5 reasons why FARTCOIN is rising faster than everything else

Coin TelegraphBy Coin TelegraphApril 17, 20250 ViewsNo Comments

Fartcoin (FARTCOIN), a Solana-based memecoin launched in October 2024, has soared over 370% from its yearly low, outperforming Bitcoin (BTC) even as global trade tensions weigh on broader risk assets.

These are the five key reasons why FARTCOIN is rising faster than top cryptocurrencies.

PEPE boom similarities fuel FARTCOIN hype

FARTCOIN’s recent surge mirrors the early stages of Pepe’s (PEPE) meteoric rise.

In 2023, PEPE launched with a rapid ascent to a $1.8 billion market cap before crashing down to $255 million, according to the PEPE/WETH weekly chart.

From there, it bottomed out, consolidated, and then entered a second, even more powerful rally that carried it beyond a $4 billion valuation.

The euphoric pump, harsh correction, and quiet accumulation phase look similar to what FARTCOIN is showing now.

The Solana memecoin peaked near $2.4 billion earlier this year before undergoing a brutal drawdown. Its valuation dropped to around $365 million, forming a rounded bottom pattern.

From there, FARTCOIN has steadily climbed back, reaching about $949 million this week. That is strikingly similar to PEPE’s post-hype accumulation phase in 2023.

“I genuinely think there’s a chance Fartcoin repeats the PEPE playbook and pulls some crazy multiples from here,” wrote market analyst MacroCRG, citing the PEPE memecoin fractal.

Fartcoin’s social media hype spikes 500%

FARTCOIN appears to be riding a fresh wave of speculative mania, with social media metrics revealing a sharp rise in online activity.

FARTCOIN’s social volume (orange line) surged by nearly 500% in early April, preceding its 100%-plus gains in the month, according to data resource LunarCrush.

As of April 17, the engagement had cooled slightly, albeit remaining elevated at 177% above baseline.

Social dominance (purple) and social contributors (blue) have both trended higher, up 162% and 136%, respectively.

Rising social media activity in crypto markets often correlates with increased speculative interest, particularly in meme-driven assets.

While not a guaranteed indicator of future price action, a surge in social metrics can reflect growing community engagement and heightened visibility, factors that are now coinciding with sharp moves in FARTCOIN.

Fartcoin OI jumps over 500%

Fartcoin’s open interest (OI) in the futures market has jumped by around 504% so far in 2025, according to data resource CoinGlass. A rising OI indicates a massive influx of capital and attention from traders.

In contrast, Bitcoin’s OI has declined by 10.5% during the same period, reflecting reduced speculative interest in the leading crypto asset.

Adding to the bullish case, FARTCOIN’s funding rates have remained largely positive throughout April, showing that more traders are betting on the price going up than down.

Periods of negative funding rates in the FARTCOIN futures market have consistently aligned with disproportionately large short liquidations, highlighting the risks of betting against this popular memecoin.

A clear example occurred on April 9, when FARTCOIN’s eight-hour funding rate plunged to -0.023%, signaling a wave of bearish sentiment as traders aggressively shorted the token.

But in a classic short squeeze, FARTCOIN surged by nearly 50% the same day, triggering $9.16 million in short liquidations, compared to just $2.52 million in longs.

This stark imbalance underscores a growing pattern: When too many traders lean bearish, FARTCOIN often moves sharply against them.

As a result, short sellers appear to be treading carefully, as excessive pessimism has repeatedly backfired, turning negative funding into a setup for explosive upside moves.

Fartcoin is founderless

Fartcoin’s rise reflects more than just meme-fueled hype—it stems from a unique narrative that actively blends AI innovation with internet absurdity.

New Zealand-based AI researcher Andy Ayrey created an AI agent called the Terminal of Truth, which conceived Fartcoin as part of an experiment in merging artificial intelligence with blockchain humor.

This unusual origin story has caught the attention of traders looking to capitalize on the intersection of AI and crypto, positioning Fartcoin as more than just a typical memecoin.

“Unlike most AI plays, it lives free of the execution risks and technical complexity of infra tokens *and* free of the fatigue and noise around tokenized agents,” wrote analyst Ben in December 2024, adding:

“This simplicity coupled with absurdity is the perfect recipe for reflexivity: higher price = higher absurdity = higher attention = higher price.”

Fartcoin’s team continues to build its brand around viral internet culture, planning a Goatse-inspired film to further fuel engagement.

It pushes the absurdity even further by incorporating a digital fart sound into its “Gas Fee” system—turning transaction costs into a deliberately crude punchline that reinforces its meme-first identity.

In doing so, Fartcoin has leveraged novelty and narrative to attract speculative capital without relying on a roadmap, founder figure or utility.

This strategy possibly explains why it has continued to gain momentum while many other tokens stall.

Fartcoin price technicals hint at 100% gains next

FARTCOIN’s price rally also has strong technical backing.

The four-hour chart of FARTCOIN/USDT shows an inverse head-and-shoulders pattern, a classic bullish reversal signal that often marks the end of a downtrend and the beginning of a sustained upward move.

This formation includes a left shoulder formed in early February, a deeper head in mid-March, and a right shoulder in early April, all anchored around a horizontal neckline around $0.63.

The pattern confirmed its breakout on April 10 when FARTCOIN surged above the neckline with strong volume. Following the breakout, the price has held above key moving averages — the 50-EMA and 200-EMA — while consolidating just under the $0.90 level.

Based on the distance from the head to the neckline, the measured move projection points to an upside target near $1.96, up by over 100% compared to current price levels.

This breakout adds a layer of technical confirmation to the ongoing rally, supporting the view that FARTCOIN’s momentum is narrative-driven and structurally supported by bullish chart patterns.
