tied to that asset. It came from a launchpad, or it trades against this one asset only. A general token that happens to have pools against a dozen stocks isn't counted as a meme of any of them.
- It isn't a honeypot. See Honeypot screen.
- It is worth at least $50,000 in market cap, or it traded at least $5,000 in the last day. Most clear both.
Its market cap is only shown as a figure to rely on when the token's own pool holds at least $10,000 of liquidity and at least 100 holders. Below that, a market cap is a thin pool quoting a price rather than a valuation, so it is marked thin: the number is still shown, but it never counts towards the band columns or a crossing alert.
That split matters. A meme that graduated yesterday routinely turns over a hundred times a pool of a few thousand dollars, and every one of those swaps in its pool against the stock crosses the stock's pools on the other side. Judging the market cap strictly and the trading generously is the only way to see both.
Tokens that are merely named after a stock but trade against SOL or USDC are not counted: their trades never touch the stock's pools.
Where a meme's volume trades
A meme's market cap says how big it is, not how much of its trading reaches the stock. Memes under $1 million trade almost all their volume against the stock they launched against. Bigger ones get pools of their own against SOL, and on 27 September 2026 the dozen memes over $1 million traded about 45% of their volume against the stock and 45% against SOL. A $15 million meme can send less flow to its stock than a $200,000 one.
So rangebound reads each meme's own pools on Raydium, Meteora and Orca and sorts their 24-hour volume by what trades on the other side:
- against the stock - the part that has to cross the stock's pools, and the part an LP there can be paid by;
- against SOL, including staked SOL;
- against dollars: USDC and the other verified stablecoins;
- anything else, mostly memes trading against each other.
Only pools holding at least $10,000 count, so a thin pool's churn doesn't read as flow. PumpSwap, Meteora's DAMM v2 and order books such as Manifest aren't read, so a meme trading mostly there shows less than it does.
Each meme also carries its icon, taken from the launchpads' own image services - Raydium's, then pump.fun's - and served from rangebound itself, so opening a list never contacts a host the meme's creator chose.
Where memes appear
- Assets: Meme mcap adds up the market cap of the memes whose pools can stand behind one. Meme vol is the 24-hour volume of the asset's memes against the stock itself, with a thin bar underneath showing where all of their volume traded: green against the stock, purple against SOL, blue against dollars, and the uncoloured rest against anything else. ≥$100k and ≥$1M count memes by market cap, and the Memes view adds ≥$50k and ≥$10M. Grads 24h counts memes that graduated against the asset in the last day. Hover either meme column for a table of the memes behind it: market cap, 24-hour volume on the pools read, and volume against the stock.
- Assets, top of page: Meme graduations 7d counts every graduation against any tracked asset in the last week.
- Pool page: the header strip names the two largest memes against the asset, and the side panel adds the volume traded against the stock and on the memes' own SOL pairs.

| Where each meme's volume trades (its pools on Raydium, Meteora and Orca) | Every 30 minutes |
| New graduations on Raydium | Every 10 minutes |
| New graduations on PumpSwap | Every 30 minutes |
| New pools on Meteora and Orca | Every 6 hours |
| Honeypot screen of each token | Daily |
Measured on 18 September 2026: a meme that graduates while rangebound is running is found in a median of 14 minutes, and 54 of 61 within the hour. Every known token's market cap and volume is re-read from Jupiter inside 5 minutes.
Alerts
rangebound sends alerts when a meme graduates against a tracked asset, when a meme first crosses $100,000 or $1,000,000 in market cap, and when a meme's hourly volume spikes. Crossing alerts use the strict market cap, so a thin-pool token never triggers one. See Alerts.
Why this can move a pool's numbers
A meme's volume spike shows up in its stock's pools within minutes: more volume, more fees, and often a better vol ratio. When a pool's fees jump for no reason on the stock itself, check its memes first. Follow the meme flow turns this into a routine.
