Meme Coin Unicorns That Are Now Basically Dust Again

The total growth from less than $1 million to over $2 billion happened in less than one year, showing one of the most impressive meme coin rallies in history. Even more interesting is the fact that the meme coin did not stop there, eventually reaching $2 billion before reaching a top.

Nevertheless, the meme coin had continued to move upward, eventually topping just above $1.2 billion. This was before the bear market hit, and the price began to fall again in November of 2024. Since then, the price has fallen by more than 95%, with its market cap now sitting at a mere $50 million.

Peanut The Squirrel (PNUT) is a meme coin named after an Eastern gray squirrel which went viral after its dead in 2024. The death of the squirrel had led to public outcry after it was put down by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), and the meme coin was born not long after.
