Fartcoin (FARTCOIN) has emerged as the new cryptocurrency growth story of 2025, defying macroeconomic pressures that have deflated many of the space’s major coins.
What happened: The Solana (CRYPTO: SOL)-based token soared 121%, becoming the second-highest cryptocurrency gainer in the last 30 days. FARTCOIN added over $600 million to its market capitalization in this period.
The performance dwarfs the returns of market giants like Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE), which rose 7.80% and 4.5%, respectively, over the month.
Notably, the growth came amid mounting fears of a recession, induced by President Donald Trump's sweeping tariff measures against key trade partners.

Social analytics firm LunarCrush highlighted how social mentions for the coin increased in the run-up to the price rise, indicating a link between social activity and price swings.
