The memecoin market is back in full swing, and PENGU is leading the charge. Tied to the successful Pudgy Penguins NFT brand and powered by Solana’s blazing-fast blockchain, PENGU has exploded in both price and popularity over the past week.
Whales are buying. ETF filings are stirring buzz. Pudgy Penguins are trending again. And the charts? They’re breaking resistance zones with strength.
Let’s break down the latest developments.
Previously, whale holdings of PENGU had grown by 20% over the past month — a strong sign of smart money confidence. But today’s data reveals a fresh surge: whales scooped up 200 million PENGU tokens (worth ~$2.4M) in just 24 hours.
This intensified accumulation is helping fuel the ongoing rally, with volume climbing alongside price. It’s also a clear bullish signal — whales are expecting more upside.
One of the strongest bullish catalysts? The confirmed ETF filing involving PENGU on the Cboe exchange. While not yet approved, the filing is gaining traction, backed by major on-chain movement and increasing mentions in trading communities.
If approved, PENGU would become only the second memecoin after DOGE to be part of a regulated exchange-traded product — a major step toward institutional validation.
A 19b-4 filing is now live, setting the stage for a potential U.S.-regulated PENGU ETF.
As of late June 2025, PENGU is trading between $0.0139–$0.0144, surging over 60% this past week. In our last update, we marked $0.0135–$0.0149 as critical resistance — levels that have now been breached.
Then, long-term ATH at ~$0.027 (set in late 2024)
A break above $0.0175 could open the door for a move toward $0.020–$0.027, and even beyond if ETF news materializes.
Behind every great memecoin is a strong brand, and PENGU’s backbone is the Pudgy Penguins NFT ecosystem.
NFT trading volume tied to Pudgy Penguins is up over 400% in recent weeks, fueled by:
This cultural relevance is key. It creates emotional attachment, community loyalty, and a unique value proposition beyond just price speculation, giving PENGU an edge over other memecoins.
Recent gains across the Solana ecosystem are also lifting PENGU. With Solana ($SOL) climbing on news of dApp expansions and NFT integrations, PENGU is benefiting from broader bullish momentum within its home blockchain.
This is especially important as traders look for scalable, low-fee alternatives to Ethereum-based assets, and Solana is currently leading that narrative in mid-2025.
Some are linking PENGU’s surge to the recent Nasdaq tech rally, driven by AI and chip stocks. While the connection is weak fundamentally, broader risk-on sentiment does spill into crypto — and speculative tokens like PENGU can ride that wave.
In short, while Nasdaq isn’t causing PENGU’s pump, it is creating a bullish macro backdrop.

NFT Market Momentum | Sustains hype and price interest |
Whale Selling | Risk of short-term correction |

Absolutely. While it remains a high-risk memecoin, PENGU now combines:
Whether you're a short-term trader or a speculative long-shot investor, PENGU is among the top altcoins drawing real attention in Q2–Q3 2025.
