Recently, there has been an interesting phenomenon worth paying attention to. A virtual streamer named The Burnt Peanut went viral across multiple platforms in 2025, gaining quite a bit of popularity. Following this, some people hyped up this buzz into a token called $Peanut for fundraising and deployment.

Since its launch, $Peanut has performed quite aggressively—its price surged up to 30 times, and its highest market cap once reached 337K. This kind of token project derived from a virtual streamer IP actually reflects an interesting trend in the current crypto market: traffic and popularity are increasingly quickly converting into on-chain assets. The fan base within the virtual streamer community combined with the hype mechanism of the token has created a lot of appeal.

However, the lifecycle of such projects is usually quite short. After the hype fades, whether they can sustain growth depends on whether there is real application value supporting them.

Run at 30x leverage. I've seen many coins with this kind of hype; just wait and see how they eventually go to zero.

According to on-chain data, I have long seen through this traffic-to-coin scheme. Behind the 30x increase, there must be big players quietly selling off.

A 30x increase, huh? I'm still waiting for the bag holders to come in. --- It's the same old routine of virtual streamers cutting leeks; nothing new anymore. --- Does it have application value? Laughing out loud, this is just a pure hype scheme. --- Waiting to see how they dump the market later, getting ready to buy the dip. --- The virtual streamer economy is a new trend, but $Peanut doesn't seem to have much imagination. --- This time I learned my lesson: sell at the peak and don't be greedy. --- Converting traffic into tokens makes sense, but the execution is full of scam tactics. --- I usually miss out on tokens that surge 30x; my mood is collapsing. --- The problem is, virtual streamers are already虚幻, and tokens are even more虚幻—it's a Russian nesting doll. --- Current holders are definitely selling off; those who are smart should probably run.

A 30x increase is outrageous, but I bet this wave of popularity for 5 Solana won't last more than three months.

30x, another fast-paced hot potato game Virtual streamers + tokens, a traffic secret played skillfully Once the hype passes, you'll see who's swimming naked Should I join this wave? It depends on whether there's real support behind it How long Peanut can survive, I think I'll stay on the sidelines A 30x increase is inherently risky; the ceiling has long been reached The virtual streamer economy is indeed gaining momentum on-chain, but the tactics are still the same Only projects with practical application value can survive; pure hype will eventually cool off
