A much-needed wave of bullish momentum is rippling through the crypto market as Bitcoin (BTC) holds its gains above the psychological $100,000 level. Market commentators are now backing BTC’s steady growth toward its all-time high of around $109,000, with bullish catalysts like growing institutional interest playing a significant role in this rally.
This renewed optimism has also lifted the total meme coin market cap to above $75 billion, with mainstream favorites like Dogecoin (DOGE), Shiba Inu (SHIB), and Pepe (PEPE) all posting double-digit gains in the past week.
Amid this broad uptrend, Pudgy Penguins (PENGU) is gaining traction after nearly quadrupling in value from its April bottom. With PENGU now sitting around $0.013, speculation is growing about the possibility of another breakout and more explosive pumps.
Meanwhile, the emerging AI-powered token MIND of Pepe (MIND) is now turning heads in its presale phase, having raised more than $9 million.

After rising to its all-time high of $0.07 in December 2024, PENGU retraced sharply in Q1 2025, dipping nearly 94% to around $0.004. This correction aligned with the period’s broader market headwinds, as macro uncertainty negatively impacted investor enthusiasm for altcoins and meme coins.
However, as crypto sentiment turned bullish again, PENGU has enjoyed one of the market’s most impressive rebounds. In just the past week, PENGU’s price has advanced over 15% (reaching the $0.013–0.014 range), while daily volume remains impressive at roughly $500–600 million.
Per popular cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez, the SuperTrend indicator has flipped bullish on PENGU.
Martinez highlighted that a decisive push above the $0.018 resistance level could lead the way to $0.025, a key Fibonacci target.

Fundamental drivers are also supporting PENGU’s current rally. Upbit, South Korea’s largest exchange, listed the token on May 9, giving PENGU exposure to over 6 million Korean retail investors. Combining this with an already existing Binance listing has dramatically expanded PENGU’s global accessibility.
Additionally, the Pudgy Penguin project’s broader ecosystem is also thriving. The official Pudgy Penguins NFT series saw a 250% uptick in weekly sales, surpassing $3 million in total volume. The team also has plans to roll out more physical collectibles and merchandise in mainstream retail stores, and a new blockchain game called Pengu Clash on the TON network.
Still trading nearly 78% below its all-time high at around $0.013, PENGU appears well-positioned to compensate for lost ground if it breaks above the $0.018 resistance. Many traders see a realistic path toward fresh highs, especially if the meme coin market sustains its bullish tone.
Veteran investors are now also backing MIND of Pepe, an early-stage AI agent token that’s reaching new milestones in its presale.
As PENGU attempts to reclaim its previous peak, another project is making waves at the intersection of AI and memes: MIND of Pepe (MIND). It offers a self-evolving AI trading agent to spot profitable trades for its holders.
The project’s AI will combine cutting-edge technologies like persona-trained LLMs, semantic vector matching, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).
Rather than simply scanning for information, this agent will investigate the broader context behind social chatter, on-chain transactions, and liquidity shifts on DEX platforms to create a constantly updated feed of potential opportunities.
MIND is a purpose-built intelligence system that ingests and cross-validates real-time data from across the crypto landscape.
The @MIND_agent is now live. Here are its components:
◉Persona-trained LLM for crypto-native communication
◎Semantic vector matching for context-aware… pic.twitter.com/P6R5DbC4uB— MIND of Pepe (@MINDofPepe) May 10, 2025
A working version of the AI agent already exists on X under the handle @MIND_agent, giving early supporters a glimpse of its capabilities. MIND of Pepe now has plans to roll out a new dashboard that will provide MIND token holders with real-time analytics and signals from the AI agent.
MIND’s presale crossed $9.2 million over the last few days, with the $10 million milestone already in sight.
You can still grab MIND tokens at just $0.0037515—but only about 15 days remain before the presale ends. Buyers can also stake MIND tokens for a dynamic APY of up to 245%.
Given how quickly AI agent tokens have rallied this quarter (projects like Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL) surged 20% in the past week), MIND of Pepe’s viral branding and sophisticated AI tech can give it a massive edge in the AI agent market.
