About

As of January 2025, Pudgy Penguins is the number two top NFT collection by market cap on OpenSea, with a market cap of $710,520,131 (220,422 ETH). In December 2024, Pudgy Penguins launched the $PENGU meme coin on Solana.

Memes

The Pudgy Penguins website has a meme creator, which allows you to place Pudgy Penguins in well-used meme formats.[9] They also have a section on the site for submitting memes featuring their characters.[10]

In January 2025, several Redditors began uploading memes featuring the penguins to meme subreddits, namely /r/DankMemes and /r/Memes, with some gaining notable traction and engagement. For example, on January 9th, 2025, Redditor u/XDEC0DE posted a meme to /r/Memes[11] that garnered over 1,400 upvotes in under a day.

That same day, Redditor u/alish_sapkota posted a meme featuring a pudgy penguin to /r/DankMemes,[12] garnering over 3,300 upvotes in under a day.

A meme reading, "How I sleep at night after pirating music and TV series instead of paying for Spotify and Netflix." The meme shows a Pudgy Penguin in bed with a big stack of money.
