KET Crypto Explodes +15%: PENGU Whales Dump The Penguin For A Yellow Cat

Animal-themed meme coins are seemingly hot once again. Per CoinGecko data, a vast number of the top-gaining tokens today are animal coins. This includes CHILLGUY, DAKU, TURBO and KET crypto.

One meme coin in particular that is flying is KET, a cat-themed token. PENGU, the native token for NFT project Pudgy Penguins, has tanked overnight, with traders seemingly rotating to the yellow cat.

KET Up 15% As PENGU Slides 9%: Animal Szn Is Here As Rotation From Penguins to Cats Begins

One animal token that hasn’t fared too well over the past 24 hours is PENGU. It is the native token powering the Pudgy Penguins NFT ecosystem. While it is down 9% on the day, it had a strong end to April and has more than doubled on a 14-day time frame.

However, there has been some rotation from Price Volume in 24h Price 7d following its impressive 109% run in less than two weeks. Investors have seemingly dumped the penguin for cats and dogs, notably CHILLGUY and KET crypto.

Price Volume in 24h Price 7d , the viral meme of 2024, is up over 25% in the past 24 hours while Price Volume in 24h Price 7d has spiked 15% in the same time frame. Interestingly for KET, while most tokens are down 70-90% from their all-time highs following a rough Q1 2025, the yellow cat only has to move 42% in order to re-visit its February high of $0.5.

In comparison, CHILLGUY is still 92% from its all-time high, even with this latest pump. It is currently trading for $0.05 while back in November 2024, it briefly hit $0.56, giving it a market cap of $550 million as a result.

Could KET Crypto Hit A New All-Time High As Bitcoin Continues To Tease $100k Re-Test?

KET has the advantage of living on the Avalanche (AVAX) blockchain – while it doesn’t have the liquidity or userbase of Ethereum or Solana, there is less competition. As a result, KET has become somewhat of a mascot on Avalanche, with its community heralding it as the premier meme coin for the network.

A 40% pump from these levels for the yellow cat will take it to around $0.5, making it a $500 million market cap meme coin in the process. With Bitcoin looking set to re-test $100k in the coming days, the altcoin market, and meme coins especially, look ready to explode.

However, if BTC rejects from $100k, it could invoke some short-term volatility across the crypto markets, with meme coins likely to be hit especially hard. The markets will likely pick a direction soon enough with the upcoming Fed meetings next week, on May 6 & 7.

Prediction platform Polymarket currently has ‘No change’ to interest rates at 96%, indicating that Bitcoin and the wider markets will be given breathing room to continue their recent uptrend in anticipation of rate cuts in June.

Per Polymarket, the outcome of June’s Fed meetings currently sit at 48% ‘No change’ and 46% ’25bps decrease’. Many analysts believe that a trade deal needs to be worked out prior to June’s meeting for any chance of a rate cut.
