- Prices are CoinGecko figures quoted in the article, or your own inputs. Other data providers can differ slightly.
- A negative result is a fall from the reference price and a positive result is a rise. Neither is a forecast or a target.
This only works out the percentage change between two prices. It ignores fees, tax and slippage, and it says nothing about where PNUT's price will go next or who holds the concentrated supply.
What the token is
PNUT is a memecoin on Solana. It is named after Peanut, a pet squirrel that officers from New York's Department of Environmental Conservation seized from Mark Longo's home in Pine City on 30 October 2024. The department put Peanut and a raccoon named Fred down to test them for rabies. Reports give different dates for that. An anonymous developer created the token in early November 2024, and within days its market value passed $120 million (DL News, Cointelegraph). The creator is still unknown. Longo publicly objected to the token. The coin gives holders no rights or claim on anything, and its price depends on attention and trading flows.

On-chain safety check (25 October 2026)
According to RugCheck's report on the mint:
- Mint authority: none. No one can create new PNUT.
- Freeze authority: none. No one can freeze holders' token accounts.
- Creator wallet: holds 0 PNUT.
- Concentration: the top ten holders own about 71% of supply, and one address holds 31.36%. RugCheck rates both as warnings. Large addresses like these are often custodial or pool wallets, but we have not confirmed who owns them.
The earlier version of this page put the top-ten share at 39.5% on 7 September. We could not check that figure for that date, so the 71% above is the current reading, not a change measured over time.
How to read this
- A rise of 6.9% in a week and 33% in a month followed by a 20% fall in seven weeks is normal for this asset. Short-term gains have not lasted.
- At about 98% below the 2024 peak, the price would need to rise roughly 48 times from the 25 October level to get back there. That number shows the size of the drawdown. It is not a target.
- For live data, see the PNUT page.
Limitations: prices come from one aggregator (CoinGecko), and the on-chain data comes from one scanner (RugCheck). Other providers can differ by a few cents. Holder counts and flows on decentralised exchanges on 7 September could not be checked after the fact, so they are left out.
Crypto assets are volatile and you can lose your capital. Nothing here is investment advice.
