Peanut the Squirrel, or PNUT Crypto, has grabbed the attention of both investors and animal enthusiasts, sparking a debate: is it the top meme investment?

Meanwhile, die-hard meme coin enthusiasts still champion Pepe for the best returns, but there’s also a new kid on the block—Pepe unchained—who might just steal the spotlight.

The Tale of PNUT Crypto: From Tragedy to Triumph

Within 48 hours of being listed on Binance, PNUT’s market cap skyrocketed, surpassing the $2 billion mark.

Peanut the Squirrel’s saga kicked off with a gut-wrenching event: the euthanasia of the pet squirrel by New York City officials, igniting a wave of public indignation.

Big names like Elon Musk and Donald Trump almost immediately slammed the authorities for overstepping. This groundswell of emotion swiftly morphed into market momentum, with the PNUT Crypto born on the pump.fun memecoin platform, emerging as a badge of defiance for its backers.

Pepe Vs. Peanut: Which is a Better Investment?

Meanwhile, PEPE’s price action has smashed through a falling channel, breaking out with two bullish engulfing candles that leapfrogged over the 38.20% Fibonacci level.  Trading at $0.000024, PEPE’s chart boasts a 17.79% intraday rise, marking a new peak at $0.00002567.

With a new listing on Coinbase and Robinhood, Pepe’s enthusiasm is at an all-time high.

Weekly chart indicators, including MACD and signal lines, show a supportive crossover, suggesting an upside target of $0.00000104, reminiscent of early 2024’s bullish surge.

Despite the excitement, Binance’s approach to listing meme coins has not been without controversy. Critics argue that such listings can encourage speculative behavior, likening it to pump-and-dump schemes.

Regardless, when it comes to the coin with the better upside, Peanut has it right now, but Pepe is a safer, more conservative pick.

Keep in mind that these are meme coins. They can all be risky as hell!
