Drops

Frenzy

<p>After launching a major <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/pudgy-penguins-launches-pengu-on-solana-with-88-day-claim-period-price-soars-over-800/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">airdrop earlier this week</a> that unlocked nearly 70% of the Pudgy Penguins (PENGU) token into circulation, the altcoin has seen a sharp decline. With a fully diluted market valuation of about $2.1 billion and a 24-hour trading volume around $1.2 billion, PENGU dropped over 25% in just 24 hours, trading at about $0.024 on Friday, December 20, during the early New York session.</p>   
<p>The drop in price comes amid broader bearish sentiment in the <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/crypto-news-today-dec-20-2024-bitcoin-falls-to-96k-as-market-stumbles/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">crypto market</a>. More than $1.3 million was liquidated from the PENGU leveraged market, with over 85% of liquidations involving long traders. As early adopters, who received PENGU tokens during the airdrop, begin to take profits, the token faces more downward pressure in the near term.</p>

<p>Despite the recent decline, PENGU's value is supported by the success of the Pudgy Penguins NFT collection, which consists of 8,888 digital assets. According to OpenSea, the floor price of these NFTs is around 16.8 ETH, or more than $50k, reflecting a 51% rise over the past 90 days.</p>   
<p>The Pudgy Penguins team has also expanded into physical products like toys and clothing, further growing their brand. The community around Pudgy Penguins, known as the Huddle community, has also grown significantly, strengthening the ecosystem and positioning the project for future growth as the crypto industry continues to adopt mainstream attention.</p>   [post_titles_links postid="394397"]   
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-what-s-next-for-pengu">What's Next for PENGU?</h2>   
<p>While the immediate effects of the airdrop may have cooled off, Pudgy Penguins is well-positioned for long-term growth, especially with the expected crypto bull run in 2025. Despite facing selling pressure, PENGU has managed to hold a market cap above $1 billion, demonstrating its resilience.</p>   
<p>Crypto analyst Leshka expects the PENGU project to surpass a $10 billion market cap in the near future, highlighting the potential for significant gains despite short-term price fluctuations.</p>
