🐧 Meme coin crashes 75%, but Pudgy Penguins rebounds against the trend
According to Blockchain Magazine (March 30) and Spoted Crypto data, the total market value of the Meme coin sector plummeted from $150.6 billion in December 2024 to $31 billion (-75%), but some projects are performing strongly against the trend.
📈 Recent performance of Pudgy Penguins (PENGU):
• NFT floor price increased by 18% week-on-week
• PENGU token listed as one of today’s hot assets
• Social media discussion volume rising against the trend
🔍 Why can PENGU go against the trend?
1. Successful IP commercialization: Pudgy Penguins' physical toys continue to sell well in retail channels such as Walmart
2. Strong community stickiness: does not rely on pure speculative narratives, has real brand value
3. "Safe haven effect" in a fearful market: funds flowing from purely speculative Meme coins to projects supported by IP
⚠️ But be cautious:
• The overall Meme coin market is still in a deep bear market
• DOGE social metrics surged 140% week-on-week, but the price only slightly increased by 2.31%—popularity does not equal buying power
• In an environment with a fear and greed index of 8, any rebound could be short-lived
💡 Core lesson for Meme coin investment: Purely speculative Meme coins without IP, community, or application scenarios are nearly worthless in a bear market. Choosing projects with real value support is essential to navigate the cycle.
