Fartcoin is popular among traders at a time when big coins have been severely damaged and others have fallen in value.

Meme Coin Mania Returns: Fartcoin, Buttcoin & Titcoin Surge on Solana
Fartcoin‘s simplicity and ridiculousness appear to have influenced other successful meme coins on the Solana blockchain, as Buttcoin and Titcoin, which both have logos that flip the Bitcoin “B” sideways to resemble breasts and buttocks, are rising in value. According to Nay, their success is a result of the common cryptocurrency practice of building on previous achievements.
This is just a continuation we see across all of crypto with forked projects. As soon as someone sees something successful, they try to recreate a very similar version to draft on the first iteration’s success: Uniswap to Sushi Swap, Ohm to Abracadabra, etc.
