Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.
What to know:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.

Ripple-linked XRP drops 5%, opening downside risk toward $1.70
Traders are watching $1.80 as near-term support, with $1.87–$1.90 now the key resistance zone.
What to know:
- XRP dropped about 5 percent from $1.91 to near $1.80 as bitcoin’s pullback sparked broad risk-off selling across high-beta tokens.
- The slide accelerated once XRP broke below key support around $1.87 on heavy volume, erasing last week’s gains before buyers stepped in near the $1.78–$1.80 zone.
- Traders now view $1.80 as a crucial support level, with a sustained move back above roughly $1.87–$1.90 needed to signal a corrective pullback rather than the start of a deeper decline.
