PENGU Sees A Massive 10% Spike As Alternative Vote-to-Earn Meme Coin Raises $10 Million

Pudgy Penguins’ native token, PENGU, has climbed 10.5% on Jan. 16, emerging as one of the top performers in the crypto market.

At the time of writing, PENGU was trading at $0.0337, marking a 140% surge since its launch on Dec. 17. 

However, initially debuting with a market cap of $3.5 billion, the token has since dipped to $2.1 billion, according to CoinGecko.

Aligning with a price increase, Pudgy Penguins' NFT sales have surged 571% in the last 24 hours. This growth has catapulted them to the second spot in the daily ranking of top NFT collections by sales volume, trailing only Bitcoin Ordinals-related NFTs, according to data from CryptoSlam.

Beyond Solana: Pudgy Penguins Target Ethereum and Abstract

Pudgy Penguins’ continues to capture public interest, thanks in part to its viral GIF and sticker strategy. In just the first few days of 2025, the project achieved billions of GIF views and a record-breaking sell-out of their Telegram sticker experiment, and welcomed hundreds of thousands of new penguin owners with actual stake in the project, all while driving viral Instagram and TikTok campaigns.

PENGU, initially launched on the Solana blockchain, plans to expand its reach to Ethereum and Abstract, an Ethereum Layer 2 scaling solution developed by Igloo Inc. The launch on Abstract is set for January, and this move could push the price of PENGU to $1, according to Lard Durden, a crypto trader. 

In addition to the launch on both chains, Pudgy Penguins is preparing many airdrops and launches this year. In a recent interview with NYSE, Luca Netz, CEO of Pudgy Penguins, even declared 2025 to be the year of PENGU.  

PENGU Soars While Flockerz Gains Traction

While PENGU is up over 10% and its NFT collection is second in daily sales, the crypto community is also drawn to Flockerz ($FLOCK), which has already raised over $10 million in its current presale.

However, the Flockerz presale, launched in September 2024, is already nearing its end and enters its final 7 days.

This meme coin project, distinguished by its decentralized governance model, offers a "Vote-to-Earn" mechanism that rewards $FLOCK token holders for participating in DAO decisions.  

Flockerz's unique selling proposition lies in its Flocktopia DAO, which empowers the community through on-chain voting. 25% of the FLOCK supply is allocated to the DAO vault, funding governance rewards and incentivizing long-term engagement. This "feedback loop" fosters community ownership and prevents power concentration.  

The project's smart contracts have also undergone rigorous security audits by Coinsult and SolidProof, addressing common concerns regarding presale transparency.

$FLOCK can be easily acquired using various methods, including ETH, USDT, BNB, and credit cards. 

As the presale comes to an end, the crypto community is eagerly awaiting $FLOCK's listing – possibly on Uniswap, as the Telegram community is anticipating.

With only one week left until the end of the Flockerz presale, investors can purchase $FLOCK at the current price of $0.0066883 ahead of the planned exchange listing, after which the price will increase.
