PENGU, the memecoin inspired by Pudgy Penguins, is making headlines after the U.S. SEC acknowledged a spot ETF filing by Canary Capital. The news sent the Solana-based token soaring nearly 30%. It also became the top-performing cryptocurrency in the Top 100 on CoinGecko today.
It is currently trading at $0.01956, up 33% in the last 24 hours. Its market cap has surged past $1.2 billion, with a 24-hour trading volume exceeding $700 million.
The proposed ETF will invest mostly in PENGU tokens (80–95%) and a smaller portion in Pudgy Penguins NFTs (5–15%). The filing was made by Cboe BZX Exchange after Canary submitted its initial application in March. Cboe updated the proposal twice, most recently on July 8. The SEC is now inviting public comments on the proposal.
PENGU has seen strong price jumps previously, after ETF-related news. Analysts are also bullish, pointing to a cup-and-handle pattern on the chart, which is a classic signal of continued upward momentum.
One of the analyst notes PENGU might be one of the best bets right now, not just as a meme coin, but also as a way to invest in the growing AbstractChain ecosystem. Analyst Mac notes that the token has broken out of its range highs. There is minimal resistance until $0.0027, suggesting further upside potential in the near term for new investors.
Analyst Ali Martinez recently shared that PENGU is showing strong bullish signs. He calls its current move a “textbook retest” and predicts the token could hit $0.060 by August. If the ETF gets approved, the price could go even higher.
This comes as the memecoin market sees a surge in trading volume. Investor confidence is rising again as PENGU’s funding rate has also turned positive. Whales have also increased their holdings, which shows renewed interest.
The token is holding strong above key moving averages, and with RSI above 60 and support forming near $0.015, signs point to a continued bullish trend, if trading volume rises.
The price is expected to climb 15–20%, possibly reaching $0.0185 to $0.0192 by the end of July. If momentum builds further, the next target is $0.0225. Analysts believe that PENGU is gearing up for another rally in 2025 and may stay strong through the year.
Analysts offer various predictions for PENGU in 2025. Some project it could reach $0.0225 by the end of July and potentially $0.060 by August. Other forecasts range from an average of $0.05 to a high of $0.12, depending on market conditions and adoption.
Reaching $1 is highly ambitious for PENGU, requiring an astronomical market cap increase. While not impossible in the long term with massive adoption and significant token burns, it’s generally considered an unrealistic near-term target given its current supply and market conditions.
PENGU is considered a high-risk, high-reward investment due to its memecoin nature. It offers exposure to meme coin momentum and the Pudgy Penguins NFT brand, appealing to investors comfortable with volatility. Always do your own research.
