This week, the market-leading meme coins Dogecoin and Shiba Inu have taken losses, but Fartcoin has pushed ahead unfazed.

Solana-based meme coins continue to rise despite market jitters this week.

According to data from Token Terminal, Fartcoin has jumped 4% in the last 24 hours and Solaxy has just crossed the $33 million mark in its presale.

This makes Solaxy the largest Solana ICO ever.

Its token, $SOLX, is expected to be listed on major exchanges shortly after the presale ends.

Expert Forecasts Near 50% Fartcoin Rally

One trader who predicted Fartcoin’s previous rally believes it’s set for another strong uptick in the coming days.

Gem Insider wrote on X that Fartcoin is preparing for a rally toward $1.6.

The analyst claims to have backed Fartcoin when it traded below $0.3 in March and says that the current market structure gives similarly bullish signals.

kept telling you to buy #fartcoin sub $0.3 when the chart broke out congrats to the few people who listened! 😳

Meanwhile, analyst UB says “something exciting is going on,” because while the Bitcoin chart looks relatively bearish, Fartcoin shows signs of a breakout.

It’s worth paying close attention to the fact that Fartcoin displays strength while other cryptos struggle, because this resembles exactly what happened before its last rally. If history repeats, then we may see Fartcoin make strong gains in the coming weeks.

Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas picked up on this phenomenon in early April, noting that on a day where everything from Bitcoin to treasuries was in the red – Fartcoin gained 8%.

Speaking of which, Fartcoin up 8% again today. Literally everything is down, even treasuries and gold. Bitcoin and Ether both in gutter. Can someone explain this? pic.twitter.com/h5m2xmB0m1

But Fartcoin is not the only Solana meme coin performing well right now. Another example is Gork, a meme coin inspired by Elon Musk’s AI model Grok. Gork has gained over 60% this week.

Meanwhile, Solaxy, a new cryptocurrency building Solana’s first-ever layer 2 blockchain, has raised 33 million in its ongoing token presale. This makes it the largest Solana ICO ever.

Solaxy Tipped to 10X As Presale Raise Smashes $33M

Solaxy is aiming to solve Solana’s throughput issues and provide cheaper, faster, and more reliable transactional throughput.

The project’s main focus is on bolstering Solana’s memetic activity. It uses meme coin branding and says its “customizability and transaction bundling make high volume meme coin trading infinitely scaleable.”

Solaxy will use off-chain computation and transaction bundling technology to become faster than Solana, aiming for a staggering 10,000 transactions per second (TPS). For reference, Solana is capable of 6,500 TPS, and Ethereum is capable of 12 TPS.

This means that Solaxy could potentially be the home to Solana’s next breakout meme coins and applications. Imagine Pump.fun had lower fees, or if Bonk’s automated trading bot was cheaper. It could open a world of new meme coin-related possibilities.

Investors clearly see value in the project’s use case, reflected by the presale’s record-breaking raise. However, this has also attracted the attention of leading industry analysts. For instance, Jacob Bury from the 99Bitcoins YouTube channel
