- Market cap surge positions Pudgy Penguins as NFT leader, challenging established collections.
Pudgy Penguins has recently made history by surpassing the floor price of the iconic Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC), marking a significant milestone in the NFT space. As of December 2024, Pudgy Penguins’ floor price reached an all-time high of 24 ETH, approximately $93,000, signaling the collection’s meteoric rise. This surge comes after the announcement of the highly anticipated PENGU token, set to launch on the Solana blockchain.
The token, with a total supply of 88.8 billion, has been met with immense enthusiasm from the community. A portion of the supply will be distributed to community members, fueling excitement and increasing demand. The value of its NFTs rose by 11% in a single day, with trading volume hitting 2,653 ETH.

With a market cap of $772.5 million, Pudgy Penguins outpaced BAYC, which stands at $755 million. Luca Netz’s strategic leadership has driven Pudgy Penguins’ rise, expanding its reach through retail partnerships and NFT gaming ventures.
