Mark Longo, owner of Peanut the Squirrel, has filed a complaint against Binance, alleging unauthorized use of the 'PNUT' trademark and image.

Legal Dispute with Binance

Mark Longo expressed his determination to protect his intellectual property. His legal team has issued a cease-and-desist letter to Binance. This is the first step in a series of actions to safeguard his creative works.

Meme Coin Market Context

The legal dispute comes amid a boom in meme coins. Longo launched a token, 'Justice for Peanut,' which initially surged but later plummeted in value. Despite the decline, Longo continues to promote it, drawing criticism from the crypto community who accuse him of exploiting the situation for financial gain.

Rise of Peanut the Squirrel in Crypto

Peanut the Squirrel became a viral sensation and integral to meme coin culture. The squirrel's name gained traction during the U.S. elections after a conflict between Longo and NYS DEC. Peanut's death in custody sparked public outcry, increasing interest in coins bearing her image.

The situation surrounding Peanut the Squirrel and the ensuing lawsuit against Binance highlight the complexities of intellectual property rights in the crypto era.
