Bybit Arbitrage is a trading tool that simplifies arbitrage trading by capitalizing on funding rate and price differences.

If you're seeking consistent returns with minimal risk, Bybit Arbitrage is the perfect ally.

 This robust tool empowers you to generate regular profits with minimal risks by capitalizing on price disparities across different markets.

 is the buying and selling of the same or similar asset(s) at the same time across different markets to earn from slight price deviations. This act of purchasing an asset at a fixed price — while simultaneously selling it at a higher price — allows a trader to instantly make profits without any risks. 

While arbitrage trading has long been a staple in traditional financial markets, such as stock and forex, the advent of crypto trading has propelled arbitrage trading to new heights — thanks to the heightened volatility of the crypto market. Additionally, unlike traditional stock markets, crypto markets are traded 24/7, offering more opportunities for arbitrage traders to reap profits from the price gaps across exchanges and markets. 

 across exchanges or within a single exchange. Keep in mind that if you opt to arbitrage trade across different platforms, accessing your profits may prove to be complex, due to the need to transfer your assets between the exchanges, which can take up to several days to complete. On the other hand, arbitrage trading on a single platform is more straightforward — but more competitive as well.

There are multiple arbitrage trading strategies, but the most common ones in the crypto market include funding rates arbitrage, spot-futures arbitrage and futures arbitrage. 

Funding rates arbitrage allows traders to profit from variations in funding rates between 

 contracts. In contrast, spot-futures arbitrage enables traders to profit from price disparities between the spot and 

 for the same asset. Meanwhile, futures arbitrage involves profiting from price discrepancies between futures contracts with different expiration dates.

Bybit Arbitrage is a trading tool that helps traders identify arbitrage trading opportunities in two ways: funding rate and spread. 

The user-friendly interface organizes trading pairs based on either funding rates or spreads in different markets, so that traders can easily spot disparities in funding rate or price across the markets at a glance. 

Bybit Arbitrage is exclusively available to 

 mode. It facilitates arbitrage trading for USDT Perpetual, USDC Perpetual and USDC Futures contracts, thereby allowing you to enjoy arbitrage trading opportunities between USDT 

Spot pairs and USDT Perpetual pairs, or USDC Spot pairs and USDC Perpetual/Futures pairs. 

The Funding Rate Arbitrage feature exploits differences in funding rates between the Spot and Perpetual/Futures markets on the Bybit exchange. With the Funding Rate feature, traders can earn funding fees while simultaneously managing their positions in order to minimize potential losses and maximize gains through positive and negative arbitrage strategies.

Funding rates for the different trading pairs are listed in descending order. This helps traders to easily leverage the interest rate differential between Spot and Perpetual/Futures contracts.

The Funding Rate feature also allows you to 

 orders (with the same amount, but in different directions) in both Spot and Perpetual/Futures, which enables you to earn funding fees while mitigating potential losses (with potential gains).

holders in Futures/Perpetual contracts pay short position holders. You can leverage this situation by executing a positive arbitrage, which involves

 buying a Spot pair and taking a short position in 

Perpetual to earn steady funding fees. Alternatively, if the funding fee is negative, short position holders pay long position holders. In this case, you would perform a negative arbitrage by shorting a Spot pair and going long in a 

The Spread Arbitrage feature helps traders capitalize on price discrepancies between different markets for the same cryptocurrency asset. With this feature, you can easily compare the market prices of an asset traded across various trading pairs and contracts. While Spread Arbitrage may be similar to spot-futures arbitrage, it offers more arbitrage opportunities since it covers a broader range of markets, unlike spot-futures arbitrage, which targets specific markets

With Spread Arbitrage, the aim is to profit from the eventual price convergence as you buy the crypto asset at a lower price in one market (e.g., Spot) and sell it at a higher price in another market (e.g., Futures). 

As the futures price will eventually align with the Spot price when the contract expires, you’ll be able to take advantage of the simultaneous price disparity for the same asset.

In order to trade with Bybit Arbitrage, you’ll first need to

Grayscale Investments, the world's largest crypto asset manager, has filed a registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC to register shares of its Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE) as part of efforts to uplist the trust to a spot Ethereum ETF on the NYSE Arca. This filing follows NYSE Arca’s application and is a crucial step in the regulatory process required for offering shares continuously upon approval. The shares will not be sold until the registration is declared effective, and this offering is subject to the Securities Act of 1933. Grayscale emphasizes that the trust, not registered under the 1940 Act, involves high risk and volatility, is focused solely on Ethereum, and does not offer direct investment in Ethereum.

