# PENGU-USD: Research Summary as of August 29, 2026

## Asset Overview

PENGU is the Solana-based token of the Pudgy Penguins NFT project, launched in December 2024 with a maximum supply of 88,888,888,888 tokens [[10]](https://www.mexc.co/crypto-pulse/article/what-is-pengu-how-pudgy-penguins-became-more-than-an-nft-project-137932). It is important to note that **PENGU does not represent equity ownership** in the Pudgy Penguins company — token holders do not receive toy revenue, licensing profits, or corporate assets. Rather, it functions as a liquid crypto asset associated with the Pudgy Penguins cultural and product ecosystem [DOC-5]. As of late August 2026, PENGU is trading around $0.009–$0.0097, with a market capitalization of approximately $866 million [[5]](https://cryptonews.com/price-predictions/pudgy-penguins-price-prediction/)[[12]](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/pudgy-penguins/)[[13]](https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/pudgy-penguins).
