Having burst onto the scene in late 2024, PNUT is a memecoin created to commemorate Peanut the Squirrel, a rescue squirrel from New York that was put down by US authorities on 30 October 2024.

First launched on pump.fun, PNUT can now be traded via a number of established crypto exchanges including Binance and CoinSpot.

How to buy PNUT

You can buy Peanut the Squirrel by following these 4 steps:

  1. Compare exchanges. While PNUT started trading on decentralised Solana exchanges, it is now available to buy on regular cryptocurrency exchanges. You can compare exchanges offering PNUT below. Keep an eye out for the exchange with the lowest fees and that let you trade using Australian dollars.
  2. Sign up for an account. Once you've picked out the exchange you want to use, you'll need to create an account. As part of the sign up process you'll need to provide a form of ID like a passport or licence.

What's the easiest way to buy Peanut the Squirrel (PNUT)?

As we've mentioned above, PNUT started life as a pump.fun memecoin and began trading on a number of decentralised exchanges on the Solana network. If you already have a Solana crypto wallet like Phantom, you can trade Peanut the Squirrel directly using Solana (SOL).

Otherwise, the easiest way to buy PNUT will be using one of the centralised exchanges listed above, especially the ones that support AUD deposits and trading. This may also be the most cost-effective method for beginners, as it saves you having to first buy Solana (SOL) tokens and then transferring them to your wallet.

What do I need to buy PNUT?

If you're new to cryptocurrency, you'll likely need the following things to buy Peanut:

  • A form of ID. You'll need this to verify your account with a crypto exchange and begin trading.
  • A payment method. This can be a bank account, credit or debit card, or even another cryptocurrency.
  • Your own crypto wallet. While you can choose to keep your PNUT on the exchange from which you buy it, it's generally safer to store your crypto on your own custodial software or hardware wallet.
