From Six Bucks to Eighty-Seven Thousand: A Solana Memecoin Makes Someone Rich

A lucky crypto investor just turned a tiny investment into a massive payday thanks to the new Pudgy Penguins token, PENGU.

A $6 Investment, a $87,000 Payday

According to Arkham Intelligence, someone snagged $6 worth of PENGU, the utility token for the Solana-based NFT project, Pudgy Penguins. They then added it to the Raydium DEX, along with $1100 worth of SOL. Other traders trying to buy PENGU at launch ended up buying from this investor at much higher prices, netting them a cool $87,000 profit in SOL and PENGU.

PENGU’s Explosive Launch

Binance listed PENGU on Tuesday, following its Monday airdrop. It’s already ranked 68th by market cap and is currently trading around $0.0383, up about 12% in the last 24 hours. Pudgy Penguins announced the Solana launch earlier this month, stating that PENGU would have a total supply of 88,888,888,888 tokens. They hoped this would allow fans and the wider public to engage with the project.
