In a twist that keeps amusing and astonishing, FARTCOIN—a memecoin that was launched on Solana—has crossed the line from being a joke to something that could actually be considered a serious cryptocurrency.
Its market cap has surged so high that it has managed to “flip” several established blockchain projects. And now momentum has kicked in, and it’s continuing to surge. Certainly, a very weird story.

In a major milestone for the project, Coinbase Advanced has declared that it will list perpetual futures for $FARTCOIN, making it among the very few memecoins to receive support at an institutional level. The new derivatives market for FARTCOIN is slated to open on or after June 12, 2025, at 9:30 AM UTC, and could very well attract some serious traders and boost the coin’s liquidity.
A Breakout Moment: From Trendline to Takeoff
From a technical perspective, FARTCOIN has recently emerged from a long-established descending trendline, a chart setup that numerous traders had been observing with interest. This breakout is a classic harbinger of a potential bullish reversal and might reflect a change in the general market structure.
FARTCOIN is no longer just a novelty: its sustained performance and breakout patterns now suggest more than just hype. The memecoin has a solid support base, and thanks to an uptick in trading volume, it’s earning a reputation as more than just a collective joke. Many folks who parse price action and patterns for a living think this move could trigger a second wave of liquidy-fueled speculative inflows as new buyers jump on the trend and its confirmation.
Building momentum has been happening over the past few weeks, and the latest listing news from Coinbase has only added fire to the already blazing FARTCOIN hype train. When you add this to the on-chain data we have been tracking for the past few months and the coinciding uptick in retail market participation, FARTCOIN is now thrust into a moment that could serve to redefine its long-term market presence.
Phantom Sees FARTCOIN Take the Lead in Token Swaps
FARTCOIN was the top-performing token swapped on Solana’s Phantom wallet last week, according to a tweet from the crypto wallet and decentralized finance (DeFi) interface company. Phantom’s user base, which now numbers more than 2 million, serves as a way to gauge not only the health of Solana as a blockchain ecosystem but also the DeFi space and Solana’s community in general. Swapping a token isn’t the same as buying it. Still, it’s impressive that an obviously unserious cryptocurrency outperformed so many others that take themselves seriously.
Millions of swaps. One leaderboard. Here are the top tokens swapped on Phantom last week…

2. Mask 😺 🎭
3. Launchcoin 🚀

Data from Phantom indicates that FARTCOIN is not merely drawing interest—it’s being traded and utilized. High transaction volume on wallets such as Phantom strongly suggests that a combination of speculative trading, peer-to-peer transfer, and community engagement are in play. These three elements are absolutely critical for the long-term success of a memecoin.
The excellent showing in the decentralized venues indicates that the project has also found a real home with regular crypto users, not just bots and big-time traders. That sort of everyday participation is a reliable sign that a Solana-based memecoin has leveled up.
From Meme to Market Force
FARTCOIN’s name might still get a few giggles, but its numbers are no joke. With a market capitalization that now exceeds that of several Layer 1 chains, the token is now way too big to be regarded simply as a comic digital asset. Yeah, it’s a digital asset governed by a funny, silly premise, but half of life is about laughing your way through funny, silly premises. And FARTCOIN could be a way for lots of digital dude-bros to mask their farting away through the virtual roads of the metaverse.
Coinbase’s decision to launch a new market for the trading of perpetual futures contracts on its platform is especially significant because perpetual futures attract an advanced class of trader—those seeking leverage and larger, short-term opportunities. Once these markets go live, the underlyings’ price discovery process could kick into a whole new gear, possibly increasing both volatility and volume.
Currently, FARTCOIN is changing the landscape of memecoins. It has gone from being a mere meme to leading the market, flipping major blockchain projects, dominating decentralized exchanges, and attracting the kind of attention from institutions that ‘serious’ projects usually get—all in a very short time.
For skeptics, the ascent of FARTCOIN might appear to be a joke, but for the first-round investors and the shrewd traders, it is doing the opposite of what a punchline usually does: it’s making them money. As we count down to June 12, when FARTCOIN will presumably either take off or … ya know, not, the moment will be one worth keeping an eye on.
