PENGU Jumps 62% in a Week on IPO Speculation and a Target Rollout

Pudgy Penguins token PENGU climbed 62.1% over the past week and now trades near $0.0095. Traders link a cryptic post from CEO Luca Netz to the company's stated ambition of a public listing.

The token added roughly 15% in the last 24 hours alone. Meanwhile, its market value sits close to $598 million, ranking PENGU 97th across all cryptocurrencies.

What Is Driving the PENGU Token Rally

LBank, a centralized crypto exchange, opened a promotional campaign with Pudgy Penguins in August. The program combines trading competitions, giveaways, and yield products that lock user deposits for 30 days. Those locked products keep tokens away from exchange order books for a month at a time. Therefore, the campaign thins the supply available to sellers while it runs.

The brand keeps widening its offline footprint too. Plush toys and collectible figures now sell through Walmart and Target stores across North America. Netz pushed the Target rollout directly to his followers this weekend.
