Original Article Title: "PENGU Rebounds and Surges 360%, How Can the Chonky Penguin Embrace a Second Spring through IP Marketing?"
Original Article Author: Wenser, Odaily Planet Daily
As BTC's price warms up, the Meme coin track has also seen a resurgence, with the PENGU token, mainly supported by Meme memes and the Pudgy Penguins ecosystem, recently shining—according to OKX data, it has bounced from its bottom price of $0.0037 on April 9 to $0.0134, a staggering 360% increase. At the time of writing, PENGU is currently trading at $0.0124, with a 24-hour increase of 31.43%; additionally, the Pudgy Penguins NFT floor price has risen to 11.5 ETH, a 20% increase compared to the previous period; the trading volume over the past seven days has reached 2,097 ETH, a 242% increase.
After the launch of the Abstract mainnet, the PENGU ecosystem has once again ushered in a second spring, and Odaily Planet Daily will organize the recent developments of the PENGU token in this article for readers' reference.
The Story behind PENGU's Rebound: The Chonky Penguin's Unique Mass Adoption Strategy
The recent rise in the price of the PENGU token is naturally inseparable from the vigorous efforts of Pudgy Penguins CEO Luca Netz.
On April 25, Luca posted on X platform, stating that ardent PENGU supporters can leave their ETH wallet address in the comments section, as the team is preparing something. Subsequently, he emphasized: "Leave your Abstract wallet address." Furthermore, he warned: "If your profile has not mentioned a post about PENGU, then do not comment with your address, as it will be in vain."
Community users speculate that this move may be for early incentives in the Abstract ecosystem or to prepare for the TGE. Currently, the views on these three posts have reached an astonishing 1.6 million, showcasing the enthusiasm of the chonky penguin's meme-like IP and the crypto market for the PENGU token ecosystem.
On April 26, the official Pudgy Penguins account made a post in celebration of "World Penguin Day," and this news was subsequently supported by platforms and institutions such as MetaMask, VanEck, Uniswap, Magic Eden, MoonPay, Phantom, Drip, Binance.US, Gemini, and others.
I have to say, thanks to the Fat Penguin ecosystem's previous outstanding performance, cute IP image, and mature industry relationships, whether it is a crypto asset management institution, a crypto tool platform, or a crypto exchange, they have made many contributions to the external communication and promotion of the PENGU token and the Fat Penguin ecosystem.

Multiple Institutional Platforms Celebrate World Penguin Day Together
Not only that, on April 27, Luca also brought out the "ultimate trump card"—
In a post on Platform X, he stated that if users want to make money by talking about PENGU, they can create UGC, emojis, and Platform X posts around PENGU to receive rewards. By registering on the Whop platform (Odaily Planet Daily note: the platform is a digital goods trading market that serves the creator economy and is known as the "U.S. Edition of Knowledge Planet." The official page shows that there are currently over 10,000+ creators earning income through the platform, earning an average of $7,382 per month, with a total transaction volume exceeding $1.1 billion. The platform previously completed a $17 million Series A financing round in 2023), you can embark on the journey of adding value to PENGU.

Luca Openly Encourages Taking Advantage of Benefits
Thus, PENGU has uniquely embarked on its Mass Adoption attempt.
PENGU's Unique Empowerment: UGC Creator Economy, Earn $2 for Every 1,000 Views
According to information from the Whop platform, users can earn cash incentives by creating PENGU token-related UGC content, meme images, and Platform X posts, receiving $2 for every 1,000 views. This way, Luca has distributed the task of spreading PENGU to the masses through CPM, a true example of "decentralized dissemination."

