The crypto market is seeing renewed attention across several Web3 assets, including Pudgy Penguins (PENGU), Pump.fun (PUMP), and BlockDAG (BDAG). BlockDAG has reported raising $430 million through a token sale and said it has more than 3.5 million users mining via its X1 app. The project has also announced a Binance x BlockDAG LIVE AMA on Friday, October 24, at 3 PM UTC, where it says it will share updates on its roadmap and “Genesis Day,” scheduled for November 26.
Meanwhile, Pudgy Penguins recorded a large weekly sales increase in the NFT market, while PUMP saw higher trading volume during a recent rebound. The figures below are based on publicly available data and project statements where noted.
Pudgy Penguins Post 165% Weekly NFT Sales Increase
During a period of mixed performance across major cryptocurrencies, Pudgy Penguins (PENGU) ranked among the more active NFT collections by weekly sales. NFT trading volume rose 6% week over week, nearing $162 million in total weekly activity. Pudgy Penguins recorded a 165% sales increase to $15.6 million, according to CryptoSlam data.
Ethereum remains the primary blockchain for NFT transactions, and Pudgy Penguins’ weekly sales outpaced collections such as Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) and CryptoPunks during the same period. Market observers have linked the collection’s activity to community engagement, licensing efforts, and broader brand visibility, though drivers can vary week to week. As with other NFTs, liquidity and pricing can change quickly.
Pump.fun Trades Near $0.005 Resistance After Higher Volume
Pump.fun (PUMP) also saw increased activity in the altcoin market. After a consolidation period, PUMP recorded a 4.63% 24-hour gain, bringing its price to $0.003918 alongside a 79% increase in reported trading volume to $347 million.
Some commonly used technical indicators suggested improving short-term momentum: the MACD moved into positive territory, while the RSI at 54.5 indicated a mid-range reading. A divergence on the 4-hour chart was interpreted by some traders as a sign of returning buying interest. In this context, $0.005 has been cited as a nearby resistance level, while support has been noted around $0.00324; however, these levels are not guarantees, and price action can shift quickly.
CoinMarketCap’s community sentiment widget showed 74% of users voting bullish on PUMP’s short-term outlook at the time referenced, though such polls are not representative of the broader market and do not predict performance.
BlockDAG’s Binance AMA Scheduled Ahead of “Genesis Day”
BlockDAG is scheduled to appear in a Binance x BlockDAG AMA on October 24. According to the project, the discussion is intended to provide updates on development progress, ecosystem plans, and its roadmap ahead of “Genesis Day” (November 26).
BlockDAG has publicly reported the following figures related to its token sale and user activity: more than $430 million raised, more than 27 billion BDAG tokens sold, and 312,000 holders. The project also says 20,000 X10 devices have been distributed and that more than 3.5 million users are mining via the X1 app. The article’s references to pricing (including “Batch 31” and a $0.0015 rate) reflect project-provided marketing materials and may change; availability, terms, and final market pricing (if any) are not certain.
On the technical side, BlockDAG describes its network as using a hybrid PoW + PoE design and says it is EVM-compatible. The project also states that its “Awakening Testnet” has demonstrated throughput figures of more than 1,400 TPS and supports features such as EIP-4337 account abstraction and runtime upgrades. These claims have not been independently verified in this article.
The project says the AMA will include discussion of its planned Token Generation Event (TGE) and how it relates to its launch timeline. Any references to potential listing outcomes or future prices are speculative and should be treated as uncertain.
Final Words
Recent data highlighted shifting activity across NFTs and smaller-cap tokens. Pudgy Penguins led weekly NFT sales growth during the period cited, while Pump.fun’s trading volume increased alongside a short-term price rebound.
BlockDAG’s upcoming Binance AMA is presented by the project as a milestone tied to its roadmap and planned launch dates. Readers should treat token sale figures, user counts, and technical performance claims as project-reported unless independently verified.
