You Won’t Believe How a Penguin Went Full Crypto and Caused a 60% Token Party!

by

What to know:

  • In a shocking turn of events, Coinbase ditched its classic blue logo for a snappy Pudgy Penguins NFT profile picture. Because who needs sleek branding when you can have cartoonish penguins, right? 🐧
  • PENGU, the star of this penguin parade, skyrocketed over 60% before doing the classic crypto dip dance. It’s still strutting around with a healthy 35% gain for the week. Like, where was this energy when I was trying to get my penguin collection going? 🎉
  • Coinbase snagged AlexOnChain, the crypto Twitter sensation, as their first full-time “CT Lead.” Sounds fancy, but what does that even mean? Chief Transparency Officer? đŸ€”

Coinbase shocked the world—okay, the crypto world—when they swapped their serious look for a Pudgy Penguins NFT, tweeting, “new pfp, who dis?” Oh, like we don’t already know, it’s the coolest penguin in the block! ❄

Just moments after the penguin pandemonium began, the PENGU token started doing the cha-cha, rising over 60% like it found a new dance partner. After a little correction (because what’s a party without a little trip?), it’s still rocking a glittery 35% gain this week. đŸ•ș

As if on cue, the official Pudgy Penguins account joined in, sending matching ice-blue avatars sailing through feeds like a cute little flotilla. Rumors spread like wildfire about a potential team-up with Igloo Inc., masterminds behind our chubby pals. It’s Penguin Power! đŸ’Ș

Even other crypto firms, including VanEck and MoonPay, jumped on this penguin bandwagon, swapping their profiles for pudgy cuteness. NFT world, you better watch out—this is a penguin uprising! 😆

And guess what? The floor price of Pudgy Penguins NFTs bounced from around 9 ETH to a staggering 11.58 ETH in a matter of hours. Talk about a speedy makeover—if only my closet could do the same! 🙌

Coinbase pulled this profile switch during a brief takeover by the enigmatic AlexOnChain, who previously rocked the social media scene at Binance. Now, they’ve made it official—Alex is Coinbase’s first full-time “CT Lead.” Hope they have enough ice for those penguins! 🧊

“We’re all about being transparent, engaging, and oh-so-sociable,” says Alex. Right, because nothing screams ‘trust’ like a witness protection program for crypto. 😂

And just when you thought it couldn’t get crazier, the U.S. SEC weighed in and gave a thumbs up to Canary Capital’s filing for a spot PENGU ETF. Because every penguin deserves their moment in the stock spotlight! đŸ€‘
