FARTCOIN originated from the Terminal of Truth platform, inspired by the absurd AI dialogue that Musk likes to fart. Fartcoin went live on October 18th, coinciding with the peak popularity of GOAT, a token in the same field, and naturally gained attention. The birth of Fartcoin is a tribute to humor culture. As an AI Meme project, it is not only an experiment for the future of AI, but also combines light-hearted humor culture with modern technology worship. Whenever a new joke is generated, Fartcoin becomes the annotation of this cultural carnival, showcasing the intersection of technology and entertainment.

As the creator of the AI meme concept, GOAT has over 45,000 followers on X, while Fartcoin, as a latecomer, has more than 63,000 followers. According to PANews analysis, Sigil Fund may be a major promoter of Fartcoin. The fund purchased a large amount of tokens within 5 hours of the token launch, accounting for 10% of the total, laying the foundation for Fartcoin’s early growth.
The rise of Fartcoin signifies a shift in the AI meme coin market from relying on social hotspots to being driven by capital. Its success relies more on early capital layout and concentrated buying by major players, rather than social media popularity or celebrity effect. For retail investors, this pattern may mean higher risks and more elusive opportunities.
Fartcoin’s market value surpassed $1 billion in December and reached a historical high of $2.7 billion on January 20th. According to Gate.io market data, FARTCOIN is currently priced at $0.54, down 80% from its peak of $2.74. FARTCOIN’s current circulating market value is $540 million, ranking 117th in the overall market. The recent cryptocurrency market has experienced a general pullback, with BTC still hovering around $98,000. However, early popular AI Agent tokens have fallen by around 80%.
