The launch of the PENGU token on the Solana blockchain caused a significant shift in the cryptocurrency landscape.
Despite experiencing a 51% decline on its first day, the token quickly rose to become one of the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, with a valuation of approximately $2.1 billion.
The launch was accompanied by a massive airdrop, which distributed over 44.8 billion tokens to eligible participants.
Technical difficulties, attributed to DDOS attacks, were encountered during the airdrop, but the interest in PENGU remained strong.
On its first trading day, PENGU achieved a trading volume of around $1.5 billion, making it the 14th most traded cryptocurrency among the top 100.
The launch of PENGU also had an impact on the prices of Pudgy Penguins NFTs, which initially surged but later declined.
Despite the challenges faced during the launch, the release of PENGU has generated renewed interest in the Pudgy Penguins ecosystem.
The future prospects of PENGU and the Pudgy Penguins ecosystem will be closely monitored by investors and analysts, as they continue to evolve in the rapidly changing world of digital assets.
