Pudgy Penguins denies OpenSea acquisition rumors, focuses on partnerships
Pudgy Penguins shut down rumors of an OpenSea buyout, calling the speculation unnecessary and pointing instead to growing brand partnerships.
Pudgy Penguins has denied speculation that it acquired NFT marketplace OpenSea, following a wave of social media chatter suggesting a deal may have closed as early as December 2024.
In a Saturday post on X, Beau, head of security at Pudgy Penguins, dismissed the acquisition talk. “Pudgy Penguins didn’t buy OpenSea… chill,” he wrote.
He claimed that the project has big plans, so there’s no need to focus on just one possible acquisition. “Talk about partnering with Lufthansa and NASCAR, and go find the next great brand for us to proliferate with,” Beau wrote.
