Pudgy Penguins NFT Crypto ETF Seeks SEC Approval

Published at: March 25, 2025

You've heard of NFTs, but what about a crypto ETF backed by a former Walmart toy? That's exactly what's happening now, as Canary Capital files for what could be the first-ever NFT and altcoin ETF—featuring PENGU, the token behind Pudgy Penguins!

What's Happening?


Canary Capital, a major player in institutional crypto trading, just submitted paperwork to the U.S. SEC for a new crypto ETF. Unlike traditional Bitcoin or Ethereum ETFs, this one will primarily invest in:

  • PENGU (Pudgy Penguins' native token)
  • Pudgy Penguins NFTs (originally a Walmart toy line)
  • Other digital assets like Ethereum and Solana (for liquidity)

This move signals growing institutional interest in alternative crypto assets, especially after the SEC approved spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs earlier this year.

Why Does This Matter?


  • First-of-its-kind ETF – Unlike Bitcoin ETFs, this one combines NFTs and altcoins, opening a new investment avenue.
  • Regulatory shift – The SEC has been warming up to crypto, approving spot ETFs while forming a crypto task force for clearer rules.
  • Big market potential – PwC predicts ETF assets could hit $30 trillion by 2029, meaning more crypto ETFs may be coming.

What's Next for Crypto Investors?


With Canary Capital also exploring ETFs for Sui, Hedera, and Litecoin, we might see a wave of altcoin ETFs soon. If approved, this PENGU ETF could set a precedent for NFT-backed funds—bringing digital collectibles into mainstream finance.

Final Thoughts


The crypto world keeps evolving—from memecoins to Walmart toys turning into ETFs. If you're looking for new ways to invest in crypto, keep an eye on this PENGU ETF—it might just be the start of a whole new market trend.
