Meme Coins Pudgy Penguins & Dogecoin Make Waves in Crypto Market

Pudgy Penguins is expanding its reach beyond its original NFT identity. The project has been building momentum with consumer products, storytelling, collectibles, and community experiences. In July 2026, Pudgy Penguins' official recap highlighted the brand's products reaching Target stores nationwide.

The project also returned to San Diego Comic-Con for the fourth consecutive year, debuting the Adventures of Pax Pengu & Polly comic series and new Pudgy Penguins Little Treats blind boxes. This is part of the brand's efforts to extend its intellectual property through entertainment and physical products.

Pudgy World, a browser-based multiplayer experience, was also recently announced. The project continues to expand its retail and licensing presence, demonstrating how a meme-originated brand can build a broader identity.

Dogecoin remains one of the longest-running meme coins in crypto, with fresh developments around regulated investment products emerging this September. 21Shares announced a 1-for-10 reverse share split for its 2x Long Dogecoin ETF, affecting the ETF's share structure rather than changing the underlying DOGE supply.
