NiftyNoon: Pudgy Penguins Dominate the NFT Market… and Toy Stores!
Other NFTs walked so Pudgy Penguins could fly (October 6, 2023)
Nifty Thought
The ascent of Pudgy Penguins has continued as the team has marched ahead with their toy and branding plans. The team has announced international expansions of their toy distribution in notable countries such as the United Kingdom and Thailand. This comes on the heels of the team’s branding efforts continuing to succeed with normal consumers on platforms such as Instagram and Giphy. While Pudgy Penguin NFTs have not been immune to general market conditions, they have generally trended up over the past year and defied all market expectations. To put things into perspective: in April 2022, Moonbirds were priced at around 30 ETH and Pudgy Penguins were priced at around ETH. Today Pudgy Penguins sell for just over 5 ETH whereas Moonbirds sell for just over 1 ETH. This means, priced in Moonbirds, Pudgy Penguins have grown 150 times over this observation period.
The success of Pudgy Penguins seems poised to continue as the market rallies around Luca, a likable founder that is executing upon a coherent vision. Conversely, most competing projects seem to be floundering with terrible communications, poor execution, and disorganized branding. It is very possible that Pudgy Penguins exit this bear market as one of the only true profile picture “survivors”.
