  1. The position of cryptocurrencies on CoinMarketCap and similar platforms is usually determined by their market capitalization, which is calculated by multiplying the current price of the cryptocurrency by the total circulating supply. Therefore, even if Solana (SOL) has a higher individual price than XRP, if XRP has a significantly larger circulating supply than Solana, its overall market capitalization could still be higher. This means that while Solana's price per token may be higher, XRP's total value (market cap) can be higher due to a larger supply of tokens available in the market.

  2. As of October 2023, "Fartcoin" is not a well-known or mainstream cryptocurrency. However, it's possible that it exists as a meme coin or joke currency within the crypto space. Meme coins often gain value through online communities and social media buzz rather than intrinsic utility or a strong technological foundation. The value of such coins can be extremely volatile and largely driven by speculation, trends, and the activities of influencers or communities.

As for its market value, this can vary significantly, and the presence of such a coin may be surprising to many, especially considering the sometimes seemingly frivolous nature of meme coins. Whether or not to invest in Fartcoin would depend on an individual's risk tolerance, investment strategy, and views on speculative assets. Generally, it's advised to be cautious when considering investments in highly volatile or meme-based cryptocurrencies.
