Fartcoin (FARTCOIN) has emerged as the new cryptocurrency growth story of 2025, defying macroeconomic pressures that have deflated many of the space’s major coins.
What happened: The Solana SOL/USD-based token soared 121%, becoming the second-highest cryptocurrency gainer in the last 30 days. FARTCOIN added over $600 million to its market capitalization in this period.
The performance dwarfs the returns of market giants like Bitcoin BTC/USD and Dogecoin DOGE/USD, which rose 7.80% and 4.5%, respectively, over the month.
Notably, the growth came amid mounting fears of a recession, induced by President Donald Trump's sweeping tariff measures against key trade partners.

Social analytics firm LunarCrush highlighted how social mentions for the coin increased in the run-up to the price rise, indicating a link between social activity and price swings.
Price Action: At the time of writing, FARTCOIN was exchanging hands at $1.16, up 14.91% in the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro. Year-to-date, the memecoin has spiked 24%.
