In one of the most bizarre yet oddly fitting twists in crypto history, $FARTCOIN, a memecoin built on Solana and fueled by irreverent humor, pumped 10.8% to $1.04—defying a broader market downturn that’s been rattled by geopolitical tensions and a massive $6 trillion iron ore discovery in Australia.

What triggered the rally? Coinbase announced it’s adding $FARTCOIN to its asset roadmap, signaling potential future listing on the major U.S. exchange. The news sent a ripple—no, a blast—through the memecoin world, reigniting the ongoing debate over whether meme tokens are the future of finance or just digital punchlines.

A Fart Heard Around the Blockchain

The rally kicked off after CoinGecko posted a chart highlighting $FARTCOIN’s surge. The token, infamous for including a digital fart sound effect with every transaction via its “Gas Fee” system, is no stranger to headlines. Launched on October 24, 2024, as part of the experimental AI project Terminal of Truth (ToT), $FARTCOIN rewards users for submitting fart-themed jokes, memes, and content—turning crude humor into community currency.

Within hours of Coinbase’s roadmap update, trading volume exploded by 300%, and the price spiked 45% before cooling to its current $1.04 level. The token’s market cap now sits at $1.04 billion, with 999,998,256 tokens in circulation—almost maxing out its 1 billion token supply.

Chaos Everywhere, Fartcoin Rises

While most of the crypto market gasped for air, $FARTCOIN kept inflating. Bitcoin fell back toward $100K amid investor uncertainty tied to a 55-billion-ton iron ore discovery in Western Australia—worth $6 trillion and shaking up commodities, steel, and global markets (Sustainability Times).

Meanwhile, $FARTCOIN’s absurdity became its superpower. As @CryptoCowboy_AU put it:

“Whole market taking a sht but #FARTCOIN still farts.”*

And @0xRamonos summed it up:

“The world is collapsing, meanwhile Coinbase just listed Fartcoin.”

The Big Picture: Memecoins vs. the Market

Whether it’s $PEPE, $TRUMP, or $FARTCOIN, 2025 has proven that memecoins remain market movers, especially in turbulent times. Following Donald Trump’s re-election in 2024, meme tokens exploded in popularity, with Trump’s own $TRUMP token hitting a $27 billion cap before crashing back to Earth.

$FARTCOIN peaked at $2.52 in January 2025, but even after a 65% drop, it has retained community loyalty. Its gamified, joke-driven model—combined with tight tokenomics (69,420,000 supply, per Mobee.io)—has kept it alive in a space where most memes fade fast.

But as regulators tighten the noose, especially in regions like Thailand (which banned memecoins in 2021), the question looms: can fart jokes fuel financial freedom—or is it all just hot air?

What’s Next for $FARTCOIN?

With Coinbase potentially paving the way for official trading, and whispers of other exchanges following suit, $FARTCOIN may keep blasting ahead—at least for now. But as with any memecoin, volatility is the only guarantee.

If you’re curious, $FARTCOIN is available on platforms like Mobee and can be tracked on CoinGecko. Just remember: in crypto, one person’s joke is another’s jackpot—or rug pull.