Eric Balchunas, Bloomberg's Senior ETF Analyst, highlighted the fund's success during a panel on Hong Kong's newly approved spot crypto ETFs. Since its launch in January, IBIT has attracted consistent inflows for over 70 days, accumulating more than $18 billion in assets under management and becoming one of the most successful ETFs in history. The IBIT fund is second only to Grayscale's ETF in terms of assets but has seen remarkable trading volume along with other spot bitcoin ETFs, totaling nearly $230 billion.

Bybit Dual Asset Mining is a non-principal protected investment product with floating returns. Users who deposited crypto can earn an enhanced yield. Learn more.

Dual Asset is a short-term speculation vehicle that lets you capitalize on small price movements in the market. All you have to do is predict the direction of a given crypto asset, such as BTC, ETH or MNT, within a preset time frame. Upon maturity, your returns will be in the form of either USDT or your chosen crypto asset, depending on the outcome of your trade.

Bybit Dual Asset 2.0 is an enhanced version of the predecessor focusing on higher returns on capital for traders with better investment flexibility. Traders could customize their orders by entering different directions of the market trend based on their predictions to enjoy high-interest yields even if the predicted asset price did not trigger.  

Understanding Buy Low, Sell High on Bybit Dual Asset 2.0

 function on Bybit Dual Asset 2.0 refers to a product subscription in which traders anticipate the chosen digital asset to settle at a low targeted price at a predetermined time range. Here’s a user case scenario to help to visualize the product function: 

Alex chooses to buy BTC/USDT Dual Asset, and he will be using USDT as an underlying asset for the subscription to buy BTC at his desired lower crypto price. The yields vary depending on the settlement date, which ranges from 1 to 5 days. Assuming Alex opts for a 1-day subscription with 110% yields in APY, he is entitled to claim rewards in two different scenarios: 

 When the asset target price is reached  

, he will successfully purchase BTC at his desired price with his subscribed USDT and interest income.

His returns will be calculated with the formula provided below: 

 (Subscription Amount + Interest) / Target Price 

 Subscription Amount x APY x Subscription Period (in days)/365 

1,000 + ( 1,000 × 110% × 1/365) / 21,000 = 0.04776 BTC

Assuming the BTC price is $23,000 when cash out, Alex’s gross return on investment for the chosen Dual Asset subscription would be $1,098.48. 

 When the asset target price fails to reach  

, the target crypto will fail to be purchased, and you’ll receive your subscription amount and interest income in USDT.

Assuming the settlement price is higher than the target asset price, settling at $21,500. Alex’s return on investment will be calculated as below: 

1,000 + (1,000 × 110% × 1/365) = 1,003.0137 USDT

Even though Alex failed to purchase BTC at his desired price, he still earned rewards on his contributed USDT in the Dual Asset pool. It is still a win-win situation for Alex, as he did not lose any money for opportunity costs. 

: In both cases, Alex will still earn interest on his investment in the form of USDT. 

, in which traders anticipate selling the chosen digital assets at a higher targeted price within a predetermined date. Here’s a user case scenario to help to visualize the product function: 

Alex chooses to sell BTC/USDT Dual Asset, and he will be using USDT as an underlying asset for the subscription to sell BTC at his desired crypto price at a higher anticipated price. The yields vary depending on the settlement date, which ranges from 1 to 7 days. Assuming Alex opts for a 1-day subscription with 150% yields in APY, he is entitled to claim rewards in two different scenarios: 

 When the asset target price of $24,000 is reached  

, he will successfully sell his BTC at his desired price and receive USDT in return.

 (Subscription Amount + Interest) x Target Price

Assuming the settlement price is higher than the target asset price, settling at $24,000. Alex’s return on investment will be calculated as below: 

1 + (1 × 150% × 1/365) × 24,000 = $98.6301

Alex’s return on investment would be a total of 24,098.6301 USDT, including his capital of 24,000 USDT and the yields. 

 When the asset target price failed to reach, settling at $23,000. 

, he fails to sell his crypto at the target price and will receive yields in BTC as a return. 

When converting 1.0041 BTC to USDT at $23,00 per BTC, Alex will receive 23,094.30 USDT, including the yields.

