The post Coinbase Listing Hype Sends Fartcoin Back Into Top 100 appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Fartcoin is back in the spotlight! The joke-themed token jumped 12% in just one day after Coinbase added it to its listing roadmap. This doesn’t mean it’s listed yet, but it’s a strong hint, and usually, tokens on the roadmap go live within a few weeks. Traders are already betting it will follow the same pattern.
Coinbase Hype Pushes Price Up
Following the news, the token went up by 372% from its yearly low, with trading volume doubling to $414 million and its market cap reclaiming the $1 billion mark. The surge comes even as broader crypto sentiment dips, shaken by rising political tensions between Donald Trump and Elon Musk over digital asset regulation and economic policy.
Fartcoin’s price rose to $1.06, bouncing back from a recent dip. This surge helped it enter the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market value.
From a Joke to a Cult Favorite
Fartcoin started as a joke. It was created in October 2024 when someone used just 2 SOL on Pump.fun to mint 1 billion coins. Most of it was sold within seconds. Still, the token caught on. It became a funny, light-hearted coin that many in the crypto world love during tough times.
However, now, Fartcoin is on track to post its first positive quarterly return by the end of June, marking a major turnaround from its rough start to the year. After recording a -51% drop in Q1, Fartcoin has bounced back with a 132.5% gain so far in Q2, according to CryptoRank. The rebound follows a dramatic 735% surge to $1.64 after crashing to $0.20 in April due to tariff-related fears. Still, a 43% pullback from those highs led to a weaker May performance, which ended down 13.4%.
Meanwhile, retail excitement around Fartcoin got another boost with a massive whale activity. According to smart money tracker Stalkchain, a large investor recently bought nearly $3 million worth of FARTCOIN, adding fuel to the buying momentum. These kinds of big moves from experienced players often spark more confidence among retail traders and can lead to sharp price jumps.
Laughs Over Utility
Fartcoin has no serious tech or real-world use. Instead, users can earn coins by submitting memes or jokes, and each trade even makes a “fart” sound. It’s all about humor and fun, not about changing the world.
With Coinbase now eyeing it, Fartcoin could get more attention. And while it may not have deep value, it sure knows how to make some noise, literally and on the charts.
