PENGU Debuts with $2.3B Market Cap
Beginner
2024-12-18 | 5m
The native token of the Pudgy Penguins NFT project, PENGU, launched with a staggering $2.3 billion market cap, achieving $90 million in trading volume within its first hour. The Solana-based token has a total supply of 88.88 billion, with 23.5% distributed via an airdrop to NFT holders. An additional 22% is reserved for the Solana and Ethereum communities, while 12.3% is allocated as liquidity on decentralized exchanges.
PENGU’s debut has positively impacted the Pudgy Penguins NFT collection, with the floor price rising to 34.1 ETH ($136,000), marking a 2.6% increase. The collection is now the second most expensive in the NFT space, trailing only CryptoPunks.
This success comes despite the broader NFT market remaining in a prolonged downturn. While NFTs were highly speculative and in-demand during 2022, trading volumes have sharply declined. For example, OpenSea, which once saw $2.7 billion in daily trades in 2022, now struggles to surpass $30 million monthly. The rise of meme coins has further shifted market dynamics away from traditional NFTs.