Understanding the Post-ETF & Post-Halving Landscape: Challenges and Opportunities

 in early 2024, along with the April 11, 2024 

 have painted a complex canvas for 2024. Lennix Lai highlighted the new post-ETF market dynamics in his introduction, emphasizing the influx of traditional capital and varied market participants. The uncertainty of post-halving effects, as well as their interplay with broader economic factors, also present a complex scenario. Lai noted, "Halving was more impactful in the early stages. Now, we must consider macroeconomics as well."

Hao delved into the specifics of market supply-and-demand influences, stating that the introduction of a Bitcoin Spot ETF has certainly “opened up the floodgates to institutional money,” which traditionally hasn’t been as involved in crypto. This new demand has driven up prices. However, the halving also cuts supply significantly, even though its impact lessens with each cycle (due to the finite nature of Bitcoin). He further explained that we're seeing a convergence of the total circulating supply toward the 

, which will naturally diminish the supply-side impact over time.

Croft commented on the strategic implications of these events, sharing that both the Bitcoin Spot ETFs and halving narratives have been major topics. While their immediate impacts might not stir significant volatility, BTC price action tends to follow a pattern over months following a halving in what is essentially a sophisticated market that likely has these factors priced in already. Croft emphasized the market's evolving sophistication: "Immediate impacts might be muted, but the long-term effects are worth noting. Historically, the period from halving to peak has extended, showing that the real impact unfolds over months."

Thompson synthesized their insights, concluding that while immediate market reaction may be subdued, underlying shifts in market fundamentals will likely drive significant change over the medium-to-long term.

Market Trends and Predictions: Insights Into the Current Bull Run

The panel then moved on to discuss the current bull run, emphasizing the reduced market volatility, which suggests a maturing market. Hao observed the trend toward market maturity: "As we witness diminishing volatility, it's indicative of a maturing market. This maturity suggests that cryptocurrencies are moving toward mainstream acceptance, making the market less volatile but still rich with opportunities for both retail and institutional investors."

Lai discussed the evolving demographics and behaviors of market participants. As the market matures, the correlation with traditional macroeconomic factors becomes more pronounced. This bull run isn’t just about speculative interest, as it’s being driven by more foundational changes in the market structure that include the effects of the halving and the influx of new institutional players.

"In the short term, Bitcoin behaves like a risky asset class, influenced by positive sentiments pre-halving," Lai said.

Thompson added, "It appears that market participants are reacting preemptively to these events, a behavior akin to front-running, which has historically proven to influence Bitcoin's price trajectory well before the halving actually occurs."

Croft added that the narrative around these market events often precedes actual price action: by the time we see movement, the market has already digested the news. What's compelling is how these narratives develop and run their course over time, shaping market behavior in less direct but profound ways.

Maximizing Market Performance for Crypto Users

Leveraging Derivatives and Options Markets for Enhanced Performance

The next segment discussed ways in which 

 might offer a viable dynamic to certain traders, and how that could impact the market.

, averring that options and derivatives are being used more strategically than ever. They're not just being used for hedging, but are integral to the investment strategies of various institutional players. This is a testament to the market's maturation and the sophistication of the products available. Croft noted, “We’re seeing lots of these guys come into our CFD products” [CFD products are similar to 

] … and these investors “look to go long or short in a particular basket or individual tokens and try to pick out the performers and underperformers.” 

When asked about his usage of the phrase “[basket of] tokens,” Croft clarified that he wasn’t talking about indexes, but rather about how “someone could come in and get ten tokens they want to go short on, and ten tokens they want to go long on, and we can execute that. So it’s those clients choosing those baskets themselves rather than the products being preset.” Croft shared that Wintermute recently launched a new index provider, 

, and is looking toward working with other exchanges to help provide comprehensive, reliable and accessible indices.

The Rise of Meme Coins in the Crypto Market

Lai then discussed the evolution of market products, commenting that as the market evolves, so too must our products. Derivatives and options markets are crucial for providing the flexibility and tools users need to navigate this complex environment.

Hao focused on the technical aspects, maintaining that the real challenges and opportunities lie in enhancing the robustness of these tools. As we develop more sophisticated trading derivatives and options, we're not just creating new investment opportunities — we're also setting the stage for a more resilient market.

