Pudgy Penguins (briefly) surpasses Bitcoin 👀

Growing excitement in the Pudgy Penguins NFT collection saw it briefly surpass Bitcoin in value this week, rising above $100,000 USD for the first time since the launch of the $PENGU token.
Prior to the launch of $PENGU, Pudgy Penguins had a floor price approaching 35 ETH. The launch of $PENGU saw this dive to as low as 15 ETH, but prices have since rebounded, hitting 27 ETH earlier this week.
In the same time period, BTC has fallen from $107,000 USD to $95,500 USD as of writing, with many continuing to be bullish on the potential of Pudgy Penguins as compared to other blockchain-based assets.
