The cryptocurrency market is already in high spirits as Bitcoin (BTC) continues to hit new all-time highs, fueling upward momentum across major cryptocurrencies, including memecoins.
This bullish trend is carrying over to Solana-based memecoins as well, with Peanut the Squirrel (PNUT) and Act I: The AI Prophecy (ACT) seeing remarkable surges today, rising over 240% and 1,100%, respectively.

One of the primary factors behind this rally is a recent listing announcement by Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange. Just 45 minutes ago, Binance shared on X (formerly Twitter) that it will list Act I: The AI Prophecy (ACT) and Peanut the Squirrel (PNUT), opening trading for their spot pairs today at 10:00 AM UTC. Withdrawals for these tokens will begin tomorrow, November 12, at 10:00 AM UTC.

This listing news has created strong market excitement, with investors anticipating increased accessibility and demand for both PNUT and ACT.
A major whale jumped in to accumulate both tokens, accelerating the upward momentum. According to on-chain data from Lookonchain, a large whale withdrew 14,770 SOL (worth around $3.03 million) from Binance to purchase PNUT and ACT, which sent the prices soaring.

The whale used 12,000 SOL (approximately $2.46 million) to buy 9.24 million PNUT at $0.266 and spent an additional 2,000 SOL (roughly $410,000) to acquire 2.04 million ACT at $0.20. This rapid accumulation not only drove up prices but also spurred further interest and excitement within the community.

As trading opens on Binance, all eyes are on PNUT and ACT to see how these tokens perform. The combination of a Binance listing and significant whale purchases is often a powerful catalyst for price action, and it will be interesting to see if the current rally sustains in the days ahead.
