Cboe has officially filed to list the Canary PENGU ETF, the first-ever ETF backed by $PENGU and Pudgy Penguin NFTs.
Here are some key takeaways from the filing 🧵
The ETF will hold:
🧊 80–95% $PENGU
🐧 5–15% Pudgy Penguin NFTs
💱 Minimal SOL + ETH to cover transaction fees
It will trade under Cboe Rule 14.11(e)(4), typically reserved for commodity-based trust shares like gold, silver, and now… penguins.
Why this matters:
📈 It gives traditional investors exposure to PENGU and NFTs with no wallets or bridges required.
🏛️ It brings regulatory legitimacy to the Pudgy Penguin ecosystem.
🐧 It recognizes Pudgy Penguins as more than memes, they’re investable digital assets.
The filing argues the ETF meets SEC standards without needing a surveillance-sharing agreement by using the same logic that got spot Bitcoin and ETH ETFs approved:
✅ Global liquidity
✅ Arbitrage across markets
✅ No centralized control
✅ Difficulty of manipulation
NAV will be calculated daily.
IIV (intraday value) updated every 15 seconds.
Daily holdings and price transparency will be published publicly.
Shares will be created/redeemed in cash (10k share blocks), with all digital asset trading handled by the Trust, not the buyers.
