‘We have reached the “Fartcoin” stage of the market cycle’ – David Einhorn

Investing.com — David Einhorn of Greenlight Capital recently discussed the current state of the cryptocurrency market, pointing out, “[w]e have reached the “Fartcoin” stage of the market cycle.”

Fartcoin, a digital currency created last year, has seen an incredible rise from a nominal value to over a billion dollars. The hedge fund manager highlights that despite its lack of obvious utility beyond trading and speculation, Fartcoin has become the latest meme coin sensation, following in the footsteps of Dogecoin, a cryptocurrency created over a decade ago with a similar aim to mock cryptocurrencies and enable speculative trading.

Dogecoin, featuring a Shiba Inu dog logo, is currently valued at $55 billion. If it were a stock, it would rank around #180 in the S&P 500, surpassing the size of companies like Travelers (NYSE:TRV) and Johnson Controls (NYSE:JCI). Einhorn emphasizes that, like other collectibles, the value of these cryptocurrencies lies in the market’s perception, not in any intrinsic value or backing.

Also in the spotlight are the recently launched ‘official’ Trump memecoin and Melania memecoin. As of last Friday, the Trump memecoin had a nominal value of $40 billion, even reaching $75 billion over the weekend to surpass Dogecoin. With 80% of the coins not yet issued, it implies that President Trump and the organization supporting the coin hold Trump memecoins worth $32 billion and counting. This amount exceeds President Trump’s earnings from his entire business career. The Melania memecoin, launched on Sunday, is currently valued at $4 billion.

Einhorn states that the creation of new types of memecoins doesn’t seem to be a difficult task, and he has no issue with individuals taking a chance on cryptocurrencies or other forms of speculative investments. His personal preference, however, would be to own a Jackson Pollock painting rather than a Fartcoin. The future of the cryptocurrency market, now perhaps transitioning from the Fartcoin stage to the Trump and Melania memecoin stage, remains uncertain and potentially volatile.
