Solana on-chain activity reached a new all-time high, coinciding with a 30% surge in Pudgy Penguins token Pengu. Pengu ( PENGU ), the native token of blue chip NFT series Pudgy Penguins, bounced to within 50% of its previous peak price, buoyed by a Solana ( SOL ) uptick and a broad market recovery on 2024’s Christmas Eve. Pudgy Penguins released its PENGU crypto last week to 7 million eligible wallet addresses. Users have 88 days to claim 23.5% of 88 billion tokens or 20.6 billion coins. PENGU debuted at a $3.5 billion fully diluted valuation, quickly peaking at %0.06 cents after launch. Price data from crypto.news revealed a market correction following the airdrop, but a 30% PENGU porpoise returned the coin to $0.03.
