According to ChainCatcher news and reported by Cointelegraph, the controversial website 4chan has resumed operations after being hacked on April 14. The /Biz/ zone of this forum has long been an important gathering place for the Crypto Assets community and has had a significant impact on the market.
4chan’s most notable influence in the Crypto Assets space includes driving the massive rise of Chainlink (LINK), which surged from $1.80 at the beginning of 2020 to an all-time high of $49.54 in 2021. In addition, after the Pepe the Frog meme became popular on the platform, the market capitalization of the related coin PEPE skyrocketed from $591 million at the beginning of 2024 to $11 billion.