Thompson concluded this segment: "Clearly, the role of advanced financial instruments like derivatives and options is becoming more central as the market grows in complexity and scale."

When asked to comment on meme coins, Hao said it’s a “social movement starting from Wall Street and GameStop” and that it’s a “way to get people together … It can be a force for good instead of a tool for speculation.” Hao then shared about Bybit’s new initiative, the 

, explaining that it could be used for a charity or fundraising, linking it to a meme coin that’s “naturally inspiring and easy for people to understand.” In this way, meme coins can “be a force for good, to raise a charity fund for cancer treatment” or other causes.

Croft agreed, sharing his perspective that as long as meme coins are “fully transparent” and the projects make it clear that they’re part of a social movement whose participants who believe in and buy in to the cause, he’s “all for crypto facilitating that.”

Lai commented that memes are a sort of collective, and that not all meme coins are going to be successful. While they may be easy to create, it’s difficult to collectively get consensus from any large group of people. 

, expressing support for it and emphasizing that RWAs are “the link between traditional finance and crypto. That’s the last mile before crypto can be a real financial system, a link to the real-world economy.” He concluded that it’s certainly something he would “bet big on,” especially with more RWAs now on-chain.

How Exchanges and Institutions Adapt to Changing Market Dynamics

Innovation in Exchange Offerings: New Products, Services and Trading Pairs

Lai discussed the continuous need for innovation in the crypto exchange space, saying that as market dynamics evolve, so too must our platforms, focusing not just on expanding product offerings but also on enhancing underlying technology. Decreasing system latency and improving resilience and the sophistication of 

 systems is critical to staying ahead in the fast-paced environment.

Hao emphasized the importance of reliability and scalability, asserting that the foundation of any successful exchange lies in the robustness of its trading systems. As Bybit introduces more complex products and services, our priority remains ensuring that our matching engine and order processing systems can handle increased volumes without compromise. This is crucial for maintaining trust and efficiency in our operations.

Croft highlighted the strategic role of liquidity in product innovation, elaborating that Wintermute is closely involved in the initial stages of product launches by providing liquidity. This collaboration is essential for the successful rollout of new offerings. The ability to support exchanges from day one with robust liquidity helps ensure that new products can find a stable market footing.

Thompson summed up the discussion, observing that the adaptation of exchanges to market changes isn’t just about technological advancements, but also about understanding and integrating the needs of diverse market participants. This approach helps in crafting services that truly meet the evolving demands of the crypto market.

Global Market Integration: Collaborations and Partnerships for Sustainable Growth

Hao envisions a future of deeper integration between crypto and traditional financial systems. He referred to his comment during the segment on real-world assets, elaborating that the last frontier for a mature crypto ecosystem is its integration with the real economy. Tokenizing RWAs and streamlining processes such as clearing and settlement through blockchain technologies are steps toward this integration. These innovations will make many traditional roles obsolete, dramatically improving efficiency.

Lai projects the mainstreaming of crypto in traditional finance: we’re at a turning point, in which cryptocurrency is being woven into the fabric of TradFi services. The integration of trading infrastructure, exchange products and custody solutions between crypto and TradFi is accelerating. This convergence suggests that crypto will soon be an indistinguishable part of the broader financial ecosystem.

 as a critical bridge between fiat and crypto economies. Their growth into yield-bearing and basis-trading instruments shows their potential to transform financial services. These instruments thus play a pivotal role in the integration of crypto markets with TradFi, ensuring liquidity and stability.

Thompson highlighted the importance of collaboration, pointing out that the future of crypto isn't just about technological innovation but also about strategic partnerships. Collaborations between liquidity providers, exchanges and possibly even decentralized platforms are key to creating a seamless, integrated market experience.

Contrary to popular belief, Pudgy Penguins aren't dead. From children's books to a new owner, here's how Pudgy Penguin NFTs are making their Web 3.0 comeback.

, an acronym for “non-fungible tokens,” are a subcategory of cryptocurrencies that represents ownership of a unique asset. They’ve taken the investing world by storm because they represent a new and unique class of asset. Since Pudgy Penguin NFTs appear in the news often, we aren’t surprised the adorable birds have piqued the interest of anyone remotely interested in this currency type. 

If you’re curious as to why these Antarctic avian dwellers are attracting the attention of NFT enthusiasts, read on. From a change in the project’s leadership to celebrities adopting them, we’ll address everything you need to know about Pudgy Penguins, and how they’re planning to shake up Web 3.0.

