Pippin and Pengu Crypto Lift Meme Coin Market: The Start of a Meme Frenzy?
Two meme coins, PIPIN crypto and Pudgy Penguins, PENGU, are causing a stir among meme coin enthusiasts. Why? However, Pippin recently crossed the 500 million dollar market mark after a strong daily performance, while Pengu continues to draw steady volume, as well as an 8% price increase, due to its NFT roots and product strength.

Their combined performance has traders taking a closer look: Is this the first sign of the meme coin cycle warming up?
Let’s take a look at what actually happened.

Pippin Crypto Breaks $500M Market Cap with 69% Daily Surge and Strong Solana Momentum

Pippin (PIPPIN) delivered the cleanest move in recent memory, jumping over 69% in one day to reach around $0.55, now trading around $0.50, and pushing daily trading volume to over $122 million. That meeting took its fully diluted market cap past $500 million. But Pippin got used to these crazy moves, and the most violent corrections.
In the past week, it has recovered from a decline near $0.27, holding an upward channel as some public comments indicated that a few funds appear to be controlling a large portion of the supply.
From its all-time low of $0.0055, Pippin is still up over 9,000%. If buyers defend the $0.40–$0.42 area, many expect another test of the $0.50–$0.55 resistance area, before another leg up, although a broad Solana pullback could test support immediately.
There are red flags: violent price fluctuations; tight supply control with several wallets. These types of runs usually end up in large resolutions, so if you like PIPPIN, beware; carries great danger.

PENGU Holds Strong Post-Launch Pump 18,000% With $100M+ Daily Volume
Pedgy Penguins, Pengu, was launched in mid-December 2024 and exploded by 18,000% in its first big run, reaching a $2.6 billion market cap. Currently, it trades around $0.01, about $819 million in FDV, and 24-hour volumes often exceed $100 million.
Its all-time high remains at $0.057, while the cycle low was around $0.0037. In the past seven days, Pengu has gained 3%, +8% in the last 24 hours, quietly outperforming many big names during a cautious market.
This meme has its own trick: A combination of Pudgy Penguins NFT, regular exchange deposits, and a growing real-world product that includes toys, clothing, and events.
That combination keeps the trade active and gives you a stronger edge than most pure meme games.

Are Pippin and Pengu Early Signs That the Meme Coin Market Is Resurging?
The pairing of Pippin’s explosive profits and Pengu’s reliable volume has begun to power the widespread meme coin. Similar Solana-based tokens like CLAWD have accelerated in their wake, and overall trading activity for the meme token is significantly higher than it was a few weeks ago.

Although concentrated supply and rapid mood swings are always dangerous, the fact that the two operate in different styles, one quick exit, one strong accumulation, raises real interest rather than a one-time pump. If Pippin crypto continues to rise and Pengu holds its base, it could be the first clear catalysts to revive the wider meme coin, attracting new capital.
For now, they’re a reminder that even in a cautious market, a well-timed meme narrative can still bring big returns.
