Memecoin Market Sees Positive Net Inflow as Smart Money Backs Fartcoin and Other Tokens

DATE POSTED:April 10, 2025

On April 7, 2025, activity in the memecoin market among smart money took a sharp upswing, netting $2.9 million in inflows, which certainly turned some heads—especially those of institutional and high-net-worth individuals—for being just the sort of uptick those types of investors tend to be more secretive about.

The memecoin market being what it is, if one were to not read too much into that uptick and just take it at face value, then one could interpret it as a sign that these spaces have a decent shot at being survivable—if not outright profitable.

Smart Money’s Inflow Dominates the Memecoin Scene

Investors’ confidence is on the rise, as the influx of capital into the memecoin market on April 7 showed. This wasn’t just ordinary confidence; we saw $4.7 million make its way into the market, with various tokens soaking up the lifeblood of fresh investment. At the top of the list of these new tokens, with an inflow of inflows, was $FARTCOIN. That little guy saw $1.9 million pour in. Our new best friend within the memecoin market also boasts some serious attributes for a token: liquidity, trading volume, and community. Seriousness aside, it’s a pretty funny name for a token.

Other significant inflows included $GRASS, which experienced inflows of $597,000; $RETARDIO, which had $161,000; and $WBTC ($225,000). These tokens, while not as flamboyant as $FARTCOIN, have garnered interest from sharp-elbowed investors seeking to exploit market opportunities within the memecoin sector. $GRASS, in particular, has become a darling of traders who think it could be the next major moneymaker.

Furthermore, $cbBTC welcomed $102,000 in newly attributed inflows, and those inflows represent something of a statement for the token with the dog-in-new-sweater meme on it. In this case, speculative inflows could indeed signal that investors have some real affinity for the token’s perceived utility and potential for future growth.

Outflows Reflect Caution from Some Investors

Conversely, outflows totaled a considerable $1.8 million. This indicates that some smart money participants were opting to cash out or were reducing their exposure to certain tokens. The highest outflow was from $FARTCOIN’s counterpart, $WIF, which saw $47,000 in outflows. While this may not seem significant in isolation, it does suggest that there may be caution about the sustainability of some memecoin projects. Meanwhile, $POPCAT and $RFC experienced outflows of $205,000 and $45,000, respectively. These movements could also point to a strategic reallocation of assets as traders adjust their positions in response to market fluctuations or in search of tokens with higher potential.

$SWARMS and $UFD also recorded subsiding outflows, which totaled $81,000 and $36,000, respectively. These tokens—while part of the wider memecoin movement—are arguably generating less buzz, enthusiasm, and trust among investors than such illustrious names as $FARTCOIN and $GRASS.

The Role of Memecoins in the Broader Crypto Market

Controversial yet captivating, memecoins occupy a segment of the cryptocurrency landscape that many investors find hard to fathom. They seem to perform on a different plane altogether from the assets we deem sufficiently serious to merit our attention. And yet, many of us are incapable of half-heeding the siren call of the memecoin, an asset in which surprising human behavior and not-so-surprising human folly seem to drive prices ever higher. So, mindful of the surreal nature of this bottomless pit, we press ahead with our cautionary tale.

The operations of smart money participants in the memecoin space reflect cautious, optimistic risk-taking. Some of the more established tokens, such as $FARTCOIN and $GRASS, are enjoying healthy inflows, while a few lesser-known, less-established coins are enduring outflows right now. In short, investors seem to be picking sides in the great memecoin debate of 2023.

In the larger crypto market, memecoins are rising.

This meme-fueled class of assets is gaining traction in the development of decentralized finance and Web3 applications, even as regulatory scrutiny tightens. While many memecoins are purely speculative, some tokens, such as $GRASS, which is seeing significant inflows, are exploring new use cases that go beyond mere joke status. $GRASS is increasingly being seen as a token with real utility, which is a big reason why it’s a smart money play.

Looking Forward: A Dynamic Market

The memecoin market remains a dynamic and unpredictable space, where the ebb and flow of capital can have a significant impact on price movements. The net inflows of $2.9 million on April 7 suggest that smart money is still finding value in the sector, despite the inherent volatility. As always, participating in such a speculative market will require investors to consider the risks and rewards.

Attracting massive attention right now are memecoins like $FARTCOIN and $GRASS, both from speculative traders and long-term investors.

It remains to be seen whether these tokens will sustain their current momentum or face a retracement in the coming days. What happened on April 7 suggests that these coins have a lot of interest behind them, but as with any Nakamoto-style marketplace of the future, caution will be the order of the day.

The investor watching the memecoin market can’t help but feel a sense of evolution. There’s a sense that inflation might be headed our way and a serious amount of cash is going into crypto. Is this a new trend? Is the sentiment shifting again? For now, we’re not really sure. But what we are sure of is that memes aren’t going anywhere.