Pudgy Penguin NFTs embody empathy, meaningfulness and compassion as their theme. The Pudgy Penguin NFT collection includes 8,888 individual NFTs. Like other popular NFT projects, Pudgy Penguins are hosted on the Ethereum blockchain.

The Pudgy Penguin NFT group flocked onto the scene in the summer of 2021. It quickly became one of the most popular NFT projects. Sales rocketed partly because of the individualized, exclusive niche the Pudgy Penguin NFT occupied in the NFT space and how involved the community seemed to be in the future of the project.

The original founders of the Pudgy Penguin NFT project were college students — one being Cole Villemain, also known as ColeTherium. The original creators made big promises regarding the project's future, including the development of their own token launch, a children’s book, a metaverse game and more. When these promises failed to materialize, the Pudgy Penguin NFT project fell into disfavor. Furthermore, Cole Villemain himself was outed for running paid promotions of NFT projects without disclosing that he’d received remuneration for them. He was also found to have siphoned off funds from the Pudgy Penguin NFT project's treasury.

In late 2021, the Pudgy Penguin NFT community ousted the original founders of the project. After months of turmoil, a bidding war broke out in January 2022 for the Pudgy Penguin NFT collection. Main suitors included Luca Schnetzler a.k.a. Luca Netz of Netz Capital, Mintable.app founder Zach Burks and NFT influencer BeanieMaxi.

The Pudgy Penguin NFT group was sold in April 2022 to Los Angeles–based Netz Capital for 750 ETH, or roughly $2.5 million. Netz, the former German footballer turned e-commerce entrepreneur and investor, is now leading the project. He’ll receive royalties on all future secondary sales of Pudgy Penguin NFTs. Drew Koven, the co-managing director of LDR Ventures, an L.A. investment firm, is also involved in the Pudgy Penguin NFT venture. According to Villemain, the original team wished to see their creation move on to the next level, and felt the new leadership has the ability and connections to see it through.

One reason the Pudgy Penguin NFT is such a hit is that it represents the glue that holds a particular NFT community together. NFT communities attract many people because they bring together like-minded individuals who not only share common interests, but who also collaborate and have fun.

The Pudgy Penguin NFT community has its own vibe and terminology. For example, penguins are called “pengus.” Pudgy Penguin owners are “huddlers.” “Tufts” refers to a rare and valuable type of penguin with no head covering. “Floors” are more common, less costly penguins. In part, the special parlance makes for a close-knit community. It also adds to the NFT intrigue, creates a buzz, and attracts others to the community — which can propel prices higher.

, which formed around a collection of 10,000 pixel-themed tokens that came to market in 2017. Launched by Larva Labs, CryptoPunks feature somewhat scruffy-looking humans, as well as zombies, apes and aliens. CryptoPunks quickly rose to luxury status, with individual NFTs selling for millions of dollars. They catalyzed the creation of other NFT communities, including the 

, a collection of 10,000 cartoon primates that now fetch upward of $45,000 each.

Another reason why Pudgy Penguin NFTs are in vogue is because of their profit potential. NFT holders and speculators typically hope to sell them at a higher price than they originally paid. After the Pudgy Penguin price drop on OpenSea in Fall 2021, investors saw the potential for major gains, given that other NFTs had become so expensive.

Only 8,888 Pudgy Penguins are available on the Ethereum blockchain. Each one is unique, and although all are scarce, some are more rare than others and bring higher prices. For example, only 58 Pudgy Penguins have a crown. The rarest one is left-facing, unlike the other right-facing birds. The characteristics that make for rare penguins can be researched on Pudgy Penguins’ OpenSea page, or with a 

Another aspect of the increasing popularity of the Pudgy Penguin NFT is the number of celebrity owners who have dived into the community. Notable among them are star NBA player Steph Curry and the Canadian rapper Tory Lanez. Celebrities often have a fair amount of money to spend, and their presence adds to the mystique of Pudgy Penguin NFTs. Celebrities also add value to NFTs because of their buying capabilities, which can drive up prices.

One important aspect of the overall appeal of the Pudgy Penguin NFT is the squeaky-clean image of the lovable, iconic penguin. The design embodies warmth, positivity and empathy — uncommon characteristics in some other NFT communities. For example, the Bored Ape Yacht Club and CryptoPunk communities focus on darker-themed NFTs.

