4chan Revival: Crypto Community Regains Influence, Previously Drove Prices of Tokens Like LINK to Soar

TechFlow news, May 10 — According to Cointelegraph, the controversial website 4chan has resumed operations after being hacked on April 14. The forum's /Biz/ board has long served as a key gathering place for the cryptocurrency community and has significantly influenced market trends.

4chan's most notable impacts in the crypto space include fueling a massive rally in Chainlink (LINK), which rose from $1.80 in early 2020 to an all-time high of $49.54 in 2021. Additionally, following the popularity of the Pepe the Frog meme on the platform, the related token PEPE surged from a market cap of $591 million at the beginning of 2024 to $11 billion.
