Fartcoin Continued to Outpace Legacy Meme Coins Like Dogecoin

Fartcoin, a Solana-based cryptocurrency, continued to outpace legacy meme coins like Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) and Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: SHIB), registering rallies that defied market trends.

What Happened: The Solana (CRYPTO: SOL)-based cryptocurrency spiked over 4% to become the most successful meme coin in the last 24 hours.

In fact, Fartcoin was the most purchased token by smart money investors, as highlighted by the on-chain tracking platform Stalkchain.

The humorously named cryptocurrency has emerged as the king of meme coins, rising 194% in a month marked by tariff-induced fear and market decline. Just for context, meme giants such as Dogecoin and Shiba Inu fell by more than 7% within the same period.

On the other hand, Dogecoin, the world’s largest meme coin by market value, exhibited sideways movement in the last 24 hours.

The broader meme coin sector also drifted horizontally, registering a market capitalization gain of 0.13%.

The cryptocurrency market held up well Wednesday, even as equities witnessed sharp sell-offs following tariff-fueled inflation concerns raised by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.
