PNUT on the Run Again<\/h2>\n

Peanut the Squirrel (PNUT)<\/span> \u2013 <\/span>a Solana-based meme coin <\/span>which saw the light of day<\/span> in November this year<\/span> \u2013 <\/span>took center stage today (December 12) thanks to its rapid price increase.<\/span> Its valuation jumped by around 25% on a daily scale, reaching almost $1.40. In the past several hours, PNUT lost some steam, falling to its current $1.27 (per CoinGecko\u2019s data).

The meme coin\u2019s latest rally <\/span>was likely triggered<\/span> by the leading crypto exchange Coinbase, which <\/span>placed<\/span><\/a> the asset on its \u201croadmap.\u201d It is worth noting that tokens added in that section are still in the experimental zone and must meet <\/span>certain<\/span> criteria before being officially listed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Some well-known cryptocurrency exchanges <\/span>that have already <\/span>embraced<\/span><\/a> PNUT include Binance, Bybit, Bitget, HTX, Gate.io, and more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Another factor <\/span>which<\/span> could have positively affected the price of the squirrel-themed asset is the overall resurgence of the meme coin sector. In the past 24 hours, the <\/span>market capitalization of the niche<\/span> has soared by 8%, nearing $140 billion.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dogecoin (DOGE), Shiba Inu (SHIB), Pepe (PEPE), <\/span>dogwifhat<\/span> (WIF), Bonk Inu (BONK), Floki Inu (FLOKI), and many other memes have charted significant gains for the <\/span>aforementioned period<\/span>. Conversely, Mog Coin (MOG) and Simon\u2019s Cat (CAT) are among the <\/span>very<\/span> few experiencing minor losses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

PNUT\u2019s Launch and Explosive Rally<\/span><\/h2>\n

As mentioned above, the meme coin went live <\/span>at the start of<\/span> November. It <\/span>is inspired<\/span> by a pet squirrel named Peanut, which reportedly bit a Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) worker during a seizure operation and <\/span>was later euthanized<\/span> to test for rabies. <\/span><\/p>\n

Its death caused huge controversy, with many people labeling the move as unnecessary since the animal had lived indoors for years and showed no signs of the disease. Elon Musk was among the critics,\u00a0<\/span>describing<\/span><\/a> the effort as a \u201cgovernment overreach \u201d and provocatively saying that \u201cDonald Trump would save the squirrels.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The massive interest in PNUT (among other factors) fueled a bull run for the asset\u2019s price, with some savvy investors making millions due to entering the ecosystem in the early days and cashing out at the right time. Those willing to see how one trader turned a $17 investment in the meme coin into more than $3 million, feel free to take a look at our dedicated video below:<\/span><\/p>\n\n
