Forget Dogecoin, Shiba Inu—Fartcoin Emerges As 'Recession Hedge' With Surging Strength

While most of the crypto market bleeds, Fartcoin FARTCOIN/USD is defying gravity. For the second straight day, it has posted strong double-digit gains, fueled by an unexpected surge in smart money interest and whale accumulation.

According to Stalkchain data, one unusually large retail-sized buy—worth $1 million—helped propel Fartcoin above $0.5254, widening the gap from key liquidation levels.
