The news followed by just a few hours saw the PENGU Price leap by almost 21%, supported by a huge spike in the trading volume. The market cap exceeded more than $2 billion worth.
Pudgy Party Game Launch
The launch of "Pudgy Party," the social game associated with the brand Pudgy Penguins, is scheduled for August. It created the hype for the token, it will be released on Google play and Apple store.
Suplay Partnership
The deal with Suplay is not just a deal, it's an expansion into one of the largest gaming and collectibles markets in the world. Suplay's established retail network in China may provide this project with the boost in brand awareness that they need. Traders ran in to grab it in response, driving the PENGU price through the roof.

Coinbase X Profile Changed to PENGU
Market sentiment was also fueled by meme culture. Just recently, Coinbase swapped its X (formerly Twitter) profile picture for a penguin, causing crypto Twitter to go into a frenzy. This small update sparked a talk that Coinbase could list or promote this meme coin in some way or the other, fueling the surge.
Adding to the hype, Canary Capital had filed a PENGU ETF in March. Now, it is being reviewed as well as over 20 other crypto-based ETFs. Although approval remains doubtful, Polymarket puts the chance at about 50%, just the possibility of an ETF serving to increase investor interest.
The hype surrounding altcoins in general has also benefited. A 36% monthly increase in smaller tokens has led a lot of traders to rotate into meme coins and riskier assets.
Even with the bullish momentum, there are some warning signs.
Technical indicators RSI at 93.47, indicate that it may be overbought. That is, it could experience a short-term decline as early investors take profits.
Also, the ETF is not assured, and any rejection or delay may affect price momentum.
Nevertheless, the coming out in August of "Pudgy Party," a social game that is associated with this project, can become a new catalyst if it becomes popular among users. If the game performs well, and if Suplay is successful in promoting the products in Asian markets, the potential for upside may remain.
PENGU Price has surged more than 137% over the last 7 days to a record high of $0.034. The price is accelerating with good volume, indicating very high demand from investors. It is currently trading at $0.03475 with an increase of 13% in a day as per the CoinMarketCap.

As it climbed so sharply, a short-term correction is possible if profit taking starts. Provided it remains above $0.030, the rally could persist. If it goes below $0.022, it might experience further selling.
The forthcoming game launch and ETF rumors will most probably determine the direction of the PENGU Price.
Currently, prices of Pudgy Penguine tokens are surfing on a tide of positive news. The next few weeks will determine if this is a short-term pump or the beginning of a longer run based on actual adoption in new markets.
