Pudgy Penguins token PENGU climbed 62.1% over the past week and now trades near $0.0095. Traders link a cryptic post from CEO Luca Netz to the company's stated ambition of a public listing.
The token added roughly 15% in the last 24 hours alone. Meanwhile, its market value sits close to $598 million, ranking PENGU 97th across all cryptocurrencies.
LBank, a centralized crypto exchange, opened a promotional campaign with Pudgy Penguins in August. The program combines trading competitions, giveaways, and yield products that lock user deposits for 30 days. Those locked products keep tokens away from exchange order books for a month at a time. Therefore, the campaign thins the supply available to sellers while it runs.
The brand keeps widening its offline footprint too. Plush toys and collectible figures now sell through Walmart and Target stores across North America. Netz pushed the Target rollout directly to his followers this weekend.
Retail distribution has become the core bull case here. In January, the project moved deeper into sports through its Manchester City NFT deal. That pivot matters more now, because the wider NFT market cap slide has hit blue-chip collections hard this year.

Departures: Aiden Robbins (draft), Jayden Duplantier (graduation), Dariyan Pendergrass (graduation), Ashton Larson (transfer), Maddox Monsour (transfer), Will Hill (transfer)
Additions: Payton Brennan (transfer), Trevor Goldenetz (transfer), Sawyer Solitaria (transfer), Carlos Lugo (transfer), Trent Maybin (signee)
Returning: Anthony Pack Jr., Jonah Williams
SEC Freshman of the Year Anthony Pack Jr. is the returning outfield starter for Texas after a second straight season in which the Longhorns struggled to field three quality contributors. For a second straight year, Jonah Williams also dealt with injury issues, playing in eight games before undergoing season-ending shoulder injury.
Losing Williams, combined with the 2025 MLB Draft defections of transfers Jack Moroknek and Kaleb Freeman, contributed to 94 at bats for Jayden Duplantier, 15 starts for late addition Dariyan Pendergrass, who committed to Texas in December, and 14 starts for Maddox Monsour. In 96 combined at bats, Pendergrass and Monsour totaled three extra-base hits while both hitting under .200.

Eben Etzebeth will make an instant return to the South Africa starting side against England after suspension, with Manie Libbok trusted by the Springboks at fly half.
Etzebeth was handed a long ban after being sent for an eye gouge in his last Test against Wales, and has featured only once since for the Sharks in the United Rugby Championship.
But Rassie Erasmus has immediately thrown his most-capped player back into the second row alongside Ruan Nortje as South Africa begin their Nations Championship campaign in Johannesburg.
With Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu sidelined by injury, Libbok is preferred to Handre Pollard at fly half, while Cheslin Kolbe and Damian Willemse win their 50th caps in the back three.
Siya Kolisi captains a familiar-looking side full of World Cup winners with Erasmus looking forward to an encounter with an England side arriving at Ellis Park on a run of four consecutive Six Nations defeats.

Lauren Lappin has been by Caitlin Lowe‘s side since the former Arizona softball star took over as head coach at her alma mater. Lappin’s loyalty is being rewarded with a promotion to ***** ociate head coach that was announced on Saturday morning.
On game days, Lappin can be seen coaching third base, where television commentators regularly mistake her for Lowe. On practice days, she’s in charge of one of the most critical pieces of Arizona’s game: defense.
She has led the defense as it produced three conference defensive players of the year, including the final two of the old Pac-12. Allie Skaggs was crowned the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year in 2023 after completing a season with a perfect fielding percentage at second base. The Pac-12 gave the honor to shortstop Tayler Biehl in 2024. In 2026, centerfielder Regan Shockey picked up the award in the Big 12.
The Wildcats also had three straight seasons with a Gold Glove winner under Lappin’s guidance. Skaggs won in 2023. Dakota Kennedy got the nod in 2024. Devyn Netz, who was a star in the circle and at first base, received a Gold Glove honor in 2025.
The former All-American at Stanford helped the Wildcats set a program record for double plays in a season in 2026. The team led Division I with 46 double plays in 55 games. The next closest was South Florida, which had five fewer double plays in five more games than the Wildcats.
