Justin Sun’s NFT marketplace, AINFT, and his memecoin platform, Sun Pump, are struggling to find traction. In the past 30 days, AINFT facilitated only four NFT sales, while Sun Pump launched just 57 tokens. That’s a stark contrast to the hype surrounding both platforms when they launched.
AINFT, which describes itself as “The Biggest $NFT Trading Platform on TRON,” has seen very little activity. This week alone, it managed only two $NFT sales. The marketplace originally started as APENFT in 2021 before rebranding to include an AI-focused name in 2025. Today, it’s essentially a ghost town.
Sales numbers paint a bleak picture
Across the last 30 days, only four $NFT sales from two collections have been recorded. The total volume? Just 5,434 TRON, which is around $1,775. To put that in perspective, a single popular NFT collection on other blockchains often sees thousands of dollars in volume within minutes.
Meanwhile, Sun Pump, the memecoin platform, isn’t doing much better. During that same period, only 57 tokens have been launched. Some days see as little as one token launched. That’s according to Dune Analytics, which also notes that the firm only made $196 in revenue across the last seven days. On June 10, Sun Pump made just $3.
Lack of diversity in memecoins
The range of memecoins isn’t particularly diverse either. On Sun Pump’s homepage, 18 of the 36 displayed coins are Sun-themed. The majority of the others are either based around USDT or a moustache. That lack of variety might be a factor in the low engagement.
It’s worth noting that Sun’s ventures have seen better days. The broader NFT market has cooled significantly since the 2021 boom, and memecoins, while occasionally explosive, are notoriously volatile and short-lived. Perhaps the platforms are simply victims of the current market sentiment. Or maybe the problem is more specific: the rebranding might have confused users, or the lack of unique offerings could be driving people away.
Either way, the numbers are clear. For now, both AINFT and Sun Pump are struggling to attract buyers and creators. Whether they can turn things around remains an open question.
