Pudgy Penguins ETF? More Like a Pipedream.
Alright, so now we're talking about a Pudgy Penguins ETF? Give me a break. The crypto world's gone completely nuts.
First off, let's be real: Pudgy Penguins. It started as JPEGs of cartoon penguins. Now they're slapping "ETF" on it? It's like putting a spoiler on a Yugo. Sure, you can do it, but why?
These analysts – and I use that term loosely – are saying PENGU could 50x with an ETF approval? A 50x? Are they smoking something? That's delusional, even by crypto standards.
And Bloomberg Technology is out there asking, "Who doesn’t have a Pudgy Penguin?" Seriously? Most people are trying to figure out how to pay rent, not collect digital birds.
This whole thing smacks of desperation. They're trying to pump life into a meme coin that already peaked. I mean, the facts are right there: PENGU hit its all-time high in December 2024, then it's been downhill ever since. Early hype, rapid peak, then retrenchment. Sounds like every other flash-in-the-pan crypto project, doesn't it? Some traders, however, are bullish on PENGU, even predicting it could reach $1 this year Pudgy Penguins Price Prediction: Traders Flip Bullish On PENGU, $1 This Year?.
And it's all tied to Solana, of course. Everything's "Solana this" and "Solana that." Don't get me wrong, Solana has its uses, but it's also become a breeding ground for these pump-and-dump meme coins.
Then there's this "Snorter" token they're pushing. Fastest Telegram-native crypto trading bot? Raised $5.3 million in its ICO? It's all the same garbage, just repackaged. They promise you'll get "the same level of automation, speed and execution that whales rely on." Yeah, right. More like you'll be whale food.

The article even admits that coins like Pudgy Penguins have "limited upside due to high market cap." So, they're basically saying, "This is old news, buy this other thing instead!" Classic.
But wait, there's more! They're touting "real-time honeypot and rug-pull detection." As if that's some kind of revolutionary feature. Newsflash: if you're relying on a bot to tell you if a crypto project is a scam, you're already screwed.
I gotta ask: are people really this gullible? Are they really falling for this stuff?
This analyst, Kaleo, says PENGU below its all-time high is "basically free." "Flightless birds will once again take flight." Okay, Nostradamus, calm down. It's a JPEG of a penguin, not a phoenix rising from the ashes.
He even predicts PENGU will hit $0.16, giving it a $10 billion valuation. And then one dollar, surpassing Dogecoin's all-time high. Seriously? Where do they get these numbers? Do they just pull them out of thin air? Offcourse, they probably do.
I mean, I'm no financial advisor, but I'm pretty sure betting your life savings on a Pudgy Penguins ETF ain't the smartest move.
Look, I get it. People want to get rich quick. They see these stories of overnight millionaires and think, "That could be me!" But let's be real: the vast majority of people who buy into these meme coins lose money. It's a transfer of wealth from the gullible to the already-rich.
The whole thing just feels...dirty. It's preying on people's hopes and dreams. And honestly, I'm tired of seeing it. Maybe I'm just getting old and cynical. But I ain't buying it.
It's a meme, people. Treat it like one. Don't mortgage your house on it.
