Meme Coins Surge After Trump’s Tariff Pause — Fartcoin Leads with a 40% Pump

Meme Coins Rally as Fartcoin Leads Surge

The meme coin market experienced a significant upswing on Wednesday following former U.S. President Donald Trump’s unexpected 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs. The announcement sparked optimism across the broader crypto space, with meme coins seeing sharp gains.

Leading the rally was Solana-based Fartcoin, which surged over 40% in just 24 hours, bringing its market capitalization above $700 million and pushing its monthly gain to an impressive 221%—making it the top-performing token in the crypto market during this period.

Popular dog-themed tokens also rode the wave:

• Bonk (BONK) jumped nearly 14%
• Dogwifhat (WIF) climbed 9%
• Pepe (PEPE) saw an 11% increase.

Meanwhile, Dogecoin (DOGE) saw increased investor sentiment thanks to the launch of a new exchange-traded product (ETP) from 21Shares, now listed on Swiss exchanges.

The broader meme coin market cap grew by nearly 11% to reach $43.64 billion, with a $3.7 billion injection in the past day and total trading volume exceeding $7 billion.

Trump’s announcement offered some breathing room for crypto traders, especially in the speculative meme coin sector, fueling short-term bullish momentum.
