The new Solana token entered the market with an initial market cap of around $2.8 billion, only to plunge to just over $1.87 billion. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Pudge Penguins price traded at $0.03301<\/a> as of 3:43 a.m. EST after plummeting 51.8%. The price of the project’s non-fungible tokens (NFTs) also plunged more than 50%.<\/span><\/p>\n

Approximately half of PENGU’s total supply of nearly 89 billion tokens has been distributed to the project’s community members. Of the distributed tokens, 26% have been earmarked for NFT holders.<\/span><\/p>\n

Along with the drop in price, the project saw significant selloffs. Approximately $9.3 million worth of <\/span>PENGU<\/span><\/a>, accounting for 20% of the total supply, was liquidated.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wallets linked to early investors were among those who sold their tokens shortly after launch, dumping large amounts of the new crypto on the market.<\/span><\/p>\n

Buyers tried to fend off the pressure from sellers, but were outmatched. Overall, the 24-hour trading volume for PENGU reached more than $2.34 billion.<\/span><\/p>\n
