Pengu,Logo,And,Coins.,Pudgy,Penguins

Pudgy Penguins native token PENGU (CRYPTO: PENGU) is gaining attention thanks to its growing adoption and strong fundamentals, prompting some to call it one of the most asymmetric bets in the market.

Cryptocurrency Ticker Price Market Cap 7-Day Trend
Pudgy Penguins (CRYPTO: PENGU) $0.03307 $2.07 billion -11.7%
Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) $0.2011 $30.2 billion -9%
Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: SHIB) $0.00001219 $7.18 billion -5.8%

Trader Notes: Zer0 argues that while many view PENGU as just another meme coin, it may be the most underestimated and asymmetric opportunity in crypto today:

  • Regulatory Traction: PENGU is under formal SEC review via a 19b-4 filing, placing it in the same category as major blue-chip tokens.
  • CBOE Support: The Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) is backing the filing—an unprecedented move for a memecoin.
  • Asian Market Adoption: Strong traction in Korea and China, where PENGU is being embraced as a cultural mascot by serious alpha groups.
  • Established IP: Backed by the widely recognized Pudgy Penguins brand, giving it a meme and merchandise edge.
  • Bullish Chart Structure: PENGU's chart mirrors Dogecoin's pre-2021 rally, with higher lows, building volume, and strong support.
  • Transparency: PENGU offers a public dashboard with real-time data, setting it apart from most meme coins.

Statistics: As per official data, PENGU holders stand at 872,994 while the total Pengu burned is at $375.4 million representing 13.7% of total supply.

Community News: Pudgy Penguins recently announced PENGU's listing on Robinhood's advanced trading platform, making the token more accessible to a broader investor base and potentially boosting liquidity and inflows.
