Crypto markets tanked Monday after traders spooked by President Trump's trade war quickly sold off risk assets. But one token is rising above the chaos: the Solana-based meme coin, Fartcoin.
The asset has jumped by about 10% over the past 24 hours, CoinGecko data shows, and was recently trading hands for close to $0.49. At one point on Monday morning Eastern Time, it was trading nearly as high as $0.55.
At its current price, Fartcoin is one of the rare cryptocurrencies showing gains over the last day amid widespread declines.
The meme coin's price bump comes even as other, well-established meme coins—such as Elon Musk's favorite, Dogecoin—have taken a hit: The original meme coin was recently priced at $0.145 after dropping by nearly 10% in a day.
In fact, most major meme coins—including Pepe, Shiba Inu, and Official Trump—are in the red right now.
U.S. equities tanked last week after President Trump announced 10% baseline tariffs on all trading partners, and a higher rate on other major economies such as China, the European Union, and Vietnam. The dollar dropped, and even gold—a well-established "safe-haven" asset—is down Monday.
Major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP surged suddenly alongside stocks Monday morning, amid purported word from a White House advisor that President Trump was considering a 90-day pause on global tariffs that have rocked the markets in recent days. But it turned out to be "fake news," as the White House told CNBC soon after—and now those gains are evaporating. Bitcoin is currently trading for $78,565, a 5% drop over the last day. The largest cryptocurrency was trading below $76,...
Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies soon followed suit, despite holding steady on Friday as stocks tanked. The biggest digital coin by market cap plunged when Asia markets opened.
Meme coins are cryptocurrencies that are often based on internet jokes, culture, and prominent figures. They are known for their major price movements in what is already a volatile asset class, and made headlines after crypto-friendly President Trump launched his own meme token, TRUMP, just days ahead of his inauguration.

As stocks crash and major cryptocurrencies get battered, Fartcoin's sudden rise could be a sign of the unpredictability yet to come. Monday's surge is already confusing and delighting investors and analysts alike across social media.
"Literally everything is down, even treasuries and gold. Bitcoin and Ether both in gutter. Can someone explain this?" Bloomberg Senior ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas wrote on X.

BlackRock aims to include staking in its spot Ethereum exchange-traded fund, according to a rules change request submitted on Thursday by Nasdaq, where the fund is listed, to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Adding staking functionality to the iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) would allow the product, which debuted last July, to earn yield by using the held ETH to validate transactions on the Ethereum blockchain, according to the 19b-4 proposal. Multiple issuers, including Fidelity, Gray...

Peter Thiel-backed BitMine Immersion now has over $1 billion worth of Ethereum after buying another $500 million this week in ETH, the company said in a statement Thursday. New York Stock Exchange-listed firm (BMNR) said that it now had 300,657 ETH. On Monday, the firm, which shifted its focus from Bitcoin mining to create an ETH treasury less than a month ago, said it had holdings of ETH worth $500 million. "Acquiring $1 billion of ETH is a clear signal of our conviction in Ethereum's long-te...
