Can Petunia become the second Chill Guy?
Petunia ($PETUNIA), a meme token based on the Solana blockchain with the contract address 7tPPYTBKrFLKKnoCwijrsfjAYadyp7GpAmSPUbVwbonk, hit an all-time high (ATH) market capitalisation of $2.67 million on May 12th, 2025. The token, with $6.8 million traded in the last 24 hours, is riding the hype that stems
The Petunia phenomenon originated on the TikTok account @knightk64, where the life on the family farm is captured. Petunia, a piglet who is the offspring of sow June who had given birth to three piglets, was the star of the handle. June discarded Petunia for no particular reason, so the family went ahead to record the life of the piglet on their mini farm. The first Petunia video that was posted on May 11, 2025, was viewed 23.3 million times, making the video most watched on the channel and catapulted Petunia to viral stardom using the hashtag #petunia.
The social media influencer has brought $Petunia to the mainstream of crypto, surfing a wave of meme coins that are being discussed through social media, including the other meme animals that are going viral like the small cows on TikTok. The story of the spurned but extremely sought-after farm animal, Petunia, has captured the imagination of the crypto sphere and saw the token grow rapidly in the Solana ecosystem.
Petunia has a total supply of 1 billion tokens, a norm for meme coins on the Solana blockchain, to the advantage of the coin’s price activity. The $6.8 million 24hr traded volume is evidence of high investor activity, while the $2.67 million ATH market capitalization is a testament to the virality of Petunia. The narrative of the token is that of successful animal-themed meme coins, prompting the questions about whether or not it has the ability to move to the big leagues.
$Petunia’s rise signals the power of social media to drive crypto trends. Propelled by the cute storytelling of a piglet from the farm of @knightk64, $Petunia has quickly gained momentum, which proves that perhaps the next best meme coin to hit the Solana ecosystem is in the making.
