Fartcoin surged over 4% on Wednesday, outperforming legacy meme coins like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, according to Stalkchain. The Solana-based cryptocurrency was the most purchased token by savvy money investors, rising nearly 200% over the past month. Its meteoric climb contrasts sharply with a broader meme coin market that moved mostly sideways. The rise in meme coin interest came as traditional markets slumped due to tariff-driven inflation fears highlighted by Fed Chair Jerome Powell.
