PENGU: Likely Short-Lived Hype — High Risk to $1

Translation and quick take: you’re asking whether PENGU is a one-week hype pump or a long-term Solana success story that could hit $1. I’m skeptical — it looks more like speculative hype unless there are strong fundamentals behind it.

From a market-structure view, for any token to reach $1 you need either a small circulating supply or a massive market-cap increase. Without transparent tokenomics, real utility, strong on‑chain adoption and deep liquidity, that kind of move is typically a pump-and-dump scenario.

My practical advice: don’t assume it’s the next Solana gem. If you trade it, keep position sizes tiny, avoid shorting illiquid tokens (risk of squeezes and execution failure), and wait for clear confirmation of adoption or sustained volume before committing capital.
