FARTCOIN Pumps 30%—Market Cap Now Above $1.2 Billion

Published January 31, 2025

Yes, you read that right. FARTCOIN, the meme coin you have never even heard of, has just gone up 30%, and its market cap has surged back over $1.2 billion. Some are arguing that it is evidence of meme coin strength; others are simply scratching their heads. In any case, it is a number big enough that people cannot help but take note.

What’s the Deal?

FARTCOIN is once again in the limelight after a short decline, showing that although the name may be ridiculous, a loyal community can drive significant growth. The word on the street in the space is that a few whales have come in with a lot of money, which has set off a chain reaction for the hype traders. Or, it could be the cute charm—sometimes, all it takes in the cryptocurrency wilderness is a little ‘FART’.

A Giggle or a Goldmine?

At 100x, we know that meme stocks can be risers one day, and drags the next. It’s a 30% increase for FARTCOIN, and while it’s impressive, we’ve been around long enough to know that these gains can evaporate as quickly as a flick of the ‘sell’ button.

  • Pros: The community is lively, the developers seem to be quite active, and the name itself is a free advertisement.
  • Con: Meme coins operate on sentiment as much as they do on anything else, and once the hype is gone, so goes the price.

Rules We Live By At 100x

  • Don’t Chase Pumps: If you are going to dive in, make sure to have a way out.
  • DYOR: Check the liquidity and be on the lookout for any large transactions that could be a whale trying to manipulate the market. FARTCOIN may be enjoyable, but it is also real money.
  • Stay Grounded: A billion-dollar market cap is incredible, of course. However, if there are no real fundamentals, then the momentum can easily shift at the drop of a hat.

Final Word

FARTCOIN’s comeback is a clear indication that in crypto, even the most absurdly named tokens can grab people’s attention—and real money. It’s just a reminder that while some meme-fueled green candles can be fun, they can also turn into cautionary tales. Keep your eyes open, 100x crew. It’s easy to get carried away in this kind of environment, but we shouldn’t get too carried away.
