Las cripto ballenas intercambian desenfrenadamente sus monedas para comprar PENGU
Pudgy Penguins (PENGU), el token de criptomoneda lanzado recientemente vinculado a la popular colección NFT, captó una importante atención del mercado la semana pasada. La criptomoneda ha sido testigo de un aumento en la actividad de las ballenas, con algunos poseedores de tokens vendiendo para compensar pérdidas y otros acumulando acumulaciones masivas, lo que indica la posibilidad de una pronta recuperación del mercado.
Datos recientes de Lookonchain muestran que una ballena, que anteriormente había ganado 9,5 millones de dólares con los tokens ai16z, realizó un importante intercambio de 500.000 tokens ai16z (valorados en 412.000 dólares) por PENGU.

Pudgy Penguins’ $PENGU token has experienced extreme volatility since its launch. On December 17, the token’s price skyrocketed by nearly 500% within its first hours of trading, climbing from $0.01141 to an all-time high (ATH) of $0.06845, according to CoinGecko.
However, this meteoric rise was followed by a sharp correction, with the price dropping to $0.031 by December 18, marking a 55% decline from its ATH. The token’s price has since stabilized within a range of $0.033 to $0.039 per token over the past seven days, with a low of $0.023 observed during this period.
Despite the volatility, the project’s official social media channels reported that PENGU has surpassed 500,000 holders, indicating strong interest and adoption among investors. The surge in liquidity has also been mirrored by increased trading volumes. On December 24, PENGU’s market cap soared past $2.26 billion.
Blockchain security experts warn of a hack targeting Pudgy Penguins users
Meanwhile, blockchain security analysts have uncovered a new scam targeting cryptocurrency users through malicious advertisements on Google’s ad network. The scam specifically aims at users of Pudgy Penguins by exploiting Google ads to lure unsuspecting users into visiting fraudulent websites.
According to Scam Sniffer, a blockchain security firm, the ads reportedly embed suspicious JavaScript code designed to detect if the visitor has a crypto wallet. Upon detecting a wallet, the code redirects users to a fake website that closely mimics the legitimate Pudgy Penguins website.

The fraudulent site’s objective is to trick users into connecting their wallets, thereby enabling scammers to gain unauthorized access to their funds or NFTs. While Pudgy Penguins is the current focus of the scam, Scam Sniffer has warned that this method could easily be adapted to target other cryptocurrency projects. The security firm advises crypto users to install ad blockers, use a dedicated browser for Web3 interactions, and always verify website URLs before connecting their wallets.
