Solana (SOL) has sparked excitement among crypto investors with a 19% price surge this week, driving a wave of gains across its ecosystem. One standout is Fartcoin (FART), a popular Solana-based meme coin, which soared nearly 30% during the same period. This upward momentum follows Upexi Inc.’s massive $273 million SOL purchase and the launch of Jito Labs’ BAM protocol, both reinforcing confidence in the network.

Fartcoin’s futures market is particularly hot, with open interest surpassing $1 billion — roughly 65% of its $1.66 billion market cap — outpacing heavyweights like Litecoin and Chainlink. This surge highlights speculative retail trading fueled by its bullish breakout above $175 resistance.