Whop Platform Information
Previously, according to Fat Penguin Community lead Berko, as of April 25, Fat Penguin-related Meme images had received 10 billion views. The meme images featuring the Fat Penguin character were already able to attract a group of people who like small animals, plush toys, and figurines. Coupled with the ongoing UGC incentives, the PENGU token, and the Fat Penguin-related imagery, perhaps will continue to dominate content platforms, including Platform X, in the near future. This move may further boost the price of the PENGU token and increase mainstream awareness of Fat Penguin and the Abstract ecosystem.
Conclusion: Fat Penguin is using Web2 logic for Web3 growth
Among many crypto projects, Fat Penguin may be a team that truly understands the growth logic of Web2. Previously, in our personal interview with Luca in February of this year, it was mentioned that the size of its IP team is even more than twice that of the crypto business team. The Pudgy Penguins ecosystem has always focused on offline IP, online memes, Abstract live streaming, and other key areas, using Web2 content logic, the real economy, and creator economy to drive brand marketing and token growth.
As the mainstreaming of crypto accelerates, as a U.S.-based crypto company, PENGU and the Abstract ecosystem may also benefit from U.S. policy dividends and institutional support in the future. The future development of Fat Penguin is still worth looking forward to.

Mixin has launched USTD-margined perpetual contracts, bringing derivative trading into the chat scene.
The privacy-focused crypto wallet Mixin announced today the launch of its U-based perpetual contract (a derivative priced in USDT). Unlike traditional exchanges, Mixin has taken a new approach by "liberating" derivative trading from isolated matching engines and embedding it into the instant messaging environment.
Users can directly open positions within the app with leverage of up to 200x, while sharing positions, discussing strategies, and copy trading within private communities. Trading, social interaction, and asset management are integrated into the same interface.
Based on its non-custodial architecture, Mixin has eliminated friction from the traditional onboarding process, allowing users to participate in perpetual contract trading without identity verification.
The trading process has been streamlined into five steps:
· Choose the trading asset
· Select long or short
· Input position size and leverage
· Confirm order details
· Confirm and open the position
The interface provides real-time visualization of price, position, and profit and loss (PnL), allowing users to complete trades without switching between multiple modules.
Mixin has directly integrated social features into the derivative trading environment. Users can create private trading communities and interact around real-time positions:
· End-to-end encrypted private groups supporting up to 1024 members
· End-to-end encrypted voice communication
· One-click position sharing
· One-click trade copying
On the execution side, Mixin aggregates liquidity from multiple sources and accesses decentralized protocol and external market liquidity through a unified trading interface.
By combining social interaction with trade execution, Mixin enables users to collaborate, share, and execute trading strategies instantly within the same environment.
Mixin has also introduced a referral incentive system based on trading behavior:
· Users can join with an invite code
· Up to 60% of trading fees as referral rewards
· Incentive mechanism designed for long-term, sustainable earnings
This model aims to drive user-driven network expansion and organic growth.
Mixin's derivative transactions are built on top of its existing self-custody wallet infrastructure, with core features including:
· Separation of transaction account and asset storage
· User full control over assets
· Platform does not custody user funds
· Built-in privacy mechanisms to reduce data exposure
The system aims to strike a balance between transaction efficiency, asset security, and privacy protection.
Against the background of perpetual contracts becoming a mainstream trading tool, Mixin is exploring a different development direction by lowering barriers, enhancing social and privacy attributes.
The platform does not only view transactions as execution actions but positions them as a networked activity: transactions have social attributes, strategies can be shared, and relationships between individuals also become part of the financial system.
Mixin's design is based on a user-initiated, user-controlled model. The platform neither custodies assets nor executes transactions on behalf of users.
This model aligns with a statement issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on April 13, 2026, titled "Staff Statement on Whether Partial User Interface Used in Preparing Cryptocurrency Securities Transactions May Require Broker-Dealer Registration."
The statement indicates that, under the premise where transactions are entirely initiated and controlled by users, non-custodial service providers that offer neutral interfaces may not need to register as broker-dealers or exchanges.
Mixin is a decentralized, self-custodial privacy wallet designed to provide secure and efficient digital asset management services.
Its core capabilities include:
· Aggregation: integrating multi-chain assets and routing between different transaction paths to simplify user operations
· High liquidity access: connecting to various liquidity sources, including decentralized protocols and external markets
· Decentralization: achieving full user control over assets without relying on custodial intermediaries
· Privacy protection: safeguarding assets and data through MPC, CryptoNote, and end-to-end encrypted communication
Mixin has been in operation for over 8 years, supporting over 40 blockchains and more than 10,000 assets, with a global user base exceeding 10 million and an on-chain self-custodied asset scale of over $1 billion.
