What It Is
PNUT is a Solana memecoin named after a pet squirrel that was seized and euthanised by New York State authorities in October 2024. The token went from its all time low to its all time high in nine days.
Origin
Named after Peanut, an Eastern gray squirrel rescued as a kit in 2017 by Mark Longo and kept in Pine City, New York, who became widely followed on social media. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation seized Peanut and a raccoon named Fred on 30 October 2024 and both were euthanised the same day. On 12 November 2024 authorities announced both had tested negative for rabies. No publication I could reach names whoever deployed the token, and there is no indication it is connected to Longo. Source: Wikipedia, Peanut (squirrel).
Supply
Maximum supply of 1,000,000,000 tokens, with 999,841,518 in circulation on 19 September 2026. Solana contract . Source: CoinGecko, read 19 September 2026.

Event 3
On 12 November 2024 the authorities announced both animals had tested negative for rabies, the day before the token’s all time high. The Chemung County Health Department said they were euthanised before results were available because no approved pre-mortem rabies test for animals exists. Source: Wikipedia.

Check the contract against the chart before you trust either. On both chains there is always a different token using the same name.
The Risks
Structural, and specific to this token.
Risk 1
The token is named after a real animal belonging to a real person in the middle of a public controversy. Neither the owner nor the animal had any part in it.
Risk 2
Its entire price record was set inside nine days in November 2024 and it has fallen about ninety eight per cent since.
Risk 3
No deployer is publicly named, so there is no accountable entity behind it.
Risk 4
Buying attention generated by a news event means owning the attention after the event stops being news, which is what the chart since November 2024 shows.
Supply, all time high and all time low from CoinGecko, read 2 September 2026. Launch details from the issuer's own announcements and from Solscan. Any price or market capitalisation inside the timeline is a dated snapshot, not a live figure. The live table is on the memecoins page. Every row in the timeline carries its own date and its own publication, and those are the sources. Supply, contracts, all time highs and all time lows come from CoinGecko, cross checked against CoinMarketCap and Coinpaprika. Where the aggregators disagree, both figures are printed and each is named in the row. Where a date is reported only as a month or a range it is written that way rather than narrowed. Direct quotations are reproduced from the reporting and attributed to the person who said them. Any price or market capitalisation in a row is a dated snapshot, not a live figure.

No. It is a breakdown of a token, which is a different thing. Memecoins have no cash flows and can go to zero. Nothing here is financial advice and Cody Wise is not a licensed advisor.
