What’s Happening With Pudgy Penguins?

This announcement comes amid a series of developments for Pudgy Penguins, including the upcoming launch of a cryptocurrency debit card, The Pengu Card, powered by payments giant Visa Inc. (NYSE:V).

But it’s not all been hunky dory. The NFT brand was hit with a lawsuit filed by Perry Ellis International, the owner of the Original Penguin apparel brand, over alleged trademark infringement.

Price Action: At the time of writing, PENGU, the official token of Pudgy Penguins, was trading at $0.007244, up 7.84% in the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro. 

The Solana (CRYPTO: SOL)-based token may have also benefited from the broader cryptocurrency market upswing.
