PENGU Jumps 62% in a Week on IPO Speculation and a Target Rollout
Pudgy Penguins token (PENGU) rose 62.1% in a week, nearing $0.0095, with a market value of $598 million. The surge is linked to IPO speculation, a promotional campaign with LBank, and retail distribution through Walmart and Target. CEO Luca Netz's cryptic post and past comments suggest a potential 2027 listing, though no formal filing has been made.
