$HYPE (@HyperliquidX) and $PENGU (@pudgypenguins) are sitting at the top of CoinGecko's trending assets list today, according to data flagged by @BSCNews, with the two tokens drawing the most attention from traders across the market.
Hyperliquid's $HYPE token occupies the number one spot on the trending list. $PENGU follows in second place, backed by a roughly 40% gain over the past seven days. CoinGecko data shows $PENGU up 44.30% over the past week, outperforming the broader crypto market, which is up roughly 11.80% over the same period. The token's 24-hour trading volume also reflects heightened activity, with $254 million in volume recorded in a single day.
The momentum follows a string of positive developments for the Pudgy Penguins brand. Pudgy Penguins secured a strategic partnership with the LBank exchange on August 6, 2026.The brand had earlier expanded its physical presence by placing Pengu plushies in over 1,800 Target stores across the United States in July 2026, and then launched a physical comic book series with scannable elements for digital collectibles around August 2.
Beyond HYPE and PENGU, other assets appearing on CoinGecko's trending list include $SPX, $TAO, $SOL, $PONS, and $BTC. The mix reflects continued appetite for both established large-cap tokens and smaller, narrative-driven names.
Pudgy Penguins started as an NFT collection but has evolved into a multi-faceted brand spanning digital collectibles, gaming, physical merchandise, and financial products, with $PENGU serving as the ecosystem's community and governance token.In the current market environment, $PENGU has behaved like a high-beta, narrative-driven asset, moving sharply alongside broader crypto rallies.
As with any momentum-driven move, traders should note that trending status on aggregators like CoinGecko reflects search activity and recent price action rather than fundamental shifts. Volatility in both directions remains a key risk for assets of this type.
