Why $PENGU is worth $2.5B and Memeland sits at -XXXXX%
The story of $PENGU and $MEME is a lesson in one thing: execution.
Both launched with strong NFT foundations — Pudgy Penguins for $PENGU, Memeland for $MEME. Both promised Web3 ecosystems, big airdrops, and community-powered growth.
Only one followed through.
MEME: The hype didn’t hold
Launched in October 2023 on Ethereum, $MEME had a head start: 9GAG’s massive Web2 audience, a strong NFT base, and a vision for a creator-led economy with staking, governance, and a metaverse.
But delivery lagged.
Ethereum gas fees limited its use for gaming and microtransactions. The ecosystem rollout was slow. Web2 users didn’t stick. The buzz faded. And the generous airdrop? It backfired — most recipients dumped immediately.
Token Allocation: • XX% to NFT holders (Captainz, Potatoz, MVP) • XX% to team (vested) • XX% to liquidity • XX% to marketing
By July 2025, $MEME was trading at $XXXXX with daily volume near $20M. Market cap sits under $500M. Community activity is minimal. In a saturated meme coin market, it simply doesn’t stand out.
PENGU: Execution on day one
$PENGU launched in December 2024 on Solana and didn’t waste time. Utility was live from the start. Pudgy World integrated the token for gaming, governance, and exclusive access.
The Solana base gave it speed and low fees — perfect for activity-heavy use. The airdrop didn’t just reward NFT holders; it brought in Phantom, Jupiter, and other Solana-native users. The ecosystem expanded fast, and the brand followed through with physical reach — toys in Walmart, 1.7M+ IG followers, 50B+ impressions.
Token Allocation: • XXXX% to Pudgy NFT holders • XXXX% to Solana ecosystem wallets • XXXX% to team (1-year cliff, 3-year vesting) • XXXX% to liquidity • XXXX% to marketing/dev • Unclaimed tokens burned after XX days
Despite an initial XX% sell off (from $XXXXX to $0.032), $PENGU recovered. By July 2025: • Price stabilized at $XXXXX • $2.75B market cap • $2.75B daily volume
Even with overbought RSI signals (87), the community remains active, and expansion plans are already in motion.
Key Takeaway
$MEME had hype but couldn’t execute.
$PENGU delivered early, moved fast, and built something people wanted to be part of.
One feels like a missed chance, the other became a cultural driver, and it's not done.
