尽管 NFT 表现不佳，Pudgy Penguins NFT 代币 (PENGU) 仍飙升 40%

NFT 并不是当今加密货币领域最热门的商品。虽然蓝筹股仍然很有价值（看看你无聊的猿），但每秒都有大量铸造新收藏品的人已经蜂拥而至。

NFTs may not be the hottest topic in crypto right now.

NFT 可能不是目前加密领域最热门的话题。

While the blue chips are still valuable (looking at you Bored Ape), the mass minting of new collections has slowed down significantly.

虽然蓝筹股仍然很有价值（看看你无聊的猿），但新系列的大规模铸造已经显着放缓。

But even in 2025, when NFTs hit – they hit hard.

但即使到了 2025 年，当 NFT 来袭时，它们的打击也很严重。

What Are Pudgy Penguins?

什么是矮胖企鹅？

During the original NFT boom in 2021, Pudgy Penguins was one of Web3’s biggest highlights. The collection, featuring 8,888 cute (and athletically-challenged) penguins, sold out in less than 20 minutes and has since maintained its status as a high-tier digital asset.

在 2021 年最初的 NFT 热潮期间，Pudgy Penguins 是 Web3 的最大亮点之一。该系列包含 8,888 只可爱（且运动能力差）的企鹅，在不到 20 分钟内就售罄，此后一直保持着其高级数字资产的地位。

The expanding ecosystem reached a turning point last month when the developers finally unveiled a native token, PENGU.

上个月，当开发人员最终推出了原生代币 PENGU 时，不断扩大的生态系统达到了一个转折点。

And after some initial difficulties, the token is beginning to live up to its potential.

在经历了一些最初的困难之后，该代币开始发挥其潜力。

Over the past seven days, PENGU has surged nearly 40%, almost跻身 into the top 50 cryptocurrencies by market cap.

过去 7 天，PENGU 飙升近 40%，几乎跻身加密货币市值前 50 名。

According to Coinmarketcap, the seven-day uptrend brought PENGU to a new all-time high – something it hadn’t experienced since its public release.

据 Coinmarketcap 称，连续 7 天的上涨趋势使 PENGU 创下了历史新高，这是自公开发行以来从未经历过的。

Why Is the PENGU Token Soaring While Real Penguins Can't?

为什么PENGU代币飙升，而真正的企鹅却不能？

Putting the biological banter aside, the Pudgy Penguins NFT collection has not performed nearly as well as the token.

撇开生物玩笑不谈，Pudgy Penguins NFT 系列的表现远不如代币。

In the week that PENGU soared (pun intended) by 40%, trading volume for the digital collectibles fell by 50%.

在 PENGU 飙升（双关语） 40% 的那一周，数字收藏品的交易量下降了 50%。

This disparity could simply be a reflection of crypto investors' shifting interests, with a greater focus on broader DeFi ecosystems and their tokens than on NFTs.

这种差异可能只是加密货币投资者兴趣转变的反映，他们更关注更广泛的 DeFi 生态系统及其代币，而不是 NFT。

However, Pudgy Penguins remains the second-largest NFT collection by market cap, securing partnerships with retail giants like Walmart and Target to sell physical toys of the characters.

然而，按市值计算，矮胖企鹅仍然是第二大 NFT 系列，并与沃尔玛和塔吉特等零售巨头建立了合作伙伴关系，销售这些角色的实体玩具。

And on a (un)related note, here's a fun fact: penguins do fly, just not in the air. They evolved to fly through the water, aiding them in catching prey and enduring the freezing cold.

在一个（不）相关的说明中，有一个有趣的事实：企鹅确实会飞，但不是在空中。它们进化出在水中飞行的能力，帮助它们捕捉猎物并忍受严寒。
