PNUT Up Over 500% In a Week as Bitcoin Sets New Records

2024 has proven to be a massive year for the cryptocurrency sector. Despite its opposition, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved two crypto-based ETFs.

Over the last 30 days, the meme coin is up more than 758%, according to CoinMarketCap. The asset may not have the reach or community of a Dogecoin (DOGE) or Shiba Inu (SHIB), but It has sown the potential to eventually compete with those market leaders.

The coin itself was created in honor of the New York squirrel that became a social media sensation. Although he was a pet, the animal was seized by the state Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) by Paul Longo. The animal was taken due to reports of Longo owning wildlife illegally. Shortly after he was taken, the animal was put down.

P’Nut became a meme that caught on with the internet community. Moreover, it then became the subject of its very own meme coin offering. Indeed, it was launched on Solana and has already reached a market cap above $454 million. The token honoring the pet has developed a strong community, as the PNUT token has reached a $0.45 price already.
