Amid a broader market rally, Pudgy Penguins’ floor price too hit a new all-time high on Thursday, alongside other collections like Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) and CryptoPunks. At the time of writing, Pudgy Penguins have a floor price of approximately 19.49 ETH, which is valued at about $75,406, with a market cap reaching around $670 million, as per CoinGecko’s dashboard . In the last 24 hours, its trading volume has skyrocketed by 331%, surpassing $16.47 million. The post Pudgy Penguins NFT Project Set to Release Pengu Token on Solana appeared first on CryptoPotato .
