The controversial death of Peanut, the internet’s beloved squirrel, has led to the creation of a series of memecoins on the Solana network. These Peanut-themed cryptocurrencies quickly garnered significant attention, with some reaching market caps exceeding $100 million, drawing interest across the crypto market.
Following Peanut’s death, social media users began supporting memecoin projects to show their affection for him. This event, which went viral on platforms like Twitter and Reddit, sparked both sadness and excitement within the community. Crypto enthusiasts swiftly embraced the tokens created in his memory, and the value of these tokens rose rapidly.
Peanut-themed memecoins stand out due to their low transaction fees and fast processing times on the Solana network. Analysts note that while these types of memecoins may offer high short-term returns, they also carry substantial risk. Investors are advised to exercise caution, especially as crypto projects that gain popularity on social media can experience rapid gains as well as losses in value.
This event sparked outrage, with figures like billionaire Elon Musk criticizing the government, calling it ‘mindless’ and ‘heartless.’
