Because Pudgy Penguins is decentralized, it isn't tied to any single country. That means you can buy and sell it from anywhere in the world, including Canada, as long as you have internet access.

What is Pudgy Penguins?

Pudgy Penguins coin (PENGU) is the native cryptocurrency of the Pudgy Penguins ecosystem — a web3 brand built around a popular NFT collection of adorable, chubby penguins.

Originally known for its viral profile pictures (PFPs) and meme-driven community, Pudgy Penguins has since expanded into toys, licensing deals and a growing presence in mainstream retail. The PENGU coin aims to support this broader ecosystem by powering in-game economies, digital experiences and future community governance.

While still in its early stages, the coin is also expected to play a key role in the Pudgy World — a metaverse-style digital playground where users can interact as their penguin avatars. PENGU may be used for:

• Buying cosmetic upgrades and collectibles
• Participating in on-chain events and experiences
• Earning rewards through play-to-earn mechanics
• Voting on community proposals (planned)

Though not yet fully launched across all platforms, Pudgy Penguins coin is part of a broader shift toward branding NFTs as entertainment IP with real-world utility, not just digital art.

What will I need to buy Pudgy Penguins?

To create an account with your chosen crypto platform, you only need an email address or mobile number. This will usually allow you to deposit cryptocurrency, but not CAD.

If you want to buy Pudgy Penguins with Canadian dollars, you'll need to pass a Know Your Customer (KYC) check.

This is a standard security procedure for most exchanges in Canada and requires you to upload government-issued photo ID, and, in some cases, a selfie with today's date.

KYC is usually approved instantly, but in rare cases, you may have to wait a few hours or days.

Can I buy Pudgy Penguins with a credit card?

Several crypto exchanges in Canada accept credit cards as an instant purchase method. However, before buying Pudgy Penguins with a credit card, you should be aware of the additional cost and risks involved.

For instance, credit card fees are usually higher than bank transfers or e‑Transfers. Some card issuers may even block cryptocurrency transactions or treat them as cash advances, which are more expensive. Plus, if you don't pay off your credit card within your statement period, you may end up paying interest on your card balance and losing money if the price moves quickly.

For example, if you were to use a credit card to buy Pudgy Penguins, you could end up paying this:

• Price of PENGU: $0.010 USD
• Purchase amount: 1000 PENGU
• Estimated exchange fee (3%): $0.30 USD
• Total cost: $10.39 USD

If it took you three months to pay off your Pudgy Penguins purchase at a credit card interest rate of 19.99% APR, you would pay an additional $0.52 USD in interest on top of what you originally paid to buy Pudgy Penguins.

This example can help you compare the relative cost of buying Pudgy Penguins with a credit card versus other lower‑fee methods like Interac e-Transfers.

You can check the table of Canadian crypto exchanges above to see which ones accept credit cards for buying Pudgy Penguins, or visit our guide on buying crypto with a credit card for more details.

Can I buy Pudgy Penguins with a debit card?

Yes, it is possible to buy Pudgy Penguins with a debit card, as most Canadian crypto exchanges accept debit cards as an instant payment method.

To buy Pudgy Penguins with a debit card, you'll typically need to go through the standard steps to purchase crypto on your preferred platform and then select debit from the list of payment options (e.g. Interac e-Transfer, debit card, credit card) before completing your purchase.

Just note that there are often higher fees for crypto purchases with cards (both debit and credit) compared to paying with Interac e-Transfer or with another cryptocurrency.

Is buying Pudgy Penguins crypto a good investment?

Like any cryptocurrency, buying Pudgy Penguins can be risky. But there are precautions you can take to help mitigate risk. Consider these general factors before investing in Pudgy Penguins:

• Price volatility: Pudgy Penguins's price is largely based on speculation, meaning it can rise or fall quickly. For example, Pudgy Penguins's price has decreased by -1.06% in just the last seven days.

• Transactions can't be reversed: Once you submit a transaction to the crypto network, it can't be cancelled or reversed. Double-check the receiving address before submitting a Pudgy Penguins purchase order or moving Pudgy Penguins off an exchange. One good way to do this is to verify the first and last four digits of the wallet address before sending. There is no way to refund Pudgy Penguins sent to the wrong address.

• Regulatory uncertainty: The regulatory environment for Pudgy Penguins and other cryptocurrencies is constantly changing. It's important to understand how international rulings have the potential to impact Pudgy Penguins's future—for better or worse.
