In that context, Pudgy Penguins is leveraging Edgen+ to offer PENGU holders access to advanced experience and additional rewards.

As the collaboration extends, PENGU investors can enjoy free access to Edgen+’s Expert Plan for a premium experience.

Pudgy Penguins’ native token maintained a bullish stance after the announcement.

PENGU is now 10% up on its 24-hour chart, exchanging hands at $0.01136.

Improved broader sentiments in the past day and Edgen’s partnership expansion propel PENGU’s price.

Whether PENGU continues its rally in the near-term or corrects depends on the overall crypto market performance.
