In doing so, Fartcoin has surpassed legacy Solana meme coin Bonk (BONK) to become the second largest meme coin on the network. It is now closing in on Official Trump (TRUMP), which is currently the largest meme coin on Solana.
What is Fartcoin?
Fartcoin was birthed by Truth Terminal, an AI agent that gained in popularity due to its edgy humor expressed via its X (formerly known as Twitter) account.
Last year, Truth Terminal received a $50,000 grant in Bitcoin from venture capital giant Marc Andreessen when the agent started theorizing the perfect meme coin—one of which was Fartcoin.
Marc Andreessen Sends $50K in Bitcoin to an AI Bot on Twitter
Marc Andreessen just tossed $50,000 at an AI bot, and as any good tech leader would, he paid in Bitcoin. The Silicon Valley mogul and Andreessen Horowitz co-founder decided to play Santa Claus with cryptocurrency, gifting a tidy sum to an AI agent on X (aka Twitter) called the “Truth Terminal.” This isn't your average AI bot. It operates in a twilight zone of semi-autonomy, with its human handler merely approving its Twitter posts and deciding who it gets to interact with. Somehow, this digital...
Crypto degens launched Fartcoin on meme coin factory Pump.fun, with the token soaring to a $2.15 billion market cap over three months—before tumbling with the rest of the market amid the unfolding LIBRA scandal and U.S. President Trump’s trade war.
Since Fartcoin bottomed out at a $217 million market cap in March, it has soared 388.91%—becoming one of the best-performing assets amid treacherous macro market conditions. By comparison, according to CoinGecko, Bitcoin (BTC) has only risen 8.7% over a similar period.
Bybit CEO: Two-Thirds of Funds From $1.4B Lazarus Group Hack Still Traceable
Over two-thirds of the $1.4 billion stolen in the largest crypto hack to date, the Bybit breach, remains traceable, despite hackers using an array of mixing services to cover their tracks, according to a new update from the exchange’s CEO. In an executive summary tweeted Monday, Bybit CEO Ben Zhou broke down the flow of roughly 500,000 ETH stolen in February, revealing that 68.57% of the funds remain traceable, 27.59% have “gone dark”, and 3.84% have been frozen with the help of exchanges. 4.21...
Rival meme coin Bonk has climbed just 3.9% over the past 30 days, according to CoinGecko, leaving room for Fartcoin to surpass it and break into the top five meme coins by market capitalization. Ahead of Fartcoin in the meme coin rankings are Dogecoin (DOGE), Shiba Inu (SHIB), Pepe (PEPE), and Official Trump (TRUMP).
Since Trump took power and he started his trade war, his official meme coin has taken some of the biggest hits. For example, when the President announced major global tariffs on Liberation Day, TRUMP tanked 15% while Bitcoin slipped just 5.2%. Over the past 30 days, TRUMP has tumbled by 21.6%.
Now, Fartcoin sits just $700 million away in market cap—an amount that it has added to its market cap in just over a month. Were it to overtake TRUMP, the silly AI-manifested token would become the largest meme coin on Solana.