As of Sept. 5, 2022, 4,546 NFT holders own the 8,888 Pudgy Penguin NFTs. Collectively, the Pudgy Penguin NFT collection has a total market cap of $47,082,185, according to CoinGecko.

As of mid-August 2022, Pudgy Penguins had amassed a total sales volume of $155 million, according to NFT ranking group 

. Sales were quite robust from the project's inception through July 21 in 2021, with single-day sales topping out at over 12,500 NFTs. The average price paid per Pudgy Penguin ranged as high as $11,583 during August and September 2021.

After a period of relative quiescence during the ownership drama, sales have picked up again. For example, on April 5, 2022, secondary daily sales of Pudgy Penguin NFTs surged to $2.95 million. The floor price rocketed again in August 2022, partly in response to the public introduction of a nine-member advisory board, created to preserve the integrity of the Pudgy Penguin NFT project.

The highest price ever paid for a Pudgy Penguin NFT took place in late August 2022, according to 

. Pudgy Penguin #6873, the rarest of the series, which features the left-facing bird against a green background, sold for 400 ETH on Pudgy Penguins OpenSea. Coming in second is Pudgy Penguin #7365 and was sold for 69 ETH. With such extravagant prices, Pudgy Penguins slowly captured more attention from speculators as it began to 

Just like other popular NFT-related ecosystems, Pudgy Penguins presents a healthy ecosystem with a great degree of diversity. Here are the members of the Pudgy Penguins ecosystem.

Pudgy Toys represent a tangible addition of Pudgy Penguins in the physical world. In August 2022, the Pudgy Toys lineup was introduced and can be licensed directly from the community. The initial announcement caused prices for Pudgy Penguin NFTs to surge as speculators anticipated future Web 2.0 and 3.0 collaborations that could bring Pudgy Penguins more attention.

Building upon its brand of positive vibes, the Pudgy Penguins team has partnered with Green Kids Club to publish a children’s book series. By featuring Pudgy Penguin and Lil Pudgy NFT characters, licensed with the community’s approval, the series acts as yet another marketing push to reach a broader audience and strengthen its brand. As a bonus, the team pledges to donate a portion of all book sales to penguin conservation programs.

A variety of apparel is another physical part of the Pudgy Penguin NFT experience. Short- and long-sleeved shirts, hoodies and hats, which reflect the fan base’s undying love for their feathered friends, are available for purchase. You can also get custom-printed T-shirts, sweatshirts, mugs and more, outfitted with your own Pudgy Penguin.

, a collection of 22,222 unique NFTs, are companions of Pudgy Penguins. The first 8,000 were reserved for existing Pudgy Penguin NFT holders. Lil Pudgys are available on the Ethereum blockchain. Because they’re considerably less expensive than Pudgy Penguins, they provide an opportunity to individuals with less capital to spend on NFTs.

 is another collection of NFTs based on the Pudgy Penguins ecosystem. On August 30, 2021, Pudgy Presents — to be unwrapped on Christmas Day — were air-dropped to Pudgy Penguin holders. While it was a pleasant surprise for loyal pengus and huddlers, it turned to dismay as the Pudgy Rods drew harsh criticism and were spelled “rogs” instead of “rods.”

However, despite Pudgy Rods’ rocky start, the community still holds strong to the value of these fishing rods. In hope of their becoming useful assets in a future Pudgy Penguins–related game, only time will tell whether the ambitious plans will be fully rolled out. 

On July 22, 2022, the one-year anniversary of the Pudgy Penguin NFT launch, 

 was introduced. As an example of a Soulbound token, truePengu is a non-tradable token that categorizes each member of the community into a specific coveted class.

Three truePengu tokens were created: The Ice truePengu, the Iridescent truePengu and the Gold truePengu. Ice truePengu was designed for owners of Pudgy Penguin, Lil Pudgy and Pudgy Rod NFTs. Iridescent truePengu was created for holders of Pudgy Penguin NFT and Lil Pudgy NFT. Gold truePengu is reserved for those who hold Pudgy Penguin NFTs. Pudgy Penguin owners received their unique Soulbound tokens via airdrop.

Pudgy Penguin NFTs are bought and sold at a variety of prices, depending on the rarity of the bird and the prices being paid in the overall NFT market.
