Crypto whales rampantly exchange their coins to buy PENGU
The Pudgy Penguins ($PENGU) cryptocurrency has been making waves in the market, especially with a surge in whale activity. Over the past week, significant exchanges have occurred as crypto whales accumulate large amounts of PENGU tokens, signaling potential market growth.
Notable transactions include a whale who had previously profited $9.5 million from ai16z tokens, exchanging 500,000 ai16z (worth $412,000) for $PENGU. This investor spent a total of $2.47 million to acquire 79.9 million $PENGU tokens in the last eight days and is already seeing unrealized profits of $835,000.
Another major investor, who received 116.7 million PENGU tokens in an airdrop, has increased their holdings significantly after the token's price surged by 660%. The airdropped tokens, initially worth $394,000, are now valued at $4.4 million, and the whale spent 5,250 Solana ($1 million) to purchase additional tokens, bringing their total to 151.12 million tokens valued at $5.748 million.
Additionally, a newly created wallet amassed 538.4 million PENGU tokens, valued at over $20 million, on December 24. The whale's acquisition was done at an average price of $0.028 per token.
Pudgy Penguins' token, $PENGU, has faced extreme volatility since launch, seeing a dramatic 500% increase in its price within hours of trading on December 17, reaching an all-time high (ATH) of $0.06845. However, after a sharp correction, the price fell to $0.031 by December 18. It has since stabilized between $0.033 and $0.039, with a low of $0.023 observed recently. Despite this volatility, the project has gained significant traction, surpassing 500,000 holders and reaching a market cap of over $2.26 billion.
In parallel, a new scam targeting Pudgy Penguins users has emerged, with fraudulent ads on Google’s network directing users to a fake website designed to steal crypto wallet information. Blockchain security firm Scam Sniffer discovered the scam, which uses JavaScript code to identify crypto wallets and redirect users to the counterfeit site.
The volatility and security concerns, the $PENGU token is drawing strong interest, with increased trading volume and significant whale investments reflecting confidence in its future potential.
