Pudgy Penguins Skyrockets on ETF Hype—Analysts Foresee $0.060 Breakout

Move over, boring blue-chips—Pudgy Penguins are stealing the spotlight. The NFT-turned-token project just caught a tailwind from Wall Street’s latest crypto craze: ETF speculation. And the charts? They’re screaming bullish.

The ETF Effect: More Than Just Hot Air

Rumors of a Pudgy Penguins-themed ETF (yes, really) sent traders into a frenzy. Never mind that institutional adoption of meme assets usually ends in tears—this time, it’s ‘different.’

Price Targets That Defy Gravity

Analysts—those eternal optimists—are penciling in a moonshot to $0.060. Because if Dogecoin taught us anything, it’s that fundamentals are overrated when you’ve got a cute mascot and FOMO.

One hedge fund manager muttered about ‘asymmetric upside’ before ordering another martini. Meanwhile, retail traders are YOLO-ing paychecks like it’s 2021. History doesn’t repeat, but it sure rhymes.

• Pudgy Penguins rose 12.53% to $0.01662, and the market cap exceeded $1.04 billion based on news of the ETF filing.
• The proposed ETF allocates 80–95% to PENGU, 5–15% to Pudgy Penguins NFTs, plus SOL and ETH.
• PENGU ETF could lead the charge in integrating memecoin into finance, combining NFTs, top cryptos, and institutional support.

Solana-based memecoin PENGU has risen by 12.53% in the last 24 hours to $0.01662. The uptick comes after the SEC officially acknowledged the Canary Spot PENGU ETF filing. 

With surging investor interest, the market cap of PENGU has topped $1.04 billion, backed by the $275.8 million increase in the trading volume. Trading has heated up, with 24-hour volume of PENGU soaring more than 30% to $275.8 million. 

ETF Adoption Spurts Memecoin Rally on Solana

Prominent trader @ali_charts called this a “textbook bullish retest,” projecting a surge toward $0.060 by August as investor confidence gains momentum. The ETF filed by Canary Capital Group would integrate PENGU, NFTs by Pudgy Penguins, and prominent cryptos such as Solana (SOL) and ethereum (ETH). 

If approved, it WOULD mark the first NFT-memecoin fund, bridging Web3 innovation with Wall Street’s regulatory framework. Market analysts see this as a paradigm shift for retail-oriented digital assets.

According to the filing, the ETF will commit 80–95% in spot PENGU, 5–15% in select Pudgy Penguins NFTs, and minor percentages in SOL and ETH for purposes of liquidity. The combination of this portfolio creates the rare hybrid structure, aligning cultural IP and blockchain-native assets for long-term value exposure in the public marketplace.

Pudgy Penguins ETF Could Redefine Crypto’s Role in Traditional Finance

Pudgy Penguins NFTs, consisting of 8,888 individual characters, form the foundation of the project’s brand ecosystem. The NFTs’ presence transcends crypto to retail in the form of licensed Pudgy Toys at Walmart and Target, revealing extensive cultural and commercial reach.

PENGU token is the registered utility token of solana to support Pudgy Penguins’ ecosystem, i.e., games, items, and NFT interaction. Having nearly $970 million in market cap, it gains popularity among crypto investors, along with retail users.

The ETF’s sole spot for PENGU highlights institutional faith in its ground-breaking position in the ecosystem. If approved, this fund could pioneer the first memecoin-linked regulated investment vehicle, opening doors for similar digital-native tokens.

Canary Capital’s approach goes beyond regular crypto ETFs, bundling PENGU with NFTs and blue-chip blockchain tokens. The hybrid fund structure may pave the way for broader institutional adoption and legitimacy of memecoins in mainstream finance.
