Fartcoin surges at the time of the most significant market crash of 2025. While stocks and major cryptocurrencies tumbled, the Solana-based meme coin rose sharply, surprising everyone. The meme coin saw an unexpected 30% price increase, while major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum saw sharp declines. It stood out on a day when most investors were in a panic, drawing interest from traders, analysts, and cryptocurrency enthusiasts.
Most major coins, especially those on the Solana network like BONK and Dogwifhat, dropped sharply during the broader market sell-off. But the memecoin moved in the opposite direction, showing what experts called a “rare decoupling” from Bitcoin and the rest of the crypto market. While Bitcoin fell below $75,000 after a brief bump on fake news of a tariff pause, it climbed steadily.
A major factor is a 159% spike in trading volume, with more than $370 million in trades. This shows heavy interest and engagement from traders, even as the broader sentiment was bearish. While many meme coins are known for unpredictable surges, it has a history of outperforming during chaos. That trend seems to be continuing in 2025.
According to the CoinMarketCap Fartcoin's price is currently floating at $0.5839 after an amazing price rise of 30.02% in the last 24 hours. Its market cap also rises by 30.02% and went to $583.91 million with a trade volume of $375 million after a rise of 106.35% in the last 24 hours. The coin went from $0.4179 to $0.6057 in just 24 hours. This price surge occurred just after the biggest market crash of 2025, also called Black Monday.

The rise of memecoin may also be tied to renewed energy in the Solana ecosystem, especially from the rebranding of the popular meme launchpad PumpFun. Solana launched PumpFi which is a new liquidity tool, and PumpSwap which is a decentralized exchange for meme coins. These tools make it simple for users to buy and trade tokens like Fartcoin. This could help the coin's price go up even more.
As these new projects rolled out, excitement returned to Solana-based memecoins. While other top tokens struggled, the memecoin gained attention as a potential leader in a new memecoin rally. With social media pushing jokes like “hot air rises,” and meme culture in full swing, traders may be betting on the coin to keep rising despite the market chaos. In this way, the token’s price growth is being powered by both speculation and ecosystem support.
It could keep rising if the current trend continues. Some experts think it might reach $1.4 or even $2 soon. The coin has done well during past market drops. New projects like PumpFun and PumpSwap, along with talks of a Solana ETF, are bringing more attention to the Solana network. This growing interest could help Fartcoin go even higher.
Still, caution is important. The industry is reacting to Trump’s new tariffs, and riskier assets like meme coins could face more ups and downs. But if things calm down and Solana continues to gain support, the coin might benefit even more.
