Fartcoin Surges 12% After Coinbase Adds Token to Listing Roadmap
Despite no official launch date yet announced, tokens featured on Coinbase’s listing roadmap often go live within weeks — and traders are betting Fartcoin (FARTCOIN) will follow suit.
Injecting some humor into an otherwise gloomy crypto market, Fartcoin rallied 12% over 24 hours, recovering from earlier losses triggered by Pump.fun activity. The boost came after Coinbase included FARTCOIN on its listing roadmap, signaling possible spot trading soon.
According to CoinGecko, Fartcoin’s price climbed to $1.06 on an unprecedented $400 million in trading volume, propelling the token into the top 100 by market capitalization.
Coinbase’s listing roadmap serves as a watchlist for upcoming token additions. Although no official go-live date is confirmed, history shows that tokens on the roadmap typically debut within a few weeks — a pattern traders now expect for FARTCOIN.
On June 5, Coinbase also added Subsquid (SQD) alongside Fartcoin to the roadmap.
Fartcoin’s origins are as playful as its name suggests. On October 18, 2024, an anonymous Solana wallet minted 1 billion FARTCOIN tokens on Pump.fun, spending a mere 2 SOL ($147), then quickly sold most of the supply within half a minute.
The token quickly became a quirky emblem of crypto absurdity and a lighthearted counterpoint to bleak macroeconomic forecasts. While Fartcoin holds no intrinsic utility, it has amassed a devoted cult following that has sparked buying interest during market downturns. The token previously peaked at $2.68 in January 2025.
Users can submit themed memes or jokes on Fartcoin’s platform to earn tokens, and each transaction amusingly triggers a digital flatulence sound.
Investors don’t buy Fartcoin for technological breakthroughs or practical use cases, but for the fun and shared laughter it brings — a comic relief that breaks the tension in a market often dominated by uncertainty.
