What Makes $FARTCOIN Special According to Crypto Users

Prominent crypto trader Brandong Hong describes FARTCOIN as "the most bullish meme I've seen in years." He said the meme token "checks off every box" compared to other memecoins.

First, he noted how the token highlights the crypto and AI narrative. The convergence of artificial intelligence and crypto has been of interest in the crypto space in recent months, especially with the rise of "Bitcoin for AI" Bittensor.

Hong also pointed out that the FARTCOIN has "news headline potential" and it has huge appeal to retail crypto investors due to its hilarious name.

Another trader who goes by Dragos, said FARTCOIN has evolved from being just an AI memecoin to become "one of the purest and best memes crypto has ever seen."

Well-followed Kook believes the token has the potential to "get more normie clicks than any other headlines" and will then become the "biggest meme of the cycle." In crypto, normies are individuals who aren't into crypto or haven't been involved in the industry yet.

Aside from passing $800 million in market capitalization, FARTCOIN has also flipped Goatseus Maximus (GOAT), a new meme token that had been a favorite among whales over the past week. FARTCOIN is now the 6th largest memecoin by market value on the Solana blockchain.

The Fartcoin official X account has also been gaining much engagement through its jolly posts that the community ultimately loves.

While FARTCOIN is up over 100% in the past seven days, XRP is down 2% and SOL is underperforming even more with a 3.3% decrease as per CoinGecko data.
